I know exactly zero people are interested, but I have obsessively been playing Crossplay the last week or so and I just scored 92 with my first word in a game and 93 for a word late IN THE SAME GAME.
Näin on!!
Well well. New work week. Any tips on how to kickstart it??
Men du milde!
Today I visited my local library at the same time as a class of grade schoolers. Overheard a kid asking the teacher: Are we going to be reading a lot?
Teacher: Yes.
Kid: Yay!
THIS MADE MY DAY!!
Vad roligt att höra! ❤️
#Anaché, my YA fantasy which was first published in 2012, will be out in paperback in Swedish this fall! The novel is set in the same universe as my Red Abbey Chronicles, but is a standalone. And here’s the new cover by Sanna Mander! I love, love, love it!
Today the IG of the biggest newspaper in Finland published a video with an interviewee who used the curse-word ”horses cunt”. Unbleeped and uncensored (it appears in the article too).
I love this country.
I thought you meant do we personally have too many mannerisms! Having friends act them out felt … harsh.
Swimming, reading, playing board and card games. And yes, lots of cooking…
I have a wise mentor who just messaged me and suggested we meet up for a session in August, because she had an ”itch” that it might be necessary.
She’s a WITCH, I tells ya. I have spent the past month (ok, I’ll admit it, monthS) thinking I can’t write anymore and it’s all pointless.
The actual public service chatgpt provides is in demonstrating the effect of never hearing the word no on the human psyche, it has made billionaire brain pudding a condition accessible to everyone irrespective of net worth
"Hard times are coming, when we will be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies, to other ways of being. And even imagine some real grounds for hope."
― Ursula K. Le Guin, 2014
Me, after finishing a lunch of creamy chanterelle sauce and Parmesan with spaghetti, and a piece of mud cake for dessert: ”It’s difficult to keep up my healthy lifestyle in summer.”
My 14-y-o: You’re keeping up your happy lifestyle.
Here’s to more happy lifestyles!
Det är obegripligt - men jag har helt slutat försöka förstå hur SFP fungerar under denna regeringsperiod.
The guardian of the island
I was a guest at Jurmo literary festival, a small-scale celebration of books in one of the most special places in Finland. Thank you for having me, I hope to visit this incredible island again!
Nej, det tror jag inte. Det är som att det är svårt för folk att förstå att de flera gånger under sitt liv inte dött tack vare vacciner - egna och andras.
I can’t begin to express how happy this made me!
Mitä vittua (What the cunt, Finnish)
Kiitos! ❤️
My midsummer: burned home-made pizza, strawberries, Taskmaster and Lonkero. Oh yeah.
A clear calm lake reflecting a blue sky with fluffy blue clouds on a sunny day.
It’s a good thing to be excited by! Here’s some Finnish spring for you.
The teen was telling his (paternal) grandmother that he’s started reading Stephen King.
Gran: I’ve never read a horror novel. But I watch CNN and NBC every day.
