"This is what I’m interested in: What makes an hour or a day or year feel like an hour or a day or year? As in, in itself, what is it? Does it matter?" —@ryangfrazer on how weird time has become recently. southerlychange.today/journal/the-en…
"You notice everyone’s eyes are doing this. Darting around, slightly wide-eyed, taking in what is normally at the periphery. You can’t help but think: this is who shows up to the end of this world." —@yoadriennecorro details a COVID-19 campus coffee run. southerlychange.today/journal/this-i…
"We peer through the thicket and try to spy the melodic source. But I step upon a stick, the snap ringing out like a gunshot, and the song of the birds extinguishes like a fire doused." —Patrick writes about walking and the magic of the superb lyrebird. southerlychange.today/journal/the-ly…

"For once in my life, my social anxiety and agoraphobic tendencies are proving useful. Like my husband Ned and I joke to each other: I’m living the dream." —Terri captures the little moments that make up her life amid the pandemic. southerlychange.today/journal/austin…
"I chant secret mantras to myself. I am lucky to be on a beach. I am lucky to be holding a hand, sometimes even two. I am lucky to kiss and be kissed. I am lucky to see footprints in the sand". —@chloewatfern muses on the curves that shape our worlds. southerlychange.today/journal/curve

Such an entertaining read @BronwynCarlson , and also a historical doc/journal entry for our times: will this seem real once we're through it and out the other side?

"It is my turn. At last! The woman at the door showers me with hand sanitiser. Staff wear masks, full body suits, oxygen tanks. I am living in a sci-fi movie." —@BronwynCarlson recounts her experience of surviving the great toilet paper shortage of 2020. southerlychange.today/journal/bog-ro…

OMG YES. Articulates so much of what we're struggling with at UOW. We work to offer our students equal opportunities in the classroom, but when they're learning from home in Wollongong or rural/regional towns? Where some homes don't have broadband and 4 siblings share 1 device?

"I marked the roll: 14 out of 26 students. I showed my class the new website. I watched as one of my students began to get visibly more worried and upset, until he was in full body-heaving sobs. I set the class a task, I took the student outside." southerlychange.today/journal/teachi…
"When I imagined our reunion, I thought we’d hug and cry and be happy. Most of all I imagined it would happen in July. Instead, it happened in March and I had to stay one and a half metres from my parents." Sky writes about the sudden end to her exchange. southerlychange.today/journal/back-t…

"I've become convinced that we inhabit a city of ghosts. Every morning we notice subtle differences in the driveway beyond the house; a car has been moved or the bins have been taken out." —Patrick writes about grief and loneliness in isolation. southerlychange.today/journal/grievi…
