Writer & bookworm. Vegan, non-binary / genderfluid, neurospicy / autistic. Haunted by untold stories.

From Denmark but write mostly in English. I love books & writing, especially fantasy & SciFi. Currently working on a series of contemporary fantasy novels inspired by the folklore of Provence, which I hope to one day publish.

I also enjoy linguistics & languages, slowly teaching myself French while dabbling in Provençal, Persian & Korean.

When you haven't been exposed to advertising for a while and it's no longer normalised, it's quite jarring. Not because it's annoying or shit, rarely lacking any artistic merit, begging and pleading and lying for attention and complicity - that bit you remember.

But because the only way this crap exists at all is through force, ramming it through devices without permission or consent. An entire industry based on tracking and surveillance to target assault.

It's fucking despicable.

To hell with brutal honesty. I want kind honesty, compassionate honesty. Be honest with me but recognize that I am a human being, not a punching bag or an improvement project. People who brag about being "brutally honest" enjoy the brutality. Their honesty is their cover for being rude and smug.

As a Jew who knows her history very thoroughly, I recognise this ‘proposal’ very well. There is no daylight between this and the Warsaw Ghetto.

Israel outlines plans to pack Gaza's population into a closed border zone

Israeli media reports that the country’s defense minister has outlined plans to pack hundreds of thousands of Palestinians into a closed zone of the Gaza Strip along the border with Egypt. It appears to be the latest version of plans by the Israeli government to maintain lasting control over the territory and relocate much of its population of some 2 million. Critics say that would amount to forcible displacement in violation of international law because Israel’s offensive and blockade have made Gaza largely uninhabitable. Israeli officials say the aim is to separate the civilian population from Hamas, which still controls parts of Gaza and holds dozens of hostages abducted in the Oct. 7 attack that triggered the war 21 months ago.

Hvor må børnene lege? I mit villakvarter på Amager er der udbrudt en fejde om fællesarealerne

På de mange lange villaveje har fællesskabet svære vilkår, fordi der mangler naturlige mødesteder for børn og voksne. Når nogle villaejere så gør modstand mod legende børn på vejen, bliver problemet sat på spidsen

@sorenhave sikke en trist udvikling! Min mand og jeg synes det er så hyggeligt når vi kan høre børnene lege på vejen og se alle deres kridttegninger på fortovet.

Someone's kindness made me cry today.

My son's been attending a kids sewing class at a local fabric store.

The owner saw how much he loves it, and had offered to sell us a machine at a discount for him to use at home, but it was still out of reach for us financially. I told her we'd save up for it for Christmas.

Today she gave us that sewing machine free. She said she wanted him to be able to continue to sew at home.

Enabling his passion is such a priceless gift and I'm incredibly thankful.

Just looking at travel options. We could go to Edinburgh by train for £726.19 taking 7h 16m each way or we could fly for £227.96 taking 1h 20m. How are people supposed to choose the greener option with it's like this???
A book bar where you can slam a book shut on the bar after you're finished, shout, "Another!" and the barkeep will choose a new book from your TBR list based on what they think you will most enjoy in the moment like some kind of librarian sommelier. #Bookstodon #UnknownArtist
People can't tell me that it's not possible to make the world accessible for disabled people, after the whole world has been made accessible to cars.
