Have had good results with cherry tomatoes this years and that’s despite me planting mine way too late in the season and on a total whim. I keep mine in a pot outside. I live in Denmark, so it’s a bit of a different climate to yours, but I think tomatoes are pretty easy to grow in many parts of the world :D

They are still green and I don’t know if they will turn red before the temperatures decline into single digits, but considering how much of a yolo decision this was, to just sow them because I felt sorry for myself and wanted to see something grow, it’s pretty remarkable how many tomatoes it ended up producing. They are THIRSTY, though!

lyder spændende! Jeg smider den lige på lyttelisten! Tak for anbefalingen!

Jeg faldt over en lille dokumentar om en mand, der kun har 7 sekunders hukommelse pga. en virus, der smadrede hans hjerne tilbage i 80erne. Jeg vil gerne dele den med jer, for den gjorde et meget stort indtryk på mig. Ikke så meget pga. hans tilstand, men pga. den kærlighed hans familie har til ham og han har til dem på trods af, at han ikke har set dem før, godt ved hvem de er, men ikke ved hvem de er på samme tid.

Hav evt. nogle lommetørklæder klar, for det er virkelig, virkelig barskt og smukt og sørgeligt. Jeg blev i hvert fald ret ked af det mens jeg så den. Manden selv, Clive Wearing, ytrer meget poetiske beskrivelser af hans oplevelse af livet: “Det er som at være død. Ingen tanker, ingen drømme.”

Til spørgsmålet “hvad er hjem?” svarer ham: “Hjem er i går.”

Hun er så vild! Man kan godt mærke når man læser/lytter til hendes bøger, at hun voksede op i en antroprolog-familie. Tror jeg tilføjer The Dispossessed til listen af bøger, jeg gerne vil lytte til <3

Recently watched “Hjem” or Home as it would be called in English. It’s a Danish movie about an immigrant family from Joguslavia and how their search for a brighter future in Denmark became a personal nightmare. It’s semi biographical and based on experiences the director herself had as a little kid, moving to Denmark with her parents. It’s okay. It is about important issues, but fails in a few areas because it wants to do too many things and ends up stumbling over itself.

I really wish they would stop the prequel shit in this franchise. They aren’t good at it. The president Snow prequel was genuinely terrible. Both the movie and the book sucked and made no sense. They cheapened the original trilogy.

And I know people love to hate on the hunger games, but I think the original books and movies were solid and tackled some very relevant issues that we are increasingly dealing with today. And sure it has similarities with Battle Royale, but Battle Royale mostly focuses on the game itself and doesn’t explore the wider society and how the people at the top end up using a kid to manipulate the masses in order to either maintain power or seize it. That’s what I like about the hunger games. It explores all the consequences of an image focused society and that traumatize and retraumatize Katniss over and over and over again in order to further their causes. It isn’t until the end of the final book that she sees through it and takes matters into her own hands in order to stop a repeat of the regime she’s lived under her whole life.

I also like the ways it comments on ptsd, on the corruption and torture of the soul and how monsters are sometimes made.

It’s not a perfect, flawless franchise, but it deserves so much more respect than what it is given. The media angle and the way the franchise systematically criticises the inhumanity of media is brilliant. Especially since the books were written for kids and teens in an attempt to make them think critically about the shit they are shown on tv/online.

My silver spoon. Got mine when I was baptized as a baby.
Contrary to the stereotype, I did not grow up rich and privileged.

Have used it as any other utensil my whole life. It’s a nice sized spoon. Not too big, not too small. Only downside to it, is that silver absorbs the temperatures of whatever food or beverage you stick it into, so if it’s really hot soup, prepare to get burned and if it’s icecream, it will be almost frosty to the touch. It’s not the prettiest sight, since I don’t bother polishing it. To me it has the same value as my childhood pair of scissors, that I got in kindergarten and still use today because they are still sharp. Shit was made to last back in the day. Even my teddy bear, which was once stolen by a classmate, who did his best to rip his head off - and failed - is solid. His seams are not giving up despite pushing 40 years on this planet. I genuinely don’t know what he’s made of, because that bear has been through ALOT and he still looks super well preserved, which is something most people in my life have commented on, when they have seen him on my bookshelf.

