I also think it's part of a wider stripping of independence from teens under the guise of protecting them
find the idea of banning social media for under 16s incredibly depressing and short sight1ed
or in communication with their kids about what they are doing there
yeah they are - my eldest is on a server with other teens where they all share their lastfm stats for the week and find new music.and inevitably cheer each other up when school sucks wtc.I think a lot of ways that teens use the Internet are invisible to adults who are not very online
Last day of the year and we seem to have a fridge full of alcopops. This can only mean that The Teenagers Are Coming
there is no one more suited to carry this out than you
I mean the tickets yes, but not my very entertaining presentation of them
Elbowed open the kids door playing you outta know to let my eldest know I'd got them Alanis tickets and she didn't even appreciate
also really bleakly funny when they'll tell you absolutely any symptom under the sun is "anxiety"
yeah I use spotify mostly for listening to playlists when I am out or at work and new to me albums etc. if I like an album I tend to buy it on vinyl or sometimes cd. I never got rid of any of my physical music and I like having the physical library to listen to
ACAB includes Elf on the Shelf
screaming like a professional when they got pulled up on stage for the last song
holding bags and jackets like a professional
got a free ticket to take the oldest to see turnstile with girls rock glasgow which is awesome but now I am chilling alone while the teens try to get as far forward as possible
Invited my eldest to the cinema tonight amd she invited her girlfriend which is how I ended up a third wheeling in my own plans AND paying for all the snacks
RIP the last remaining good website
being a glamours assistant for @kissakerho.bsky.social at Glasgow Zinefest today
I knew it was going to be special taking Ramona to see Charli XCX as she turned 12 but seeing how joyful she was just totally blew me away.
Part of the power of a denialist official narrative is in making you feel like you're going mad, a broken record, as you repeatedly insist on blatant truth and basic morality.
There is an ongoing genocide, including the large-scale massacre of children, aided by our government and country.
"island of strangers"
The Israeli government is starving Gaza's entire population.
It has now announced plans to invade and occupy the whole strip, forcing further displacement.
What additional proof is needed that this is genocide? Why isn’t our government doing everything it can to stop this?

By me, in the book Fierce Salvage: "When Scotland was judged the best place in Europe for LGBTQ+ people to live, to work and to love in the mid-2010s, we saw it as a sign of how far we’d come. We didn’t see it for what it really was: a sign of how far we were about to fall."
told the kids that the moisturiser i put in the bathroom was communal but Ramona misheard me and has been calling it the communist moisturiser
we aren't putting social media back in a bottle and putting kids under surveillance is a terrible way to build trust and to get them to open up to you
the conversation around adolescence boiling down to ban kids from social media! take away their privacy! is so depressingly short sighted
