"Challenges that were once reserved for disabled people and those with minority neurotypesparticularly those surrounding the inaccessibility of public spaces, and the corresponding threat of social isolationare suddenly everybody’s problem. Working, learning, and socialising from home offers yet another valuable teaching tool: It offers a rare insight into the realities of living in a limited world, where safe spaceshome, a favourite restaurant, ‘Quiet Hour’ at the grocery storeare few and far between, and where personal health and wellbeing are frequently at risk in public spaces." https://www.latrobe.edu.au//what-learning-teaching-and-wo/

"We need to reimagine public safety in ways that shrink and eventually abolish police and prisons while prioritizing education, housing, economic security, mental health and alternatives to conflict and violence. People often question the practicality of any emergency response that excludes the police. We live in a violent society, but the police rarely guarantee safety. Now more than ever is the time to divest not only from police resources, but also the idea that the police keep us safe."

"Sitting on the sofa and gazing longingly at the pile of unread books cluttering my coffee table has become my new hobby. Sure, I want to read and have picked up numerous books so far but when I sit down to read and flick to the first page, my mind has other ideas. However hard I try, I just cannot concentrate at the moment."
