When Trump refused to condemn the Charlottesville Nazi march it emboldened the white supremacist.

A Swedish politician describes his son's entry into Active Club Network as merely getting in with the wrong crowd. The club is now excited to recruit more members.

24 years ago today, my paternal grandmother passed away. Visiting her and my father at the cemetery today. Cancer sucks.

Back in Sweden. An hour left until I'm in my little town I grew up in. Already feeling relaxed after this bullshit school year. Next will be my last at the school I'm currently teaching at. Too much bullshit.

So yesterday my boss decided that the last meeting of the school year would be about chastising people for using their PTO and giving out attendance awards. America is sick.

My school is merging my class with another class. I found out the same day the parents did. The school claims it's just been busy and they haven't had a chance to meet with me. I think they didn't want me to complain. My co-teacher is considering quitting.

You know it has been a hell of a school year when one colleague asks if someone can call in a bomb threat, and another thinks the administration should serve alcohol after dismissal.

The week ended up getting worse. Some of my students were suspended. A family wants one of my students expelled. I've spent the weekend having crippling anxiety.

It might feel ridiculous for some and some women might find it offensive... But as a woman who probably have fertility issues it's nice to get a Happy Mother's Day text from my SIL and FIL because I have a "fur baby" 🐕

Life of a teacher right now trying to survive the month of Mayhem: surviving on coffee to stay awake and focused during the day. Taking melatonin to go to sleep.

Good news: my husband is back to having a full-time gig, and we won't lose our health insurance at the end of the year.

The SAVE act is not just about voting rights. Imagine how much easier it would be to catch immigrants if citizenship was listed on your driver's license?

There are some articles in newspapers and radio interviews these days with Swedish doctors who speak poorly about doctors abroad and treatments abroad.
It is a sort of egotistic reflex to defend national shortcomings.
I haven't met this type of doctor, luckily, most are OK with trying abroad.

Very interesting if you only read the summary bullet points it makes it sound as if the treatment hasn't worked. If you listen to it tho, it clearly has worked. They also interview a Swedish Dr who is obviously pissed off about it

Spring Break is coming up. I'm exhausted. I went to bed before 9 last night and I forced myself out of bed to make coffee. So much to do to prep for Friday. I could sleep for days.

Seems like West Virginia is about to ban carcinogenic food dyes. I hope more states follow.

I get to leave work at 1 pm today because of a dentist appointment and I'm thrilled. I might even be home before 3 today.

A week ago I had my permanent retainer removed that my Swedish dentist said I would wear for the rest of my life. My American dentist has complained a lot about my Swedish dentist... For the first time in 20 years I get to feel all my teeth without metal in my mouth and suddenly flossing is "fun".

It's so nice when you hear colleagues talk about how good these cuts and savings are while I'm just over here knowing I'll soon lose my health insurance because of all of this...

So HR has made it official. Unless the FAA gets more funding my husband will be reduced to part-time and we will lose health insurance, life insurance, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Dealing with any American government agency such as immigration - Here is 10 pages of stuff to fill out plus clear instructions on how to fill it out.

Same but Swedish - Here is 2 pages you need to fill out but we won't tell you how. Good luck!

Yes, that is why it is probably better if people can use Global Entry as you for the most part do not need to interact with a CBP officer. But that is only an option for US citizens, green card holders and citizens of certain countries that the US has agreements with.

That's normal especially depending on what you declare. They also have random screening just like they do when you go through security.

Get Global Entry.

That's why it's important to disable facial recognition and fingerprint to open your phone. Get a passcode. Don't use your phone while in line. Keep it in your pocket.

Kvinnor får lida när feminister som Agnes Wold och Kajsa Ekis Ekman vänder sig till Donald Trump Lotta Ilona Häyrynen tvivlar på att snabba och starka atleter kommer tacka Trump och den konservativa feminismen när de genomgår invasiva läkarundersökningar i framtiden.

En rigid könsordning skadar både transpersoner och cis-kvinnor.

The movie Contagion came out in 2011 but feels like it could have been released past 2020. So many similarities with the covid pandemic.
