A specific phenomenon to being a female activist in the public field is a RAMPANT sexualization, no matter the age. There truly is a disgusting, pedophilic approach to their hatred of a powerful teen girl.

Sydney I can’t believe how incredible last night was! 🤯 Thank you so much! I’m in Melbourne tonight for my biggest headline show ever!

Today’s the day I get to see @AmySharkMusic! It’s been a year since I first met her and so much has happened between now and then... I have been looking forward today for months! – at Sydney, New South Wales
This whole time zone thing is so weird. 9am here and just starting to venture out for the day here in Sydney. – at Sydney, New South Wales
I leave for Australia on Monday, primarily to see Amy perform twice in her home country. Can’t wait to visit Sydney, and her hometown of Melbourne and see her play two arena shows! – at Indiana, USA

I think right around this minute is just about exactly 5 years since the Heartbleed vulnerability in OpenSSL became public. I remember the day vividly, and if you're interested, allow me to tell you about how the day, and the subsequent months, and years unfolded ...
I’m driving back to Chicago from Ann Arbor, stopping off at this Tesla Supercharger... and I fail to understand why, with all of the parking available close to the building, why someone would park their truck in a charging spot and walk 200 feet further to go inside – at Marshall, MI
Another Marshall, MI Supercharger update. Another van pulled up and had some sort of exchange with the driver of the truck before pulling away after about 5 minutes.
Scene: 5pm, downtown Chicago, warm spring day, busy streets and pedestrians returning home from work, running with strollers, walking dogs.
@FedEx driver, turning on hazards: I’ll just leave my truck in a tow zone forcing other cars to make a blind turn into oncoming traffic.
Goodbye Detroit! I can’t believe how much you have come in just a couple years since I was last here. – at Detroit, MI
Just bought a whole bunch of concert tickets! My upcoming calendar: Alison Wonderland/Dillon Francis (Detroit 2/16), Cherry Glazerr (Maybe, 2/23), Metric (3/22), Daedelus (3/23), Cradle of Filth (Maybe 3/25), Excision (Maybe 3/30), Com Truise (4/3), Ariana Grande (maybe 4/7-8) – at Chicago, IL
So, I missed @awonderland’s set last night because @NavyPier’s security took over an hour to get through. I made it in just in time to see them taking about her stage and setting up for @DillonFrancis. Getting the runaround from @axs and nobody has any answers or can do anything
All @AXS can do is offer me a $43 ticket with $20.30 in fees and their best wishes that it will all go well. I don’t blame @awonderland at all, but the people working for her events are not doing her any favors. I got in on the presale and would have got VIP if I saw it. – at Chicago, IL
I did get to see @awonderland join @DillonFrancis for the last song of the night, but even this wasn’t enough knowing the show she put on a few hours earlier while I was standing in a security line waiting to have some decide I’m over 18 and can be allowed in. So disappointing.
