It’s a legitimate societal issue. The mental health and social damage it’s doing to children should not be an accepted as a social media functionality. I don’t know what the answer is, but surely there is a way to achieve both privacy for adult users and age identification for children.
Got some early jonquills flowering. And wattle is full of buds. Spring in not far away.
I’ll be honest, I’m not really sure what it will achieve other than new inner city stations? Parkville is needed due to the uni and hospitals, but I don’t really know how useful the others will be. The inner city is already exceptionally well serviced by public transport compared to the rest of Melbourne. So it kinda seems like it’s just making it better for existing users that already have it pretty damn good? I don’t live or work anywhere that will benefit, so I’m a bit meh about it.
The annual battle with spring weeds has commenced. Pulling out in garden beds and spraying in paved areas. I feel terrible about the spraying but it’s the most effective. Pulling out between pavers often leaves the roots and regrowth. If I ever move house, I’m gonna make sure that any hard surfaces are concrete and not paving.
