Tonight’s walk

I buy most of my fresh food from the markets here now. It is generally a lot better quality than what the supermarkets sell and it supports the farmers directly. Some of the fruit and veg subscription boxes are a good option too.

The festival here has only been running since 2021 and sounds very similar. It has a lot of different types of installations around the city. This one was held in the botanic gardens. It brings a lot of people and a good atmosphere into the city during winter when it is normally pretty quiet.

This is great! We had something similar here in South Australia earlier this year as part of the Illuminate Adelaide festival. I didn’t get a lot of good video but this was one of the more interesting ones. https://v.nostr.build/bNH9j1izH2q9MwKP.mp4

I don’t necessarily disagree but there have been attempts to make laws censoring access to online porn for under 18s since the mid to late 90s. It is probably easier to access and more prevalent now so those laws haven’t been successful. (The EFA has a lot of historical info on the various censorship attempts here in Australia https://efa.org.au/censorship/)

The harm from social media access isn’t as clear cut either. I think social media, if used carefully, can provide benefits for some children for example if they are living in isolated areas, and there is some good educational content too. I personally feel it should be left to the parents to make decisions on what is best for their kids.

It should be purely a parental responsibility to decide when kids are allowed on social media and not something for the government to decide.

They are at least claiming that government issued ID (including digital ID) won’t be mandatory and that platforms must offer alternative methods to verify age. It remains to be seen how this will actually be implemented though. They also say there will be no penalties for parents or children so it is basically ok to ignore it and work around the age verification measures.