Det er virkelig et herligt citat <3

Jeg synes også at mange af sommerfuglenes navne er poetiske uden lige! Sørgekåben er nok min favorit, selvom nældens takvinge også er pænt hardcore! Og så er den også ikonisk i sit udseende.<3

Incendies by Denis Villeneuve. I know he’s become a pretty big and successful director after he did Blade Runner and Dune, but Incendies is his best movie and an absolutely crazy ride. Twist after twist after twist until finally, you arrive at the final twist and you are not prepared. At all.

BRUH

Sikke en tekst O,o

Og her gik jeg og troede at Lille Per var spicy med sin Umbaba-sang.

Tillykke!! Det er da super velfortjent xD håber at du/I vinder!

Vi har plantet flere blomster i haven og det er så rart at se på. Vi går efter blomster som insekterne sidder i nede i plantecentrene og Kæreste tjekker om de er vinterhårdføre og hvis de er, så kommer de med hjem.

Af en eller anden grund er insekterne vilde med lilla blomster. Næsten alle dem vi har snuppet med hjem er lilla. Nogle få er pink og en enkelt er gul.

Jeg har tænkt mig på den lange bane at sætte mig meget mere ind i hvilke planter er vigtige for insekterne at have for det handler jo ikke altsammen om nektar. Nogle gange handler det om hvilke planter, der er gode at lægge æg i. Jeg vil fx gerne lokke ensianblåfuglen hjem til os også selvom den teknisk set ikke hører til i vores område. Den har brug for en helt særlig plante, klokkeensianen, til at lægge æg i og der skal være myretuer i nærheden (hvilket vi har masser af) for larven forklæder sig nemlig som en myrelarve og udskiller samme lugt og derfor tror myrene at den tilhører dem og tager den med hjem til boet, hvor de feder den op indtil den bliver til en sommerfugl og hastigt må undslippe boet inden myrerne æder den. Jeg kommer sgu nok ikke til at lykkes med den plan, hvis jeg skal være ærlig, men man kan jo prøve at få klokkeensianen til at gro i haven og hvis ikke det tiltrækker ensianblåfuglen, så kan den i det mindste være til glæde og gavn for nogle af de andre insekter.

Men jeg skal som sagt lige have sat mig ind i hvilke planter de forskellige sommerfugle og bier har brug for, så vi ikke kun planter de ting insekterne ser ud til at kunne lide at suge nektar fra, men også de planter de hsr brug for, for at overleve!

Vi har også købt tre store plakater med Danmarks bier, sommerfugle og natsværmere! 🤭 nu skal vi bare have sat dem i ramme og så håber jeg at vi kan få dem op at hænge inde i stuen så man hurtigt kan smutte hen og identificere hvilken bi, sommerfugl eller natsværmer man har fået øje på derude! Jeg gad godt tiltrække nogle af vores mere usædvanlige natsværmere. Vi har jo nogle stykker herude og de sidder også i planterne både dag og nat! Og selvom de ikke altid er de mest spændende at kigge på, så har de jo også navne og behov, som er værd at sætte sig lidt ind i.

Mine tomatplanter sætter den ene tomat efter den anden. Jeg har ikke længere tal på hvor mange der er. Ærterne er begyndt at blomstre. Jeg skullet have plantet dem tidligere, men fuck it. Selv hvis vi ikke når at få ærter ud af dem i år, så er planten i sig selv stadig en skønhed uden lige og jeg elsker at kigge på den.

Jeg kommer til at leve for somrene fremadrettet, kan jeg godt mærke. De andre årstider er også skønne på hver deres måde, men åh, hvor jeg ville ønske at sommeren varede meget længere end den gør for jeg synes slet ikke jeg har lært nok i denne sæson og min interesse i insekter er kun lige blevet skudt i gang for alvor og nu er det næsten slut.

En ting, jeg synes er sjov at bemærke, er hvordan vi havde så mange dagpåfugleøjer og kålsommerfugle og stregbredpander i juli og nu har vi næsten udelukkende besøg af nældens takvinge og tidselsommerfugle.

I alt har vi haft besøg af 10 forskellige arter i år: dagpåfugleøje, stregbredpande, nældens takvinge, stor kålsommerfugl, lille kålsommerfugl, admiral, tidselsommerfugl, citronsommerfuglen, græsrandøje og mener også vi havde en enkelt engrandøje forbi, hvilket giver mening fordi vi har ladet græsset gro langt og tykt.

