🇵🇱 News NOT from Sweden today, but this deserves even more attention 🫶

Two days ago I recorded that Poland had raised 13 million złoty for the Cancer Fighters Foundation.

Now it is already over 123 million złoty, and by the time you read this, this number is probably outdated again.

Polish TikToker and influencer Piotr* “Łatwogang” Garkowski @latwogang has been running a 9-day charity livestream, and the whole country seems to have joined in.

People are donating, shaving their heads, getting tattoos, celebrities are appearing, and the stream has already beaten MrBeast’s livestream fundraising record.

And now?
Aftonbladet @aftonbladet wrote about it in Sweden 🇸🇪🇵🇱

Brawo Polska. Keep going. Good luck on this final day!

* I quoted Aftonbladet on that and haven’t even notice after following the stream nearly all night long. But leaving it here so maybe comments about it will make the video reach more people because it’s really something that deserves more attention ❤️

COMMENT “HF” TO GET LINK TO DISCOUNT 👇
Ad/affiliation for @hellofreshsverige

I’m testing HelloFresh and this is the first recipe we picked 👀

With my code you can get 20 meals from 44 SEK per portion, which is honestly such a good deal if you want to try it without committing long term.

If you don’t know how it works:
you choose your meals online, they send you pre-measured ingredients + step-by-step recipes, and you just cook at home 🍝

What I personally LOVE so far:
✅ nothing gets wasted (huge for me)
✅ recipes are super simple
✅ and somehow… it actually turned out really good 😅

This is an affiliate collaboration, so I may earn a small commission if you order through my link, at no extra cost to you 💛

👇 Literal translation below 🫶
🎷 You think you’re listening to a smooth, sophisticated Swedish jazz playlist... and then you read the lyrics 😭

First of all: I literally only found out about this absolute masterpiece because one of you mentioned it in the comments. Thank you so much for this, and PLEASE keep the unhinged Swedish song recommendations coming! 🤝

The contrast between the sultry, bluesy vibe of this track and what is actually being sung might be the most absurd thing I’ve experienced here so far. It’s “Varför är det så skönt…(att knulla backifrån)” by a Gothenburg artist named Mats Götherskjöld, from a fully produced 2009 album literally titled “From the side with one leg up” (Från sidan med ena benet upp). The Swedish dedication to the bit is unmatched. 🍷

In the video, I’m doing a singable English version, but for those of you trying to learn the language, here is the pure, unfiltered literal translation:

Why is it so nice to f*** from behind
And why is it so nice
I went to church to confess
And the priest asked, tell me, have you sinned
Yes I saw the ‘tussen’ and I saw the ‘stussen’
And the whole thing was without eye contact

And because surviving in Sweden means updating your cultural vocabulary, here is today’s homework:

☁️ Tussen: Literally means a “tuft” or “fluff” (like cotton or pet hair). Here, it’s a very old, almost comedic slang for the front bush.

🍑 Stussen: A slightly old-fashioned, almost clinical word for buttocks/rump.

👀 Utan ögonkontakt: “Without eye contact.” Delivering this dry, corporate-sounding phrase as the punchline to a sultry jazz song is peak Swedish deadpan humor.

Forget Michael Bublé. We have Michael Bublé at home 💅

*REUPLOAD* News NOT from Sweden… but I really want you to see this 🇵🇱🤍

For the past few days, Poland has been watching a @latwogang non-stop 9-day charity livestream… and it has already raised over 17 million PLN for children fighting cancer.

It all started from a song created by a young girl battling leukemia and a Polish artist @bedoes2115 … and turned into something huge.
Influencers, musicians, athletes, entire communities showing up.

Sometimes the internet likes to reduce influencers to
“free products”
“barter deals”
“doing nothing”

But then things like this happen and suddenly you see what online communities can actually do when they decide to care.

If you want to support, you can donate here (English version available):
👉 https://www.siepomaga.pl/en/latwogang

You can pay by card, so even if you’re outside Poland (for example using Revolut), it’s easy to contribute 🤍

I’m honestly so proud of this whole group and everyone involved.
This is the side of the internet I want more of.

🪑 One of IKEA’s most iconic furniture series is being phased out

After almost 25 years, parts of the MALM collection are slowly disappearing from stores worldwide.

👉 IKEA says it’s time for something new that better fits modern living and storage habits.

⚠️ The series has also been involved in serious safety cases, especially in the US, where tipping accidents led to recalls and large compensation payouts.

📦 The phase-out will continue through summer 2026. Some products will still remain.

I’m testing HelloFresh for the first time and I have to say… first impressions are actually really good 👀

Everything came nicely packed with ice packs, there’s a little recipe booklet inside, and I might have also added some cheesecakes to the order… plus a random Pepsi Max showed up as a bonus 😅

For this week we’ve got:
🐟 walnut-crusted cod with rosemary root vegetables & kohlrabi salad
🍝 prosciutto & mozzarella penne with tomatoes & baby spinach
🍗 quick chicken teriyaki with cucumber salad & Asian-style mayo

All under 30 minutes, which I appreciate.

I’ll be testing them over the next few days, so tell me: which one should I try first? 👀

If you want to try it yourself, there’s currently an offer:
🔥 20 meals for 44 SEK per portion
👉 Use my code: HF26SE0268
👉 Link in bio / here: https://www.filify.co/SHJwp

Quick note: it’s a subscription, so if you don’t want to continue, just cancel after your deliveries 🤍

🍟 Sweden’s worst-rated McDonald’s is about to disappear

A McDonald’s in Töcksfors, near the Norwegian border, is closing on May 1 after being ranked the worst in Sweden.

The owner says the reason is simple: fewer customers and a contract that is now ending.

But the restaurant had also been criticized for hygiene problems.
Inspectors reportedly found black growth on walls and in an ice machine, dirt on the floors, broken tiles, and damage in the ceiling.

The four permanent employees have been offered jobs in the owner’s other restaurants.

So yes, one of Sweden’s most talked-about McDonald’s locations is now shutting down for good.
