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.

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.

If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is. Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

Yes, I've watched Heated Rivalry, and yes, I loved it too.

Good morning

Men's Health can't wait for Dead Weight!

Uggi wants you to know that he isn’t just a sweet, cuddly, ham-loving heartthrob. He’s also very fearsome.

Icelandic Ministry of Foreign affairs have asked the U.S. Embassy to clarify whether the incoming Ambassador really said this or not. There is currently around a 1.000 people who have signed a statement urging the government to reject Long as ambassador (the population of Iceland is 400.000).

Update: Long apologised and said he was just joking. 2.400 people have signed a plea for the government not to accept him as ambassador.

Surely some PhD candidate out there's already written a paper about how True Crime has parallels with fairytales, right? In that a lot of ppl partake in them as cautionary tales, instructional narratives they listen to on the outside chance they wind up in similar situations, literal or metaphorical

From the Icelandic news: Shortage of Single Women in Tálknafjörður Ragnar Þór Marinósson, local businessman, says there are many nice single men in Tálknafjörður who earn good money, but almost no single women.
