This image shows a row of sunflowers blooming unexpectedly in early October along a gray building wall in Oslo, Norway. The tall, bright yellow flowers stand out against the muted autumn colors of fallen leaves and overcast skies, their faces turned toward the weak seasonal light. Signs on the wall mark reserved parking spaces and utility access, grounding the scene in urban routine. Normally, this time of year would be edging toward snow, but unseasonably warm temperatures—likely linked to climate change—have coaxed these sunflowers into a rare second bloom. Their late resurrection feels both beautiful and eerie, a quiet reminder of how our changing climate disrupts even the most natural rhythms.

Second blooming in October

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

Amy var mest hyggelig lydkulisse til badstu i telt her i Oslo for min del, men jeg hører strømmen har gått på hytta i Ørland kommune (uff, frysen...) med avskåret lokalsamfunn, NRK-meldt vindrekord på landsnivå og jordskred rett ved. Håper vi fortsatt har tak når vi kommer oss ut dit 🤞🤞🤞

Trumps USA: Et land under Gud - Ekko - NRK Radio I USA blandes tro og politikk som aldri før. Kristennasjonalistene vil gjøre USA til et land gjennomsyret av Gud.

Bjørgaas sier selv at hun ikke har peiling på kristennasjonalismen i denne episoden av Ekko, om jeg forstår dette rett. Jeg er sjokkert over den manglende kvaliteten på norsk dekning av USA - her er det mye manglende kunnskap. Det er veldig bra du er høylytt om dette, fortsett gjerne med det...

Trumps USA: Et land under Gud - Ekko - NRK Radio I USA blandes tro og politikk som aldri før. Kristennasjonalistene vil gjøre USA til et land gjennomsyret av Gud.

Hvis jeg forstår dette riktig vet ikke NRKs USA-korrespondent og NRKs eksperter hva kristennasjonalismen i landet står for?! Hæh?! Dette er grunnleggende kulturkunnskap...?

Half an Okonomiyaki (Japanese cabbage pancakes) in a cast iron skillet. The other half very quickly disappeared, as if by magic, before a photo could be taken.

I never thought I'd go apeshit for cabbage season until I discovered okonomiyaki. It is now known in my house as okonomnomnom, and I whooped when cabbage went on sale. 😂 I will never get over this discovery, it is life changing.

Jeg vil også ha sånn, hvor får jeg sånn?! 🤩

I'm not sure whether it was a stroke of genious or not to have the Android assistant read this out loud to me. But we have now truly achieved Idiocracy. Djaysus. 😵 Idiocracy faschism, can I please get off this planet while it is still intact, pretty please?

This guy mirrors my feels about the US dicktatorship, generally and specifically. Le Sigh. (Academically speaking: I told you so like, years ago...)

Aber das Projekt Autofreie Stadt hilft da auch massiv... Die Norweger denken da doch teilweise sehr anders als die Deutschen. Kulturell hängen die nicht so an ihre Autos, glaube ich...

Tja, dass ist natürlich net jut. Ich beklager mich nicht über die bessere Luftqualität in Oslo, nur so dass das klar ist.

Naja. Aber nur, weil ökonomische Mittel bereitgestellt wurden - der norwegische Staat hat mächtig Geld ins Portemonnaie geschubst für jeden Bürger, der sich ein E-Auto kauft. Würde Merz für die Geldspende bereit sein?🤔 (Norwegen sponsert dabei Tesla sehr... Ist das gut? E-Auto: ja, Musk: eh, nee...)

This image shows the close-up view of an old, weathered metal doorway on a roundabout structure at the University of Oslo. Over time, the metal surface has been worn and polished—likely by countless hands cleaning—creating a stunning, iridescent sheen. The colors shift across the surface in a rainbow-like spectrum, with hues of green, purple, pink, and gold shimmering against the otherwise dull, industrial metal. The texture of the metal is still visible beneath the rainbow stains, revealing scratches, dents, and signs of age. The contrast between the vibrant, accidental colors and the worn, utilitarian structure transforms an everyday object into something unexpected and beautiful.

Washed until they found the rainbow

A Sibirian/ Neva Masquerade cat chilling under a wooden blanket.

Omg, yes! I just threw away two huge jars of the stuff that had amassed from His Floofness only wanting to be brushed by the window (which is way too far away from any available bin). There is so much floof! I'm sure Sibirians procreate by way of shedding, I comb off half a kitten every day 😅

Sweet! Thanks for sharing!

Leider der Fall auch auf der braun-rechten Ecke der christlichen Partei und die konservativen Parteien hier in Norwegen. Ich mache mir Sorgen um den Zustand international, aber besonders akut in USA...

Trump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

Tja. Man kann's kaum glauben. Andere Minoritäten geht es auch nicht besser:

I accidentally started a new photo collection. It's a photo of each and every single burn and bruise I've gotten from #poledancing, because I can't always inspect them myself due to angle. I'm now realising just how many there are. 😅 #Ichosethis #notamasochist #dancelife #omg #thisismylifenow

Your cat is super cute! But every time I see your cat's name, my mind gets really confused, because Narvik is a tiny city in Northern Norway, and my mind has a really hard time consolidating that with the cat... "Huh? The city did what now? When did they... Oh, it's the cat again..." 😄😅

Why I don't buy bread anymore...

Hønselovisas hus stands where the river bends, a relic of Oslo’s working-class past. Behind it, the chimney of industry looms—two ghosts in one frame: the home that housed the hands, and the stack that smoked above them. The leaves fall like notes from an old song, covering the ground in gold and rust. (Just alt: Hønselovisas hus, a working-class home by Akerselva, with the chimney of an old factory in the distance. The river used to power the mills; now it carries autumn leaves—and the weight of history.)

Autumn leaves

Omg that is just stuck in my head now, thanks a bunch 😵😣 the safety trans, djeez

I think it's honestly easier for a lot of us to go "feminine guy-ish" because of how people give you a really hard time if perceived as "trying too hard". It's kinda the opposite of how cis guys can worry about appearing "too soft", the rigid enforcement of masculinity is brutal nowadays. /transmasc

Det er jo bare "bla bla bla"... Det fremkommer at de vet for lite om dette, og derfor avgir et innholdstomt svar. Dette var triste greier, ass.(Og når Riksen har monopol, er de også faglig instans når det gjelder klagebehandling, noe som egentlig ikke kan være lovlig når de blir klagd på...)

Gotta love the #neurodiverse #hyperfocus cycle:
Me for weeks on end: *ignoring Important Demanding Task* lalalala, nothing to see here
Me a week before deadline: Oh, look, it's a week now, lalalala
Some random time me: well, I could just install this useful software and do it tomorrow
5 hrs later:

Verstehe dass Problem nicht, ich war gerade im Fjord schwimmen, ist doch gar nicht kalt - LG aus Oslo 😉😃😃

Jammenjammenjammen. Men mister jo ikke bare en granat... På Bislett?! HVAFAN?!😳😬
