It took me 5 minutes. Someone could get years ❤️

Some time ago I told you about a charity livestream in Poland that also encouraged people to join the stem cell donor registry DKMS.
So I started wondering if Sweden has something similar.

Turns out it does 🇸🇪

It’s called Tobiasregistret, and registering was honestly much easier than I expected.

They send you a small kit, you do a simple cheek swab at home… and that’s it.

Most people in the registry will never actually be called to donate.

But for someone with leukemia or another serious blood disease, finding a matching donor can literally be the difference between life and death.

Especially if they have a rare genetic background.

I wrote a full article explaining:
🩸 how the system works in Sweden
🧬 what donation actually looks like
📦 how registration works step by step
❤️ and why more people joining really matters

💬 Comment DONATE and I’ll send you the article in DM ❤️

🚽 Malmö residents are being asked to flush less.

People in central Malmö are being asked to reduce wastewater for a few days while one of the city’s major sewage pipes is repaired.
That means avoiding washing machines, dishwashers, long showers and even not flushing after every toilet visit if possible.

The reason? During the repair work, wastewater will be released into Malmö canal for just over two days.

📅 The work is planned from May 5 at 19:00 to May 7 at 00:00.

VA Syd says every small effort counts.

📚 Ads in novels? It might actually happen.

Product placement has already taken over movies, TV, and podcasts
Now it could be the next step for books

👉 One Finnish author already sold space in his novel to fund it
👉 Some writers say it’s natural, products are already part of stories
👉 Others call it “beyond all reason” and want literature to stay separate

Experts say readers today might accept it more than before
But there’s still a big question: where’s the line between story and advertising?

Would you read a book like this? 👀

LikeSweden just went… outside and talked to real people 😭🎤🇸🇪

For the first time I took the mic to the streets in Gothenburg and asked people about their favourite installations from Cortègen.

If you’re new here: Cortègen is a huge student parade during Valborg (Walpurgis Night), where Chalmers students build creative, funny, and often slightly chaotic floats that comment on everything from politics to everyday life.

It’s basically:
🔥 spring celebration
🎓 student chaos
🚛 moving satire on wheels

Would you want to see more street interviews like this? 👀

This is what I love about these kinds of events 🧀🤍🇸🇪

We stopped by one of the cheese stands at the International Food Festival @ifoodfestival in Bäckebol and it turned into a full mini masterclass.

The owner @la_rustika_sweden just took the mic and ran with it, explaining everything from where different meats come from for salami, to the difference between Parmesan and Grana Padano… (and yes, he’s Italian, so you know it was serious 😄)

At some point I just accepted my role was:
🎤 hold the mic
👀 listen
🧀 learn

And honestly? Perfect arrangement.

This wasn’t sponsored, just genuinely one of those moments where the atmosphere is so good and the people are so passionate that you end up staying longer than planned… and leaving with cheese 🫶

PS Keep an eye also on Dutch cheese stand - we brought home amazing goudas too 🤩

Have you ever gone to “just look around” and left with way more than you planned? 👀

🚨 A Swedish parliament vote just sparked major controversy.

A proposal linked to stricter citizenship rules was rejected by just ONE vote: 147 to 146.

But here’s what’s causing backlash:
👉 Two MPs from Sweden Democrats voted – even though they were officially marked as absent under the “kvittning” system.
👉 That system is meant to keep things fair when politicians can’t attend.
👉 Their votes ended up deciding the outcome.

Opposition parties are now calling it:
❌ manipulation
❌ undemocratic
❌ “like cheating”

Several parties want the vote to be repeated.

And now the whole system behind these agreements is being questioned.

📌 This decision could affect around 100,000 people waiting for citizenship in Sweden.

💬 Comment SEND and I’ll share my article and podcast episode about these changes and how lack of transitional rules affect applicants AND Sweden as a country.
