Breaking my hiatus to bring everyone’s attention to the fact that Cornwall is now attempting to be officially recognised as a nation within the United Kingdom.

Kernow has its own language, culture, history and identity. The language was forcibly removed by the English until the last monolingual speaker died in 1777–her name was Dolly Pentreath. It has existed as a kingdom before England had ever existed. Historically, Cornwall has been a place exploited for minerals and resources and labour. Currently, it still is. There are now ghost towns where once thriving fishing villages stood (Mousehole, Pentreath’s home, was one of these). Cornwall is now a playground for second home owners who drive up house and rent prices and drive out permanent residents and workers. Local businesses go out of business and struggle to stay afloat when the influx of tourists come who only purchase from supermarkets, putting nothing into the local economy. There is a long, long and often very gruesome and bloody history behind this—leaders of rebellions executed all the way into 1715.

If you are in the UK, and sign the petition to get this to a debate in Parliament.

Can you spare 60 seconds to sign

for those who are not up to date, rahul gandhi, the leader of opposition in india held a press conference on thursday where he revealed voter fraud committed by the fascist ruling party, the bjp.

the congress analysed handwritten data from the election commission's website to discover discrepancies in it. keep in mind that india has the largest voter population in the world. they went through the data without using computers and discovered that multiple voter details were fake.

there were instances of around 60 people who gave a brewery as their address, one thousand people had the same apartment as their address, there people who were named as keyboard smashes, and people with the same names and same photos having different voter id cards in the same city, etc.

after this, the election commission denied the allegations and removed voter data from their website. a majority of media houses have not covered this issue despite its importance.

however, this proves that the genocidal government manipulated the elections to get into power. it proves that our current government is illegal and was not what we voted for!!! may this lead to the end of the hindu-supremacist bjp and lead to a better future for all of india!!!

Always make sure everyone in the group is acknowledged.

For example, say you run into some friends while you're out in public, but they have with them their roommate who you've barely met. In this case, don't just ignore the roommate in favor of only acknowledging and speaking to your friends, make sure you acknowledge and greet the roommate too, even if it's just a smile or even just a polite nod.

Humans are by our nature a communal species, and as a result tend to be pretty affected by feeling ignored or excluded. Even if you're not ignoring them on purpose, you just feel awkward acknowledging someone you barely know, try to consider how you might feel if you were totally brushed off and ignored by someone who is acknowledging everyone else but you.

Even if you personally don't think you'd personally be hurt by being brushed off by your roommates' friend, know that your feelings aren't universal and plenty of people would feel bad about feeling ignored, especially if they're someone who has a history of being excluded by their peers.

This doesn't apply to people you are trying to avoid because they make you feel uncomfortable or even unsafe, safety comes first before good manners. But if they're not someone who you think is a risk to your safety and/or someone who makes you uncomfortable, it won't hurt you to politely acknowledge them.

Es ergibt für mich immer mehr Sinn, dass Gockel ihren Tag schreiend beginnen.

Wenn du beim Hundespaziergang den abgestürzten Mond in einer Wiese findest...

und du dich entscheidest ihn mit nach Hause zu nehmen, um den Käse sinnvoll zu verwerten, ...

sich dann aber herausstellt, dass der Mond gar nicht aus Käse besteht, ...

du aber schließlich bemerkst, dass du Schnitzel aus ihm machen kannst...

und du deswegen die nächsten drei Tage nichts anderes als Mondschnitzel essen wirst, bis du genauso rund bist, wie es der Mond einst war.
