    yes!
    you are right!
    we still have MANY #fascists in #Italy
    (too many)
    #Croats gave two, ... TWO! Croat #SS divisions to the #Nazis
    I don't know much about the #Finns (sorry)
    The #Swedes .. (to “Save” the World From the Jews)
    were FULL IN with the Nazis
    Nordland, Svenskarna, (with the Swiss)
    (last nation to lower the Nazis flag after the fall of Berlin)

    I hope with all my heart that #Americans will reject the '#MAGA culture' and go back to being ... Americans.

    We humans eat them as swedes in Australia.

    We have to as they provide some protection against irukandji jellyfish attack.*

    The jellyfish bit isn't true. We wear pantyhose for that.

    Our swedes are yellowish in the greengrocers. Our turnips are white.

    Now, do you all enjoy parsnips?

    "Lind, arrested at a rented house in Bangkok, had lived in #Thailand for ~13 years.. Swedish & Australian authorities requested Thailand's assistance in locating te suspects, believed to be key figures behind #darknet platforms. Te sites controlled >80% of te #European #online #drug market & facilitated shipments to #Australia. EU police earlier seized >1000kg of drugs linked to te network"

  4. These #Swedes #biked from #Carmel to #Marina on Sunday, October 13 and were heading back to Carmel when we met them in #SandCity. Their cheerfulness reflects the increased #endorphins and overall #joy of #biking—not so much the #infrastructure they experienced in sections of Carmel, #PebbleBeach and elsewhere.

  5. A quick toot in case any Swedes in the UK follow me or spot this: there's a #Lucia celebration outside Bristol on December 14th (so a mere day late, not bad!) if anyone is interested.

    I've been once before and while I can't go this time it's heartily recommended. It's pretty bilingual as there's a mix of Swedish and British people present. It's super cozy.

    Apologies for the Facebook link but: facebook.com/events/7188512137

    Believe me, a majority of us #Swedes are ashamed of our current minority government.

  7. @dikleyt Thank you. You have my permission to use the hashtags #Swedish, #Swede and #Swedes.

  8. Did you know that the first #German #adventure #novel tells us about a really #gross #punishment ?

    "Der Abenteurliche Simplicissimus" by von Grimmelshausen is a book in which the main character is a reluctant #soldier.

    He describes how he watched as a labourer is force-fed a vile concoction of liquid manure, which is called "Schwedentrunk" (drink of the #Swedes).

    This punishment often led to fatal lung infections & was employed by #Swedish soldiers during the Thirty Years' War.

  9. Do I know any crafty #Swedes on here yet? 🇸🇪 I've got these delightful #silicone #RubberStamps going spare if anyone wants them: lots of phrases in the bundle, I once got them from #Panduro in #Sweden and I'd like to pass them on to someone else. :)

    Happy to post anywhere in the world in exchange for P&P. 📮 🌍

    (I'm throwing in the rough little acrylic blocks for free, they were off-cuts from the museum mount makers once. ♻️ )

  10. CW: Food, tasty Swedish food!

    Belated #GladMidsommar and #HappyMidsummer from some #Swedes in #Carmarthen! 🇸🇪🍓🌼

    We celebrated Friday to Saturday as is customary but I forgot to post about it here. Put on a good spread for some new friends!

  11. Swedes, be as Swedish as Swedish can be, for today is the National Day of Sweden! 🇸🇪 #Sweden #Swede #Swedes #Swedish #SwedenForever

  12. CW: ⚠️Famine alert! ⚠️

    @fkamiah17 that’d be worthy of a diplomatic incident. Swedish ambassador ( a #Swede) recalled to Stockholm as #UK government recommends citizens embrace cannibalism in response to fresh food shortages. #turnip #neeps #Swedes

  13. I want to transition the #Theseus2000 Twitter account over to #Mastodon, but I'm not really sure which instance to open the account on. My own instance died at the hands of its hosting provider, and I'm not sure if personal project accounts are considered 'brand' accounts. There will actually be 2 accounts. 1 for my native English, and another for the #Swedes.

  14. Glad Lucia! Happy St Lucy's Day!

    On December 13th #Swedes are all about #Lucia so today we ate homemade saffron buns (lussekatter) and watched the "official" celebration via SVT Play.

    We were lucky enough to attend a live #luciafirande in #Bristol this past weekend and this is a lovely photo (one of many!) that Fox took (licensed CC BY-NC @Flamekebab) during the performance. 🕯️

  15. Did you know that during the 17th c., multiple #Swedes were sentence to death for having #sex with nature-spirits?

    One woman said she had children with a #Faerie king, with all the kids being taken by him.

    A man said a mountain-spirit took advantage of him after he fell asleep.

    Another was promised luck if he had sex with a water-spirit & not his wife.

    It was the latter's wife who brought the case to court.

    The man, Peder Jönsson, was the only confirmed person #executed for the #crime.

  16. For the first time in a very long time, cooked up some #stwnsh rwdan and it was fabulous comfort food. For the life of me - couldn’t actually remember what the English word for rwdins was - and had to check - #swedes - or #rutabaga even for those in North America.

  17. We love seeing #Swedes celebrate when an American "quack" doctor loses an election-- when much of the nonscience that rightfully makes @DrOz a "quack" were official #Swedish public health policies during #covid19. Policies which they still defend. #Trump/#Oz = #Tegnell. 🙃 twitter.com/aminamnzr/status/1
