29 July

I’ve had a day with multiple reminders of the kidult bullshit those at the front-line of actual provision of basic public services have to deal with. I know it annoys some to speak of kidult culture - well folks, come spend a day in the trenches with the medical staff, teachers, emergency services, local government staff etc. who have to deal with a nation of kidults. Whose only idea of adult responsibility is ridiculous, impotent hashtag ‘look at me’ stunts like this. Thank you police for acting and putting a stop to nonsense like this. And my condolences to the teachers today dealing with whining kidult parents, and nurses dealing with entitled and whining kidult patients and anti-vaxers, and police and local government staff asked to arbitrate and fix the mess caused by the explosion in kidult pile-ons. These people are on the receiving end of a relentless tidal wave of vile abuse, every day, from spoiled children aged 17-100.
