Note (March 17, 2026): After recognizing that the guest post titled “30 Facts About Childhood Today that Will Terrify You” included inaccuracies, we made the decision to remove it from our Substack. After Babel is built on rigorous research, and we take the trust our readers place in us seriously. We believe it is important to acknowledge when we get something wrong. In this case, our editorial process didn’t meet that standard, and the post was published without sufficient vetting. We appreciate the feedback we received from attentive readers.
