An open letter to Denmark from Minnesota • Minnesota Reformer Dear Denmark, It’s been a while. Cold and wet over there, huh? Same here, plus a fair bit of snow and lots of ICE. Just wanted to write you a quick note to tell you that we know how you feel. We’ve be...

I know. When "The Grey" hits Scandinavia, you feel it. To your core.

Oh, and this is a colour photo.

Yeah, what a year, huh? I guess I'll just celebrate the small things in life, and leave the news to those with the mental capacity to cope.

Today's pleasant surprise: Snow in Southern Denmark ❄️💙

Happy New Year! 🎉🎊⭐

It really is. I loved it there, and still miss it. Not only the nature, but also the climate. It is quite pleasant. Romania is underestimated as a travelling destination.

It doesn't have the wild beauty of the Carpathians, neither does it have the cleanliness and cold beauty of the Norwegian mountainscapes, but the quiet calmness of countryside Denmark has a beauty of its own.

I just have to say that I love your still life photos. They always stand out in the feed with their composition and perfect use of light and shadow.

Nå er vi alle terrorister Når sosialisme blir stemplet som terrorisme av verdens mektigste stat, er det på tide å minne om Rosa Luxemburgs ord: Valget står mellom barbari og sosialisme.

Nedsablinga av demokratiet ser ut til å gå like raskt som økonomien til en trad wife i møte med skilsmisse.

Nå som en av -ismene blir kriminalisert, og det *ikke* er fascismen, er debatten om sosialisme, liberalisme og fascisme langt på overtid, skriver jeg i dagens spalte i Dagsavisen

As a mother, seeing portraits of the Auschwitz children is horrible. I cannot believe how anyone can murder children in cold blood. Yet it is still done today. By a regime that should have known better. I weep for humanity.

He could have chosen to end global hunger.
