hey really quickly to the girl dads, if you have young girls ALWAYS come to the women’s restroom, us girls do NOT care, we don’t care that you’re protecting your girls and making sure they’re safe, a WOMAN will never ever argue with you about that, protect your girls, always!!!!!
this tweet raises a really good point; if kids and teenagers are going to be banned from using social media then there should also be a ban on adults (including their own parents) from posting them online
she’s not beyond critique but i find the “she’s so immature” attack against Rodrigo pretty insipid. she’s always written at her age level. it lacks so much imagination to want every artist to be “beyond their years” as if encapsulating your current age isn’t just as valuable
so much sympathy for today's kids. every aspect of their lives has been impoverished, there are no spaces for them, everything is prohibitively expensive, the planet is dying, they're being repeatedly infected, and the solution is apparently to further isolate them digitally.
The people smugly gloating that young people will just have to 'find something else to do' in response to the social media bans are usually the exact same people who seethe with anger and make reports about 'loitering' whenever they have to share public spaces with teenagers.
doing this without investing in kid-friendly public spaces and programmes makes no sense whatsoever. all this is gonna do is push kids to use more fringe and unregulated social media apps
that’s the question isn’t it. what WILL she do? there are no youth clubs for her to attend. food, cinema tickets, any sort of third space activity is all too expensive. their parents are underpaid, saturday jobs don’t exist any more, children have truly been abandoned by the govt
Literally everyone deserves to go out for dinner, buy coffees, wear quality clothing and have fun experiences whilst also being able to afford rent, groceries, bills & have a little left over for savings no matter what job they do. Why is that so absurd to some people?
A trillionair, yet his name does not appear on a single school, university, library, museum wing, hospital, stadium, arena, airport, or endowed chairs. What a colossal waste of a human lifetime.
Had one of my fave days of the year so naturally I’m now feeling awful and like I’m a rubbish person and can’t stop crying but that’s not going to help me feel any better
