North Lancs, UK. Allotments, cocktails, being kind to each other.
Looking for some advice pls. My friend's phone broke today when I was visiting. It means I can't contact him now (I don't live v near). Will my spare Fairphone work with any SIM, or are Fairphones different to Samsung etc? I'm so ignorant about tech 😬 #Fairphone

Can you tell your reindeer from your caribou❔
Both are the same species, but they're miles apart!
🦌In North America, wild herds are known as caribou, while ‘reindeer’ only refers to domesticated animals.
🦌 While in Northern Europe & Siberia, they’re all known as reindeer - wild or domesticated!

Last week, the International Criminal Court sentenced Ali Kosheib, a former leader of Sudan’s “Janjaweed” militias, to 20 years in prison.
Kosheib’s case should bring renewed global attention to the need for justice across Sudan.
