If you are evacuating TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR STUFF so that you have proof to present to your insurance company when you file your claims. If this feels gross, it's because it is, but that doesn't mean it's not real.

Sensible education choice in Finland. Sadly the UK got rid of the same strategy because its success wasn’t measured by exams.
While we’re banning books…
Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.
Be. Like. Finland.
