Why Easyjet wants it to be all about you

Sat, 29 Oct 2022 10:23:54 +0100

Why Easyjet wants it to be all about you:

Easyjet have used their press announcement to shape the debate and exclude that obvious solution. Instead, they use smaller actions to push environmental action back towards the consumer, while normalising flying on holiday. For the sake of their business model, the fundamental consumer habit must go unchallenged – so tell us about what you do for the environment when you fly on holiday.

The Great Pause

The Great Pause:

“This is a time to ask important questions – what is important to us when our very lives are under threat? What have we found that actually, we can live without? Where have we found meaning, and connection? What do we realise we have taken for granted and what can live without? What do we need our economy to deliver so that we can all live meaningful and fulfilling lives?"What do you think?

So, today is the first day after #Easter. Normally we’d be spending most of the next 7 weeks or so in Easter season. But I’m going to be observing a #LongLent until we can celebrate Easter in bodily-person together.
Join me?

Yet a great way to make the point!

We need to recalibrate our minds and habits to move through our daily lives and the places we live, work and shop. Our everyday has become strange to us and more uncertain and barren:
What is it that we seek?
We seek God’s way in the wilderness.
Let’s seek with all our deciding
Amen. God be our wisdom.

While this video is from Sweden, Norway also celebrates St. Lucia (a very early Christian martyr, who was killed in 304) in a very similar way to Sweden. Schools close around noon on the 13th of December to give families time to prepare for the celebration.

This video is very beautiful, I just had to share it.

Jordi Cuixart sentenced to 9 years for exercising fundamental rights

This is not just. It is a smirch on Spain’s honour.

That also goes for using ß as an aesthetic B.

On my old server, there was a character named ßillyßadass.

This never failed to make me laugh, because that letter is not pronounced like B. It is a sharp S.

That guy named himself SsillySsadass.

Also to people who you Σ as an aesthetic E

that’s an S too, Σo maybe check next time

oh boy

Д as an aesthetic A? Дon’t be a дumbass.

И as an aesthetic N? don’t be sillи.

П as another aesthetic N? stoп it.

У as an aesthetic Y? ty bad.

Ш or Щ as an aesthetic W? nope. it’s “sh” and “shch”!

Я as an aesthetic R? surprise! it’s “ya”.

ah yes, that classic horror film SNYEYAPOVUL DIAYAIES

This is pronounced Stargoat.

Hello Muddah, hello Á é í ó ú .
Here I am at Camp Granada.
Camp is very entertaining.
And they say we’ll have some fun if it stops raining.

That’s the Camp Granada song, sung with an Irish accent.

THE Irish accent…

…which is called a fada…
