Unfortunately for those that have not seen or were too young to experience a live Bailter Space concert there is a criminal lack of quality footage and sound available on YouTube. This by bfm is probably the best.

Our queer child found their community on line and the average white mean girls bullied them in the school playground.
Their queer community was their safe space.
I’d create accounts for them to get around the no to under 16 nonsense.
I support these comments from lived experience.

If you don't want your kids on social media, that's an individual parenting choice I will think you're foolish for making, but you can make it. You don't get to make that choice for someone else's parenting and someone else's kids.

Requiring temporary visitors to surrender five years of social media to the U.S. sends the message that the American commitment to free speech is pretense. This simply is not the behavior of a country confident in its freedoms.
It's a threat to free speech around the world and must be opposed.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

2nd child has arrived into Sydney this evening to go to Lady Gaga on Saturday night. Travelled by themself. Really proud of them as just a few years ago life was a real struggle. So glad that they found their people in Wellington and has a solid Innovator-in-Residence scholarship this summer.

Solar is freedom ☀️
Australia has had solar subsidies for so long that some of my Aussie colleagues are eligible for a second round of upgrades because it's been ten years.
NZ meanwhile, we can't have nice things. It might upset the status quo.

The reduced ability of vegetation & soils to capture & store carbon may have kept temperatures elevated for >100,000 years
