It takes real galaxy brains to mass cancel solar and wind projects and then start a pointless unpopular war that sends oil prices soaring.

If anyone is up for boosting, Bandcamp is holding a fundraiser for the Trans Continental Pipeline to help trans people escape from Kansas!

From my archives for #SCAPE day.

I got to travel to Iceland for the first time in 2021 right after vaccinations were available. The national parks were very empty. This is a fall morning in #Thingevellir National Park. #UNESCO world Heritage site.

A three panel meme, a man and boy sit on a bench.
Panel 1:
[Man] "When does spring start?"
Panel 2:
[Boy tearingfully] "I live in Iceland"
Panel 3:
[Man gives boy a tight hug as he cries on his shoulder]

Referendum on continuing EU accession talks slated for August 29 - RÚV.is The government approved the Foreign Minister’s parliamentary resolution on holding a referendum.

Iceland might be reconsidering exploring whether to join the EU or not.

I think all that shit with Greenland has a lot of people who were against it thinking that we should probably start to lean towards Europe rather than the US.

And sometimes you might THINK it’s coming here, when it maybe gets a little warm for a day or two. And then BAM. Jokes on you because it’s winter again.

That horrible time is upon us now, when we Icelanders are forced to watch spring starting to arrive in other countries but we still have about 3 months left of winter.

Nope. It’s sleeting outside.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

THE SHINING is a horror movie because it depicts a writer having to get a part-time job.
