keep thinking about how | wrote in my
dissertation about how every time a new
form of public/social space emerges it's
immediately popular with kids and teenagers
who see it as a chance at freedom and then
adults colonise it and kick them out. this
happened with malls in the 80s and diners
in the 50s and pool halls in the 20s. my
dad was doing research on this trend in like
1975. and | was like "yeah so this is going to
happen to the internet” and then five years
later every government suddenly decided
to ban kids from everywhere online. | hate
being right especially when | don't even get
paid for it
