How Young Is Too Young for Twitch Streaming?

Currently, you have to be 13 years old or older to have a Twitch account, which allows you to both comment and stream on the platform. For context, you could have been born on August 16th of 2009, less than nine months into Obama’s first year as President, and you could now make an account and stream online for all of Twitch to see. Unfortunately, like with all things Internet/social media related, that has come with some drawbacks from which we are just now starting to see the fallout.

Why We Need an Ozma Movie

ozma of oz serving royal elegance
Kenya Barris has been tapped by Warner Bros, to write and direct a reimagining of Wizard of Oz. A task that is very doable considering the books and the 30s film are very different. Plus, its in the public domain so why not tap into that sweet Wicked demographic. Barris is keeping his "modern reimagining" details close. For me exploring the world established by Wizard of Oz film is all well and good, but I'm ready for the real friend of Dorothy—Princess Ozma of Oz.
