Autism@lemmy.world•Worried about Birthday - am I overreacting?English
2·5 days agoI’m older than you and your interests sound a lot more exciting than mine, lol. Nothing to be ashamed of. Typically I seem to base my self worth based on how much attention I get on my birthday and from who. This can backfire a lot. I have always done the same thing for my birthday - the main event is going to a very specific buffet for dinner. So last year we went to my little cousin’s birthday party (she was born within a few days of my birthday year before, her birthday party was on my birthday) which was very nice seeing family and feeling happy for her parents and their little one. Then heading out for the dinner after with my parents. Unfortunately it wasn’t going to be a good one anyway as my girlfriend couldn’t be there for legal reasons.
My advice to you would just to not be so hard on yourself if you don’t get everything done- sometimes you could go out of your birthday and relax the next day. I generally observe mine over a period of a few days. It makes things a lot less stressful.

UK Politics@feddit.uk•Lord Spiritual arrested on suspicion of sexual assaultEnglish
3·5 days agoThe archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell was aware of the allegations before Perumbalath’s enthronement, and was accused of bullying members of a committee to secure the appointment.
Separately, Cottrell has been criticised for praising David Tudor as a “Rolls Royce priest”, despite knowing about his history of sexual misconduct. Tudor has now received a lifetime ban from ministry for sexually abusing a 15 year old girl.
The archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, was rebuked by a tribunal last month for dismissing complaints against Cottrell relating to Tudor. The tribunal said her decision was “plainly wrong”.
Mullally has recently faced allegations of safeguarding breaches herself, but last month Stephen Cottrell decided she had no case to answer.
These people don’t care about Christ, The Faith, or The Church, but only their power and positions. If they don’t repent, on That Day it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah than for them.

31·9 days agoThe trial done by Cromwell wasn’t really legal. And Cromwell isn’t really the best example of democracy. It was basically a coup. It’s also legal for MPs to disclose classified information in parliament.
I think they probably would have asked the King or possibly the prime minister, especially because they entered his property to make the arrest. It would have been courtesy. Although the King stated a while ago he is co-operating, and even if he did say no, it would be an absolute PR disaster, so really he wouldn’t have had any choice… Like with most things as a consititional monarch.
It’s just the idea he likely was asked by the Police and he handed his brother over.
Although honestly I would have 100% done the same thing, whether I was a king or not.
EDIT: The King was not informed in advance of the arrest, the BBC understands

31·10 days agoFrom what I recall, they’d most likely have probably needed to ask The King for permission to do so, who would have handed him over.
