Thanks for the follow, that's very nice of you.

Generally the way I do things is, if you engage me in conversation, and it goes ok, I'll usually follow back.

But you don't have to either, if you just want to read and have a chuckle, that's fine too. I'm highly introverted, I get it.

While incredibly sad, this doesn't surprise me in the least.

This government has proven time and time again to be completely incapable of imagining and catering to a world outside of their own carefully curated bubbles. #nzpol
My nephew is dyslexic and his high school offers an alternative learning track for students like him.
My sister called the school yesterday to confirm she'd like him enrolled in that programme and was told it might not be available next year because the new curriculum doesn't include it. 😱😱

I would have loved one of these, but they're not sold in Australia for some reason.

I've looked at prices on Woolies Everyday Market, too expensive.
I wonder if anyone uses it?

GOVT: We must prevent under-16s from being exposed to inappropriate material.

TEENS: We'll just go to other apps. Here's one called 'Lemon8' Everyone to Lemon8! It's time for a Lemon Party!
Scoop: The most popular apps in Australia right now are social media platforms not included in the teen ban (so far).

This comes as teens make videos recommending that they all migrate to these alternative platforms to get around the ban — something experts warned about.

I don't mind videos automatically playing, but often two videos play at once.

One at a time, please.

And I'd prefer it so all videos were muted.
