So much talk along the lines "on Bluesky we do this, but we don't do that". I think everyone is free to do their thing, so I wanted to share how I use this app.

I vår kommer jag (tillsammans med min vän Olle Linge) äntligen släppa vårt berättarspel "Nostalgia" där man skryter om sina forna stordåd. Det har varit en lång resa, men jisses vad bra det känns att vara på upploppet! :D

I think today is an okay day to brag a little bit. I'm getting a medal, you see. Because I'm contributing to the Swedish-languaged culture of Finland. You'll find my name in the list at the end of the article. yle.fi/a/7-10087554

After two intense weeks, I have gone into complete hibernation today. Sweatpants, minimal movement, minimal interaction with people and the world. I wish I could stay like this forever but someone’s working Sunday tomorrow.

Can't remember who it was but one of you scolded me recently for never having heard Carole King's Tapestry in full. Today I gave it a focused listen and just have to join the chorus: why the heck not earlier?
