Five years on from the first national lockdown, I looked at some of the less obvious ways society has changed, for @theipaper.com.

Today was the 1st day of lockdown for all of us. As a nation we have a collective shared trauma of Covid. If you lost a loved one you are part of an awful club where today is the start of an unimagined grief . Pls watch this doc tomorrow @mrjamesob.bsky.social @thejeremyvine.bsky.social

It really feels this week that we’ve slowly crawled out of a long, dark cold winter. It’s so good for the soul to feel the warm sunshine & see spring flowers blooming. You know you’re Middle Aged when your obsessed with lasagna bulb results

This month marks the fifth anniversary of the pandemic. We asked students how their lives changed because of it. "Even now, five years later, I am still nervous about germs — I don’t want to get sick. Covid was a very scary experience for me," said one teenager.

If you’re not aware, LC, like ME/CFS, devastates lives. And the medical profession has almost entirely abandoned sufferers.
And now in the U.K., it sounds as if most will now lose their PIP.

As a Classics student (state school educated blah blah blah), few things make me more satisfied than seeing Classics coming into the mainstream I.e Matt Damon as Odysseus. @rickriordan.bsky.social deserves a shrine for bringing Classics to our times
