The sins of the parent are not the sins of the child. I’m sure you said this because you are hurting unimaginably more than I am (I live several timezones away). However difficut it is, I think it’s worth trying our damdest not to be pulled down into fascistic vitriol, thinking children deserve a broken life for only the blood in their veins. I oppose ICE and other similar groups around the world because their actions conflict directly and harshly with my ideals, and I sometimes start to lose sight of those very ideals when I get more and more angry at the news. I’m very glad for the few voices I’ve heard that remind me to look up and try to rise above my feelings, not in a "turn the other cheek, we can’t stop the horrors bc red tape is our #1 priority), but just in a way that reminds of you of why your fighting, so you don’t find that you’ve started fighting yourself.

“Concepts of a plan”

Don’t call me put like this just after I wake up!

The only thing I could find online regarding this was this stackexchange with the accepted answer claiming that there is no legislation, only a ruling from the Australian Classification Board against some media that they said “depicted [young persons] on the bordeline of 18 years old.” I.e. it was a discretionary ruling by a statutory regulator that thought someone looked a bit too much like a child.

There are some more links on that stackexchange but some are dead and I only skimmed a couple of them so I encourage people to read through themsleves since I was too lazy to sort the situation out for myself; I only found enough to satisfy my curiosity and thought I should leave this comment to add context to a bizarre claim (not blaiming prev commenter, my memory is horrible too and I also found some news articles that were definitely depicting the situation the way they remembered)

Part of the reason there’s not more evidence and it’s hard to prove a causal link is because it’s next to impossible to find enough participants for a control group because of how prevalent microplastics have become in our food and subsequently our bodies. You can’t exactly run peer review observational, experimental and double blind studies on only one half (more like one third, as a causal study would need to induce change from a->b) of the required test groups. t- and p-tests also are much less valuable if the sample size is too small.

Literally what I’m doing right now (its 0246 pls help fix my brain)
