🚨 BankID under attack - right now.

Millions across Sweden are struggling to Swish, log in to their banks, or use any service that requires BankID - because of an ongoing DDoS cyberattack.

The attack started just after 8:30 PM and is still disrupting services. Over 10,000 error reports have already been logged. Now the service is unavailable and under maintenance.

📲 Swish? Not working. 🏦 Online banking? Spotty at best. 🧑‍💻 Government logins? Also affected.

BankID confirms no user data is at risk, but they still don’t know when the issue will be resolved.

With 8.6 million users depending on this ID system daily - this is a serious wake-up call.

🚨 Train chaos in West Sweden 🚨
 Thousands of commuters were stranded after copper thieves sabotaged rail lines near Gothenburg. Entire sections of the network were shut down for hours - some routes didn’t reopen until 4 AM the next day.⁠

Damaged infrastructure, canceled trains, overcrowded buses… and no, it wasn’t a glitch - it was intentional. 😳

Authorities call it sabotage and say investigations are ongoing. Meanwhile, passengers are left frustrated, late and tired of the growing list of train disruptions this year.⁠

🔴 Watch out SCAMS with Majblomman!

🌸 Majblomman is one of Sweden’s oldest and most beloved charity traditions - every spring, kids sell colorful pins to support children in vulnerable situations. The design changes every year, making them a cute collectible and a symbol of compassion 💚⁠

But this year, there’s a dark side: reports of scams are popping up. Some are selling old pins at inflated prices or using private Swish numbers, meaning your donation never reaches the charity.⁠

Here’s how to donate safely:⁠ ✅ Always use the official Swish QR code provided by the Majblomman organization. ❌ Never send money to personal numbers.⁠ ✅ You can also shop directly via majblomman.se ❌ Avoid giving cash - even if it looks legit.⁠

Sadly, there’s been little awareness from the organizers themselves - so please share this and help others avoid being tricked 🙏🏼

Let’s make sure every krona goes where it’s needed most 💐

🎉 SAVE THE IDIOM 🎉

Each week, I’m sharing an image that creatively interprets a popular Swedish idiom.

I’ll be posting a new idiom every Monday (due to Easter we’re late this time), so keep an eye out and test your knowledge of Swedish expressions each week. It’s all about having fun, learning a bit of Swedish culture, and maybe even impressing your friends with your idiom knowledge! 💭✨

Köpa grisen i säcken – translates literally to buy the pig in the sack. Figuratively, it means to buy something without knowing what it really is and therefore how valuable it is; to do something costly without knowing what you will gain from it.

Examples:
✅ Han köpte bilen osedd. Han köpte grisen i säcken. (He bought the car unseen. He bought a pig in a poke.)
✅ Fråga mer om jobbet. Köp inte grisen i säcken. (Ask more about the job. Don’t buy a pig in a poke.)
✅ Hotellet var dåligt. Vi köpte grisen i säcken online. (The hotel was bad. We bought a pig in a poke online.)

🔴 Why am I not recording in Swedish?

This question pops up sometimes in the comments or my DMs and there are two main reasons:

✅ My mission is to reach Internationals in Sweden - there are bigger chances to do so in English. While Swedes are more than welcome here 🫶 it’s easier for them to understand English than for newcomers or tourists to understand Swedish. And there are already plenty of Swedish-speaking sources 🥰

✅ Despite of living here for 4 years and learning Swedish even longer, even tho I feel pretty comfortable in my everyday life conversations or professional contacts with my Swedish-speaking clients, speaking Swedish in front of the camera still feels uncomfortable and a bit embarrassing so this was a huge step out of my comfort zone (at the same time it’s so much needed - I want to feel more self-confident in every situation).

My main goal for 2025 is to improve my Swedish, let’s call it my first step. Do I make mistakes? Of course. But we never stop learning. And let this be a message to all of you learning Swedish as well - the more you try, the better you become ❤️

Swedish Easter isn’t just a holiday. It’s a full-on food adventure featuring mysterious casseroles, bottomless bowls of candy, and your yearly reminder that “just a taste” never really means that. ⁠

🚨Göteborgs new favourite TikTok niche?

Greengrocers filming their fruit prices like influencers - and it’s working.

It all started with one shop offering 10 limes for 10 kr (and many more other deals). The video blew up, customers flooded in, and now others are jumping on the trend.

Regular price updates, quality checks, taste tests - all via TikTok.

It’s fun. It’s viral.
But could it also mean pressure on the big chains to finally drop their prices?

Maybe the market is back.
Maybe it just took a crate of lemons and a phone camera.

🌸 HERE YOU CAN FIND SPRING IN GÖTEBORG 🌸

It feels like I blinked and opened my eyes in different reality.
Göteborg is blooming at the moment and here are my favourite (and I think most beautiful) places to enjoy spring in the city.

🌸 Järntorget
🌸 Botaniska Trädgården
🌸 Seminarieparken

…and many others! Just take a walk around the city and enjoy cherry blossom, daffodils and a whole host of other stunning flowers 🥰
