Thanks for having me! I’m usually a bit quiet with new people, so 'getting into character' was a great way to step out of my comfort zone.

It was a real confidence boost. I’m 100% up for doing it again!

It might be a rare example of something being too good AND true, but the scale of the reveals and the hasty rollout of the feature AND the reliability IP-based geolocation makes me wonder if we should apply a tiny little bit of scepticism.

These are families trying to integrate, learning the language, building a life. To meet that effort with intimidation and hate is absolutely vile.

Solidarity with the staff and families facing this.
