Since its 2018 release, the Australian show about the life of a family of anthropomorphic blue heeler dogs has captivated audiences of parents and children alike. Now, Bluey has found a new and unexpected audience: Gen-Z, who, because of the power of social media, has developed a love for the show. Why have they done this? It’s a bit of an interesting story!

There’s so many creative people in the world. It’s wonderful

This year, like many others in recent history, millions of #Venezuelans will spend the #holiday season abroad. This is a complicated time for the emerging Venezuelan #diaspora. I spoke to people from #NorthAmerica to #Australia, to see how they experience the complexities of the holidays.

I think that has had a lasting impact in our politics and the inability to develop functional political negotiation infrastructure.
