The Australian social media ban for under 16s started yesterday.
What do you think? Is it a good idea or not? Will people actually stick to the rules or use various methods to get around them?
Looks like several European countries are considering adopting something similar, they’re watching to see if it works there or not.
I saw a cat in the schoolyard nearby, playing with two kids. The kids said the cat loves kids and comes to the playground on every recess to play with them. They were smushing her a little but she didn’t seem to mind. I guess if she really comes to the playground to be petted by 50 kids every day, she must actually like kids. This was something new, I must say.
Are you guys into house plants? If so, did you buy your plants or acquire them somehow? My house is full of plants that I either propagated from friends’ plants, or adopted because noone wanted them. As such, sometimes I don’t even know what they are.
A while ago a colleague brought some succulents that he had been propagating in small containers. I also got one. It was quite small then. Since then it’s been doing its thing as succulents do, and I recently realized it had grown quite a bit and also started to look like something I know. So I used the Seek app and it told me it’s glasswort. Glasswort! We eat that! It’s a plant that grows in beaches all over the Med, delicious steamed with lemon and olive oil. The stuff that grows on the beach us quite salty, but I guess my house plant isn’t.
Maybe I should move it to a larger container. That stuff is impossible to get here.
