Yeah, it’s awful. My siblings, retired, spend a lot of time protesting - 1-2 times a week on average- calling their reps and senators, knocking on doors, etc. I’m proud of them at least.
I foresee some major ranting in The Hive today. I would rant myself but I’ll leave it to others #queenbee #nytspellingbee #spellingbee #nytbee www.nytimes.com/badges/games...
Okay! It’s gotta be Ethel Smyth!
Can I say who it is?
I’ll probably lose my Swedish citizenship for this but I say “meh” to cloudberries (or hjortron as they call them here in Sweden)
Act-Up still all too relevant, sadly. Sigh.
Chef’s kiss on putting these two photos together
I totally forgot about leek!
Why are the Scandinavian words for onion like… the Russian word for onion? I’m so confused!
That’s lush!
Love the sign! 💪
Happy IWD lady because you’re a lady, lady! Also please buy our stuff.
They will henceforth be delicious handbags forever for me
Trevlig helg du också
Teeny-tiny building!!! Next time I walk up Nybrogatan, I’m gonna look for this…
Ooh! Where is this exactly? My brothers live in Oak Park so I’m there on the regular…
Done!
Do your best to learn the language, but rest assured you’ll sound stupid sometimes. Don’t beat yourself up for not being better at it, for not learning faster. (I also avoid expat groups but that’s maybe not for everyone.)
They are delicious!
Love those late 19th-early to mid -20th century Spanish composers: Granados, de Falla, Albeniz, Mompou…
Yikes. The guy kinda looks like you-know-who, he’s even orangeish
They are! Gonna have one for dessert with the hubby after dinner this evening…
Happy Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras/Shrove Tuesday/Fettisdag!
Virtually everyone in Sweden is celebrating today in typical lowkey style with a cardamom bun filled with almond paste and whipped cream: a semla (just found out the root of the word is the same as that for semolina!)
Was thinking on my walk today about how this all goes back to Ronald Reagan, the evil started there…
Wait, you have a Swedish shark?

The winter aconite - vintergäck - is out too 🌼 … kinda scary tbh!
Yikes! What happened to Foison?
It’s a long story but basically my goddaughter told me if I was on TikTok I had to dance or lipsynch, so I chose opera and ended up making my costumes and occasional props out of paper because that’s what I had.
I have! But kinda stopped because I can’t stomach Tiktok after they thanked Trump, it just… rankles. Trying to figure out a new alt me…
