For anyone getting excited over Hillerska being shut down by the school inspectorate, hold your glee. Lundsberg Skola is the Swedish boarding school Hillerska seems to based on. After years and years of warnings and fines re bullying and hazing, Lundsbergs was shut down by the school inspectorate on August 28, 2013.
It was supposed to stay shut down for a minimum of 6 months. Instead the school hired expensive lawyers, appealed, and were allowed to reopen on September 6, 2013. So it only took 9 days before they found a loophole. One can assume Hillerska will do likewise and everybody (except the third years) will be back in class in the second half of August when the new school year starts.
At Lundsbergs, the headmaster was fired and the entire board of governors resigned after the shut down. But they soon regrouped, hired a new headmaster, appointed new alumni and parents to the board, and debuted a shiny new anti-bullying policy. Whether it actually worked is unlikely. But the parents are mostly alumni themselves. They would’ve gone through the same brutal hazings and wouldn’t think they’d be such a big deal.
Here’s the Wikipedia page, scroll down to the Controversy section for the details on the abuse and bullying that the school was turning a blind eye to. The final investigation, the one that triggered the (temporary) shutdown, was when the younger boys were burned with hot irons by older boys at an initiation. One boy was burned so badly he needed to be hospitalized. The hospital called the local police, who called the school inspectorate. Note: that boy’s parents were not the ones to notify either the police or the school inspectorate.
Also scroll down to the Alumni section for a look at all the rich, influential and famous people (including multiple Swedish royals across many generations) who went there.

Does it matter if an international school is accredited?
There is a tendency among those working in international schools to assume that schools who have undergone an accreditation process are more credible than those who have not, but is this really the case? In this article, I will discuss the pros and cons.
International schools are becoming increasingly popular as more and more families seek a high-quality education for their children that is grounded in an international perspective. One important aspect of international schools is accreditation, which is a process through which an independent organization evaluates and certifies that a school meets certain standards of quality and performance.…

I found out many Polish people believe Poland was forced to make Commonwealth with Lithuania, and that Lithuania is to blame because "They would've saved us so much trouble if they won over moscow", and that Catholicism brought prosperity to backward Lithuania, and that Commonwealth was mutually beneficial for most of its time and not only in the beginning, and that Lithuania "used to do business with russia!!" while being OCCUPIED BY RUSSIA... oh my god. I can't imagine Lithuanians saying, "Poland would've saved us so much trouble if they won over nazi Germany🙄". I literally can't imagine even the most radical Lithuanians saying that. This is so unreasonably cruel. What the fuck.

To be perfectly honest, I found 3.06 a bit of a letdown. All Wilhelm’s problems won’t magically disappear just because he’s abdicating. And I found Kristina’s acquiescence deeply implausible. If someone has acted one way for 17 episodes, it’s tough to believe they’re magically a reformed character in the eighteenth episode.
There were a lot of things I really liked about the episode, don’t get me wrong. But for me, the entire third season didn’t hang together the way the first two seasons did. This last episode felt like such an abrupt tonal transition from the darkness of 3.01 through 3.05.
I loved that the boys (and Sara and Felice) got a happy ending. But I was hoping for….more. This ending didn’t feel entirely earned to me. The first 5 episodes of the season dealt with the downward spiral so well, and then they tried to abruptly bring everything back up again in a single episode.
Apologies if I’m going against the general zeitgeist here. But at this point I’m simultaneously relieved my four faves all got a happy ending, and feeling let down. Because they patched everything up in the space of an hour, and it was a rush.
That said, there were things I thought were spot on. Sara and Felice were note perfect. Nils and Vincent being dismayed about August’s promotion to working royal was great. And Stella and Fredrika being sapphic, but still being classist, snobby bitches. Being queer doesn’t automatically turn someone into a nice person.
But in terms of the central pairing, I’m feeling a bit let down. Like they didn’t quite earn their happy ending and I’m not quite sure it’ll really stick in the long term.

im really glad to know people really enjoyed the chapter of phantom organ so far it took me a while to make, all the ideas for the next chapter are in my head but im just super inundated with school work/uni appliactions/trying to find a job or make money, but that isnt to say that its not on my mind all the time! the next chapter will include a foil for genesis itself, a titan like robot thats similar in stature and functions with cultivated organs for maximum self sustainability traversing the cosmos to put off the great threat to earth that looms in the not so far distance - created by two punk scientists working together that impliment parts of themselves within this sizeable mechanical homunculus. maybe even genesis will meet this foe..... and who knows what will proliferate.....

Hurricane Ian is crazy,
I study in a University that just 20ish mins from the heart of Orlando, thankfully I left the area before the hurricane fully hit central Florida to go back home.
But I live in Miami Fl, and even then while I was here the power still went out a few times (since I live about 7ish min drive from the ocean).
Please donate relief funds if possible, as the Hurricane was devastating to a lot of areas in Florida.
