There are Greenland sharks swimming around right now that are older than the Signing of the US Declaration of Independence.

this one's been gettin' a lotta play in my head lately

Afternoon

Yes I know the world might have problems, but the REAL tragedy* is that Uggi didn't get any ham this morning. *according to Uggi

About Greenland he says: "They have a choice. You can say yes and we will be very appreciative. Or you can say no and we will remember." Well, that is a weight lifted from one small island nation in the Northern-Atlantic that did not want to find itself in a war zone between Europe and the U.S.

I'm listening to Trump at Davos and he said the US stock market took a large dip because of Iceland. "Iceland has already cost us a lot of money". What is he talking about??

Mark Carney's speech is now only the second most acute analysis of where the world is at right now:

Afternoon

Ah we see your Blue Monday and raise you a Moo Blunday

“The report calls for a series of actions including … better water monitoring using AI” lmao of course it does

Canadian PM Mark Carney delivered a pretty incredible speech in Davos. It's a vision for a way forward for smaller nations, in a world where the U.S. can no longer be counted on as an ally. Watch it. Something tells me it might be one of those speeches that we'll read about in history books.

"WE WILL NEVER BE SILENCED" anti-trans campaigners shout, while appearing on the front page of every single newspaper and interviewed on all major news platforms in the country repeatedly for the past 10 years. Pretty sure you have the wrong definition of 'silenced', but okay.

Good morning

The Iceland Space Agency has a strangely busy logo. It fascinates me.

þetta er fréttaflutningurinn sem ég þarf á að halda 🙏

I wrote 2.800 words. Take that, universe.

I'm confused. When did they stop?

Call me pedantic, but if it's not being widely adopted I don't think you get to call it a "boom".

Good morning. The whole of Reykjavík is covered in a thin layer of ice and it is SLIPPERY.

I'm going to fucking lose it, this man was grown in a lab for me to support

Apparently there were pink Northern Lights yesterday and I missed them

ég hata þessa auglýsingu frá krabbameinsfélaginu um að konur geri miklu sársaukafyllri hluti en að fara í krabbameinsskoðun. þau hefðu getað lagað viðhorfið sitt, viðurkennt að þetta er sársaukafullt og gefið verkjalyf, uppfært úreltan tækjabúnað. en nei skulum frekar shame-a.

Good morning. The whole of Reykjavík is covered in a thin layer of ice and it is SLIPPERY.

Wow. This thread 👇

Sweet book shop haul today. @keithrosson.bsky.social @hildur.bsky.social @delilahsdawson.bsky.social

Behold the vision that usually greets me when I step out of the bathroom.

omg what’s that 👀

Nú er ég ekkert mikill preppari þannig, en ég ætla samt að ráðleggja ykkur, ef þið eigið mikilvæg gögn á amerískum síðum, eins og t.d. Dropbox, OneDrive o.þ.h. að kaupa harðan disk og ná í þetta allt og eiga afrit sem ekki er hægt að loka á aðgang að. Bara til vara.

I did it! I wrote 1.642 words today 😭 Tomorrow I'm going to write 2.000. Putting it here so someone can hold me accountable.

g’morning brooklyn

….a heated rivalry, you might say?

Behold the vision that usually greets me when I step out of the bathroom.

Oh no, the Americans are going to wake up.

This is, and I don’t say this lightly, insane.

Good morning

Evening

This is a really good book - love the way @hildur.bsky.social uses the pages and white space to help tell the story, how we find out enough but fill in the gaps ourselves. And the ending is 👌

Ooooh treats in the post this weekend!! Thank you very much @hildur.bsky.social, and a special thank you to Uggi for the customisation... excellent work! 😁

Daughter, to my husband: You have to tell me quickly, before I lose interest.

Sometimes I’ll be walking in downtown Reykjavík and I’ll think there’s a protest going on and then I’ll realise it’s just a very large group of tourists convening.

My short story collection that includes The Pill 💊 is on sale for $5! Support an independent press and also me, your favorite unemployed author.

you too can look like a bog man who was pulled out of a bog and left to dry and then put back in a different, shittier bog

Whoop! Looked what arrived @hildur.bsky.social - many thanks to you and your dog!

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Waiting for a friend

Dreamt last night that I wrote a hit song and everywhere I went I was asked/requested/forced to shout out the chorus for fans? The chorus? I wrote it down upon awakening. “I’M A GEOLOGIST IN A DISCORDANT THRONG!”

BREAKING: This dog is named Susan From Accounting

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social I think we need a nice queer art break tonight.

This week I'm picking up the novel I started writing in October and then had to lay aside until now. It's SO HARD to get back into, but yesterday I wrote 500 words and today I wrote 1.000 and on Monday I am going to write 1.500. Putting this here so someone can hold me accountable.
