I’d say that those in power have no authority anymore, though. We need to normalise taking away the authority if used against our collective interests.

A downside of self education is not knowing when you’ll reach your goal exactly. It’s the curiosity that guides as opposed to a clearly defined outcome: a diploma, a qualification.
Self teaching is, as I see it, foremost for me. The future “boss”, if smart, can benefit, but is not who I care about.

A circular hike from Aigra Nova. · Gathio Aigra Nova, it's one of the reasons I moved to Portugal. I especially enjoy it in the winter, when prolonged rain tricks into thinking I live in Scotland. The secluded village up in Lousã Mountains i...

We stand with them: no more talk, real action. We ask the COP30 Presidency to stand with us and act!

@cop30brazil.bsky.social‬, the climate crisis won’t wait, and neither will we. From the Amazon to the Pacific, Indigenous and traditional Peoples are calling for courage, justice, and real action to phase out fossil fuels #COP30.

The language used in the document sounds like they want to simplify processes. Less bureaucracy, which would be nice. But does it mean that customer protections would be lowered ? I hope not.
