My phone, which is satellite-tracked by the Taiwan gov to enforce quarantine, ran out of battery at 7:30 AM. By 8:15, four different units called me. By 8:20, the police were knocking at my door.

Don't panic! Just don't organise or attend crowded events or travel unless you have to. Doctors and nurses will be there for you when you need them. There are things you can do now that will help them later.

CANCEL THINGS. Your event doesn't matter as much as someone else's life. Reduce the spread now before the load on medics becomes overwhelming

Don't wait for the government to act. If you can minimise human contact, do so NOW even if you are healthy and strong, it will slow the spread of the virus for others and buy time for the hospitals.

This is heartening and it's a shame that very few councils have done things like this to their parks. thetimes.co.uk/article/45a77…

‘We can’t go home again, to home as it was when we lost it. But we can find our own ways to return, anew. And in those ways, maybe everything we hope for can be possible.’ @hollyringland on writing as healing - just beautiful.

Am I the only person in the entire #WritersCommunity who *doesn’t* listen to music while she writes? 😂 Don’t get me wrong, I love music. I just can’t write and bop at the same time. 😂 Let me know what you listen to when you write; or if, like me, you write to silence.

What a baffling judgement. Everyone knows it’s general practice be it book, screen, music or theatre that a commission will be paid in perpetuity to the agent that wrangles the deal on behalf of the artist. theguardian.com/books/2018/d… – at Sydney, New South Wales

Canberra should be preserved as a Modernist showcase, bus stops and all.
As old post-war buildings are knocked down and new apartments go up, are we wrecking Canberra’s heritage? Genevieve Jacobs has more ow.ly/ysGV30muEOS
