"It's not nazism until concentration camps!"
A) we HAVE concentration camps
B) the Nazi PARTY existed before they built a single camp; I assure you, they were still, self-identifying fascists, before Auschwitz happened. Your history books lied to you because if you understand what fascism is and how it happened you'd have been turning on your own leaders a long, long time before now.
"Pope Francis, who has already gifted enough so-called 'fragments from Christ’s cross' to construct at least 430 crosses and a barn to store them in, has confirmed that the fragments, like Christ's true cross, are made from genuine Roman-era chipboard..."

The Teenager is an axolotl fan, so we got them a plushie as a good vibes gift for exams.
It's an absolute cutie, and has been dubbed the Emotional Support Axolotl, which made me chuckle.

For anyone keeping a secret mobile phone hidden from an abusive partner: UK Gov are testing an alert system tomorrow (Sunday 23 April) at 3:00 PM. Make sure it’s off or on airplane mode or opt out to keep it hidden. Expand post for instructions.
If anyone has a secret mobile phone hidden from an abusive partner, remember to switch off or put in airplane mode etc as described below, or the phone will be activated with the loud alert during the afternoon tomorrow (Sunday 23 April) at 3:00 PM.
Please share this to help keep others safe
The alert will say:
“This is a test of Emergency Alerts, a new UK government service that will warn you if there’s a life-threatening emergency nearby.
In an actual emergency, follow the instructions in the alert to keep yourself and others safe.
Visit gov.uk/alerts for more information.
This is a test. You do not need to take any action.”
Mobile phone masts in the surrounding area will broadcast an alert. Every compatible mobile phone or tablet in range of a mast will receive the alert.
Your mobile phone or tablet does not have to be connected to mobile data or wifi to get alerts.
You can opt out of emergency alerts, but the government advises you should keep them switched on for your own safety.
To opt out:
Search your settings for ‘emergency alerts’.
Turn off ‘severe alerts’ and ‘extreme alerts’.
If you still get alerts, contact your device manufacturer for help.

This from @mmasnick is so spot on:
“your reputation when you refuse to moderate is not ‘the grand enabler of free speech.’ Because it’s the internet itself that is the grand enabler of free speech. When you’re a private centralized company and you don’t deal with hateful content on your site, you’re the Nazi bar.”
