A thread of how to say “nobody asked you” from around the world, starting with this one…
A Lithuanian way of telling someone to mind their own business is ne tavo kiaulės, ne tavo pupos. It means “not your pigs, not your beans.”

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

The regime has unleashed its goons on anyone with brown or black skin. It's morally repugnant, un-American and must end.

Small joy: figuring out the tubular bind off so I can read my work. 1x1 rib. Knits are purled on and #knit off. Purls are knit on and purled off. I was constantly getting lost on the steps doing the hem. I'm much more confident and even on the first cuff

These were people already approved to be naturalized, yet they were stopped solely because of their countries of origin. MAGA keeps saying, “If they wanted to be in this country, they should have done it the right way.” Well, they did. And the administration still blocked them. Cruelty is the point.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

In 1906, Finland became the first European country to grant women the right to vote & run for office. The first 19 women in the Finnish parliament, the Eduskunta, were elected in 1907. #suffrage
It's Independence Day in #Finland, adopting the Declaration of Independence from Russia #OTD in 1917.
