A moment of silence for the time Finland attempted to become a monarchy in 1918 but then decided to be a Republic. Never even got a pointless and overly lavish ceremony, the Finns...

Haha yeah! It’s cool then, no worries.

I’m autistic and I infodump a lot. Apparently, as they were putting me under and as I woke up post-op, I wouldn’t stop talking about Scandinavia. I’m super interested in Scandinavia and I had come back from an Iceland/Sweden trip the day before.

You do realise when you see the same thing over and over it can be hard to restrain yourself as rigidly? I apologise for jumping at it, but as someone who also has a rather complex and inaccessible heritage that is totally inaccessible because of colonisation (I feel too white to pursue anything beyond some basic…

I like how you say native people and their culture. Tell me again about these natives and their one homogenous culture.

God, she seems so fun. It’s a real pity her cousin has so much blood on her hands (seriously, fuck her), but Melissa’s presence on earth makes me feel at least a bit better.

Okay, did sad face guy put in a ): or did he actually write sad face as its own little clause. This is important because I want to know how much I should hate him - a lot, or a LOT

Birthday WEEK I do not get, though.

I’m not even 25 yet, but I tend to make a big deal of mine. Then again, I grew up with an abusive mother who always stole my spotlight, and due to multiple complications that arise from being brought up by a really poisonous narcissist, thought I would kill myself before age 20. Any birthday is a sign of another year…

Oh my god! My German oral exam was the same, but my prof kind of laughed it off because I mixed it up with Swedish, which is similar, if you squint. Well, same language family.

I’m autistic, and I have a lot of texture issues. Feel free to ask any questions about it if you want to know! (Oh just saw your other reply, ignore me!)

You’re lucky to be so strong. I tried to commit suicide a few weeks ago because a big power trip is happening at my school. I don’t know how much longer I can handle this. I’ve gotten help and the situation is being dealt with, but I’m scared that it’s being drawn out and all. It doesn’t help that I’m autistic,…

Awwww! I want a Tove tattoo really bad. She's probably my favourite author. I love how she combines these deep stories with very accessible language.

yesssss! Tove Jansson is slowly becoming the main focus of my Lit/Finnish double major. Have you read any of her work for adults? Absolutely brilliant.

This is the best stuff I've ever used, and I swear by it. It's completely oil based, so it's really good for winter - no water to evaporate. The downside is that I've never seen it outside of Sweden, so I have my own personal supply that I replenish every time I'm there. The brand from apoteket is the best stuff -…

My Fair Lady?

I would love ABBA stamps, but the fact that they've been on two in Sweden already kind of makes it difficult for them to be on many more, I think. Here are pictures of the other two! One is just of ABBA, the other is a youth culture stamp (as indicated by the swedish word ungdomskultur, which literally means youth…

tiny correction, but swedish site DE is actually swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter.

oh my god the autism speaks part. Please, can people stop giving them money? They are a bad charity and autistics consistently prove that they are more than capable of speaking for themselves. ASAN is a far better choice.

Actually, at Toronto Pride, you could buy popsicles specifically shaped like penises. I got one, and it was delicious. However, it didn't 'pop' in my mouth. I feel ripped off.
