🫣OMG!! WATCH TILL THE END!!!😳💀 Yesterday, I discovered a disturbing video on YouTube Kids that my four-year-old son was watching. It featured a clown running an ice cream truck. At first glance, it seemed harmless, but the storyline quickly took a dark turn. The clown became enraged when children rejected his ice creams, throwing them on the ground. In retaliation, he forced clown noses onto their faces, which caused them to glow. Suddenly, the children were performing for the clown’s entertainment, completely against their will. The clown reveled in their forced performances, waving his arms like a conductor controlling them like puppets. As the children refused to take more ice cream, the clown grew angrier, realizing they weren’t truly enjoying it. He made them perform again and again, in a nightmarish cycle that seemed never-ending. Watching this reminded me of the allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is facing charges of manipulating people—especially women—into attending his elaborate “freak offs.” In these parties, victims were reportedly locked in, coerced with drugs and alcohol, and forced to participate in disturbing activities for days on end, unable to escape. Diddy allegedly used threats and violence to maintain control over them, just as the clown did with the children in the video. The most unsettling part is that this video is readily accessible on YouTube Kids. The first time I saw my son watching it, I didn’t think much of it, though I did find the clown creepy. But when I watched it again, I realized just how dark and inappropriate it was. Despite my nervous laughter while watching, I was in shock. It hit me especially hard because I’ve experienced being drugged. In my 20’s I was unknowingly drugged at a night club and lucky for me it took effect when I had gone to the bathroom and stayed in the bathroom stall for many hours until it wore off enough and could get myself to a taxi. It’s terrifying to think that this kind of control and manipulation could be shown on kids YouTube aimed at young children. #pdiddy #hollyweird #puffdaddy #freakoff #kidstvshow #youtubekids What do you think? Should this be banned? 24/09/2024

Perfect book for early preschoolers 31/08/2021

Check out this blog I wrote for Australian magnetic tile brand Magblox featuring their new pre-schooler activity book. It combines their super engaging book with magnetic tiles to promote LEARNING THROUGH PLAY.
Also, did you know their tiles are made from recycled plastic and their packaging is compostable? Wow!

Check out the blog now. It’s my first time writing for a brand and I’d love to know what you think?

Perfect book for early preschoolers I homeschool my preschooler and have a strong educational focus on STEM and learning through play. Quality and engaging age-appropriate material are always on my radar, so I was very excited to get my hands on the new Magblox Activity Book for 3-5-year-olds. Activity books are a perfect way to chall...

E is for Energy in our STEM challenge . .

Can you think of something that would be better for this world with a replacement of renewable energy? Design something and tag and with the hashtag to have your post featured. .


My son designed a tow truck (because they emit lots of fumes when they drive) and replaced it with a wind turbine at the top to convert the tow truck into an electric vehicle. His reasoning for the wind turbine is because it’s always windy, especially when they are driving...and they drive lots picking up cars”. My 4 year old went a few steps further and put a battery pack on the side with a charging cable for other vehicles who need a boost of energy. He also put a garden on top to clean the air. Omg, seriously... I’m so impressed!! .
My son chose to design his creation with his .au and because they are his favorite toys and Magblox has amazing Lego compatible tiles so he can attach Lego to his magnetic tiles. Best invention ever for a very STEM focused child! .


Check out the to “See inside energy” and learn how it’s made.
Renewable energy is useful energy that is collected from renewable resources, which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, including carbon neutral sources like sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. .
