Hush, the pond folk have spoken! Their word is absolute.

And this is why I refuse to take part in selfie culture. Shit's dangerous. When can we go back to the anonymous internet of yore?

I think part of the issue is that there's a lot more predatory shit on the internet nowadays. I say this as a person who has had unfettered access to the internet since my tweens. Social media and The Algorithms have changed the internet, and not necessarily for the better.

Just as a for-instance, if you go to YouTube on a freshly installed browser without logging in, the front page is kind of wild. Then the algorithm will pull you down a rabbit hole and kids who haven't been taught that they're being manipulated are going to start taking everything as fact from people like Tate.

We didn't have things trying to get in our heads to this extent; while I do wish the kids had their freedom, I also recognise that the internet has become hell. I can understand why parents would try to shield their kids from that.

For me it's scaphism. It will always be scaphism. It lives in my nightmares rent-free.

Brave, Firefox Focus and Mull are decent options for mobile users.

I adopted a stray recently. She has expressed zero interest in Outside ever since. She just wants love and cuddles. One less on the streets.
