Det finns de som tatuerar in fräknar. Och så finns det vi som får säsongsbaserade såna. Fröken är inte så nöjd över fräknar som just i år vägrar låta sig döljas trots foundation. Jag vill ju helst vara jämn och slät som en Gouda-ost i hyn. Men fick till ett lurigt leende i alla fall.

Joseph Roth till Stefan Zweig, 30 januari 1933:

Disrespectful to Greenlanders not to wear a suit.

So when I went out to celebrate my latest booked author visit yesterday with the usual cava, of course he should join.
Here's to Katarina Wennstam. 🥂
And to those who, in a world full of daft Balrogs destroying the world one stupidity at a time, just restores one's faith in humanity for a while.

He reminds me a little of my dad who is a retired postman. Tall, helpful and kind enough to do the little extra things even if he doesn't have to. And if one points it out, he just humbly brushes it off even though he's visibly moved.

The library has access to a plethora of postmen who deliver our stuff (mostly loads of books but also other things) between the libraries. However, in this bunch there are a couple of postguys who we see on a more regular basis and sometimes chat with. One of them is Tony. ...

Several people have stopped me to read my old T-shirt print thoughout the years. It says "Life is too short to wear boring clothes." I take it more as an order than a recommendation, and I have been more than enough reminded that life is too short lately. So this was a proper outfit to work.

Well. Bye.

I really, really hope that people in the US and the rest of the world can keep their eyes on the right ball this time. The ball being what the Mumps (Musk + Trump) constantly will try to distract the public from with dumbfuckery stunts like this one.

Trump to EU and Canada: YOU get a tariff! And YOU get a tariff! EVERYONE gets a tariff!!!
Denmark will sell Greenland to us!!!!

The US to Sweden and Denmark now: Egg situation critical. Plz send eggs.

Sweden and Denmark:

In all this darkness of corruption, shameless incompetence and self serving spinelessness, there are still true leaders around with the amount of balls that these cockwombles can only dream of. True leaders with a spine who will not bow to bullies. The world must stand with them. #standwithukraine

Oh I would never 😏😇

So. USA. How are normal things going?
Food and housing prices?
Economy in general?
Gas and fuel prices?
Health care?
Job market?
Democracy?
You know, everything that defines a normal civilisation and not some sci-fi shittyverse in a couple of deranged brains who should be fired.

Somehow, somewhere, I think Jared Diamond would want to weigh in on this.

Librarians and Booksellers: It's time once again to move the Philip K. Dick from Science Fiction to Nonfiction.

Oh, you can't really help your own people with the housing crisis?
Toss a TRUMP CRYPTOCURRENCY ball! Now everyone talks and writes about this.

And how about the unemployment and work situation?
Toss a MASS DEPORTATION ball! Now everyone talks and writes about it.

Don't let them run the focus.

Oh, they won't be able fix the economy well enough? The Mumps toss an INVADE GREENLAND-ball.
Now everyone talks and writes about Greenland.

Oh, gas and food prices won't go down?
The Mumps toss this kind of crap during the inauguration. Now everyone talks and writes about it.

I really, really hope that people in the US and the rest of the world can keep their eyes on the right ball this time. The ball being what the Mumps (Musk + Trump) constantly will try to distract the public from with dumbfuckery stunts like this one.