Synes faktisk at det er ret godt gået når man tænker på at vi overhovedet ikke har gjort os ægte umage med at lave en biodivers have endnu. Min operation satte en del af det projekt på pause, så det er sgu fedt at se, hvor meget naturen virkelig gerne vil en, hvis man giver den en snert af opmærksomhed.

Mojn, bishes!

We want to go to the cinema. The problem was that for a number of years, there were no worthwhile movies to go see in cinema! 2026 has been an unusually great year for movies so far and it will continue to be great right until the end of the year because the remaining releases this year have more than a handful of interesting films among them. I’m waiting for Werwulf and Wildwood, personally. I wanted to go see more movies, but money are tight right now, so I have to pick.

I literally can’t remember the last time I had a year where I was this hyped to go see one movie, let alone five or six and having to actually prioritize which ones I’ll go support in the cinemas and which ones I’ll buy on bluray or DVD later. I think this hasn’t happened to me since 2018 when Hereditary came out. Every year since 2018 has been progressively more dull and disappointing, until this year and I don’t think I’m the only one who feels this way.

Kinda wild that when you start making movies that people want to watch, they actually go watch them. Who would’ve known???

Røffel er mit nye yndlingsord. Hvorfor har jeg aldrig hørt det før? xD

Everytime I see one of your posts, my brain rejects that you’re in the process of making a rocket and is instead fully committed to the idea that you’re just a very creative vampire hunter, who got bored with making conventional stakes.

Jeg forholder mig skeptisk til illusionen om, at amerikanerne har skyggen af respekt for den grønlandske regerings beslutning.

I love that this person also starts talking about colon issues and how yoghurt can cure it, while posting in a thread about a lady who has breast cancer. There are levels to stupidity. Some levels are so stupid, it is hard to fathom.

Man, this is so awful :( I just had my breast removed due to the pre-stages to breast cancer. It is genuinely so scary how fast these things grow. There was basically nothing wrong with my breast in January and by Spring, I went to the doctor for an unrelated check and casually asked him to take a look at this small lump in my breast. He said it seemed like nothing more than some hormonal changes and that’s what I thought as well, but he referred me to get a mammogram “just to be safe”. I got an appointment for February 2027 and was like “cool, I’ll wait”. The hospital called me sometime later and told me they wanted to offer me an appointment at a private clinic asap because the public mammogram section of the hospital was overbooked. I agreed and went in June. They weren’t able to see that anything was wrong, but decided to do a biopsy anyway, “just to be safe”. They told me, I would get the results in five weeks. Only two weeks passed and then they called me and told me they had found pre-stage cancer cells in my breast.

That was such a shitty day, ngl. I was very upset. They wanted to do further tests to see how much the cells had evolved so that they could see if they could preserve my breast or if they had to remove it entirely. MRI scans and all that shit. There were two lumps and together they were 11cm long. There was NOTHING in January and by June there was an 11cm growth. So fucked.

They had to remove my breast and they did in the beginning of July. It literally saved my life. There were no signs of the cells having evolved to cancer and nothing had spread to my lymphnodes. The doctor who gave us the good news told me that I had saved my life by catching it so early, because this would have been so bad if it had been left to grow much longer. It was all stupid luck and convenient coincidences. I could have ended up like Lucy so easily because everyone, even the pros thought that it was nothing more than some hormonal changes.

It hasn’t really hit me just how fucking serious this was, but reading stories like Lucy’s is devastating. Like, why couldn’t she have had my stupid luck and gotten an operation before it spread like this? Why did she have to end up in this situation? Why not me? It must have been so friggin aggressive, that it could get to this point. Or maybe she just didn’t notice because she was busy and, much like I, thought that her hormones were being silly? People don’t understand how quickly this shit develops out of nothing. It’s so unfair to Lucy. She’s always seemed like such a lovely lady and she’s very funny and likable. She doesn’t deserve this fate. :(

Edit: forgot to add, that it is so true, what she says about how it is much harder on the family than it is on the sick person. That is also how I felt during my situation. My siblings were sick with worry and one of them has had a few therapy appointments because it hit them so hard. Meanwhile, I was somewhat at peace with it all. The only thing I could barely handle to think about was the scenario of my boyfriend coming home to our little house after everything was over and funeral was done and all the practical shit was over and he’d just be there, surrounded by the life we built together. All alone. I still can’t think about that without crying. That hurts so badly to think that I could have done that to him.

So you make a movie that is like The Purge, but with sex instead of murder and then you cut out all the sex because “it takes you out of the movie”??
