Here we go again...

As you may have noticed, the haters are as active as ever – going after me, my looks, my clothes, my behaviour and my differences. They come up with every thinkable lie and conspiracy theory.

It seems they will cross every possible line to avert the focus, since they are so desperate not to talk about the climate and ecological crisis.

Being different is not an illness and the current, best available science is not opinions – it’s facts.

I honestly don’t understand why adults would choose to spend their time mocking and threatening teenagers and children for promoting science, when they could do something good instead.

I guess they must simply feel so threatened by us.

But don’t waste your time giving them any more attention. The world is waking up. Change is coming whether they like it or not.

See you in the streets this Friday!🔷
