15.01.2022 Victoria is proudly the creative state. To see that suddenly shut down has been heartbreaking.

12.01.2022 DION IS A BALL OF NERVOUS ENERGY and not sure about his place in the boisterously loud play-baiting of his elder brother Ned, his sister Lizzy, and his brother’s mate Nick. They’ve been patrolling the suburban train station since eight o’clock that morning, harassing peak hour passengers and kids in uniforms on their way to school.
