I like finding out what people my age and older had as their first cell phone. Anybody younger and their answer is a generic Android or iPhone. Phones from the 2000s were some wacky device like the sidekick or samsung x83 or lg env2

My first phone was a nokia 1112 in 2008

languages that don't distinguish between formal and informal you are missing out on so much petty drama. my grandparents have two neighbours who once got into a huge fight over something honestly pretty trivial, so neighbour A said he was going to revoke neighbour B's du (informal you) privileges. neighbour B was like "okay but can i use du one last time?" and neighbour A was like "yeah go ahead", and neighbour B said "du arschloch" (you asshole). incredible.

I’m so sick and tired everytime there is a heatwave in Europe that non europeans (and I mean americans mostly, let’s be real) will try to say it’s not that bad and that it’s worse where they live. Excuse me, France being hotter than 98% of the planet is NOT normal. 40 degrees in june in Europe is NOT normal. And i don’t care that you have AC every where in the US and act like it’s the greatest accomplishment, most europeans don’t have it because it’s expensive, same for pools. They always have something to say even when it’s none of their business and don’t experience it directly.

I know, anon. I saw so many of these takes. And I also saw US Americans and others on twitter or IG say that it's simply not the same. Like people from places where they know insane heat are like, it's different here. For some reason it's turned into a competition.

Like no matter where the heat is, people suffer from it. There are countries, however, that are better equipped to deal with it. Many countries in Europe aren't cause it's a fairly new problem here. We will have to find new and better solutions for the future.

This week, we remember Jo Cox who was tragically murdered for her anti-racist beliefs. 10 years on, instances of hate crimes are becoming more common, not less.

What should have been a wake up call was sadly ignored, with the major parties now echoing anti-migrant sentiments.

‘The biggest rollback of disability rights in a generation’ – Charities respond to Supreme Court ruling

The uk Supreme Court has just done a major rollback on disability rights and is putting more disabled people in danger

[roboticutie]

Under this new ruling, multiple vulnerable groups will be impacted across social care and healthcare sectors. If an autistic person with high support needs, someone with a serious mental illness, or a person with a severe learning disability is locked in a care setting and sedated, but does not actively protest, they will no longer be considered "confined" by the state. They will lose their automatic right to independent reviews, a legal advocate, and protection from closed care cultures.

This ruling states if someone is sedated and does not instigate a complaint regarding their circumstances while ACTIVELY SEDATED, then they have no right to legal checks and balances to preserve their wellbeing??? Is this correct??? The UK is falling apart.

[flowercrowncrip]

As far as I can tell from reading the statement by Mind and the BBC article, this ruling states that people who don’t have the legal capacity to understand why they’re being physically or chemically restrained/ kept in a locked care home or ward etc. are still able to give “consent” to that treatment in a way that it doesn’t count as a deprivation of liberty.

So if someone is chemically sedated, doesn’t understand that’s what’s happening, but doesn’t complain then they could be seen to be “consenting” to that treatment. That’s true even if they don’t know what the medication is, what the effects are, how long they last or that there might be other options.

Because the presence of “consent” means that a restriction wouldn’t be considered “Deprivation of Liberty” it means these people aren’t entitled to deprivation of liberty safeguards, which including having independent checks to make sure that any restrictions to their freedom is proportionate and that they’re not being abused in that setting.

One of the reasons the ruling was made is that it placed an “undue burden” on local authorities. Basically local governments were like “hey we’re massively failing our legal duties to protect incredibly vulnerable people from abuse, any chance you could let us off so we don’t have to do it?” And the UK Supreme Court agreed with them.

[flowercrowncrip]

The other hugely chilling “reasoning” behind this ruling (other than finances) is the idea that disabled people cannot be deprived of their liberty if they can’t understand that’s what’s happening. It’s absolutely disgusting.

Theirs already a disabled genocide going on in the uk like no joke

On this day, May 30th, 1967, the world lost perhaps the finest example of a character actor to ever grace the screen, stage, and radio waves, Mr. William Claude Rains. His legacy as an actor is still remembered by audiences today. On our blog, we've taken pride in sharing pictures, polls, and clips for a while and hope to continue on as long as we can. Today, we'd like to share some extra special things to honor such an incredible and memorable legacy.

(if you made it this far, thank you all so much for sticking with this blog after all this time :))
