Interested in music, rock, pop, classical, metal, indie, shoegaze, folk, so much out there to discover. Books such as SciFi, magical realism, natural history, gentle fiction, coffee table art.

Trying to navigate raising children, education, healthcare in a surprisingly pro-infection environment.

Like everyone around me (VIC🇦🇺), lived through 262 days of "lockdown" spread over roughly two years. Still mystified by the rug pull in October 2021 and the complete denial/silence around the subject now.

Outside the home, I always wear a respirator indoors, and sometimes outdoors depending on proximity/density. I have family members that are "high risk" but I think everyone is high risk. Increasingly ghosted/isolated as time goes on, ostensibly because of refusal to dine indoors.
