Skunk Anansie, last night I Stockholm. I've been listening to them since I was 14? ~1996? Well worth the wait! Fucking amazing!! #music #skunkanansie

Picture taken just after we've played the larp Palestinian larp Tiny Steps in Heaven at A week in Oslo before Knutepunkt 25. A larp about remembering the children's stories and that they're not just statistics. #freepalestine
Current thoughts that are too long for bluesky.
KP blues hasn't hit me yet, still on a KP high. (Current thoughts that are too much text for bluesky.) Humbled & Grateful. 💕
Knutepunkt 25 is over for this year. I've cried, loved, hugged new&old friends, danced, larped, learned, co-hosted, discussed flagging, been angry at politics & genocide, been a Fairy Godmother & fallen in love with the larp community all over again. And taken way too few pictures, like always.
OMW to Oslo and Nerd-Christmas with my beloved larp community. This has been the highlight of my year since 2007. #knutepunkt25 #KP
This song has been my main theme this week and it it manages to be even more relevant every morning when I read the news.
Fuck the Coloizers - Cee Reality
En artist som går varmt i lurarna sen förra året är Råstis som snart släpper nytt, hurra!

Everytime I think the systematic injustice in (a whole lot of parts of) the world can't simply become any worse, I wake up to read the news and am proven wrong again. Solution? I guess like always. Organise. Resist. Speak.
Slowly prepping for the larp Together at last. I present to you my character Zoey Raven who says about 50% deep important life truths and 50% corporate bullshit as a VR motivational speaker.
I thought I knew my IT-stuff, being a PC gamer/nerd since always but Microsofts Office is on another lever of user-friendly-non-complient. I spend significant hours of my workday looking for solutions +emailing the IT-support. Result: tired and still without functioning software.
If you're in Stockholm, I recommend checking out our new larp studio - Dark Zonkey Studios! Wanna play? #larp

Enjoying one last slow coffee & morning routine before starting my new job on Monday morning.
How's your Friday morning treating you? What's your win or happy moment today?

PMDD or PMS info written by me. My personal journey and how I got help since this isn't wide spread information on the internet. Feel free to read, share or ask me questions. I'm not a health professional, I'm just a human with a womb who used to have PMDD.

At least I can trust that UPS will fail to deliver my package despite them having all the info and me sitting quietly on the couch waiting for them.
No, using UPS in the first place was not my choice.
Been thinking a lot of what "family" means lately. Usually I say "I have a great chosen family" and "my mom and I are the only two blood family left alive". But yesterday my biological dad sent me a text saying my cousin was traveling in Sweden and wanted to meet up. Wait what, I have a cousin?
Ah! Smart! I have spikes though since I live in a climate and drive to places where it's safer to use spikes despite the negative environmental impacts. I'll think I'll have to compensate by not changing the time on the old car stereo. 🤣
I first came in contact with this saying at Hyper Island, still rings true though. It says "team is everything" in pink and orange gradient bold letters across a sunset sky.
Last week of this two month Scrum Master course. The material is super interesting, a lot of what I've already done for years but didn't know the techniques actually had a name. Sadly, the school is awful. Tomorrow, I'll lead the team in our last retrospective which reminded me of this old quote:
I guess I can call myself a grown up when I managed to change my tires on my car the evening BEFORE the snow, that might hit us tomorrow, comes? Or is it the fact that I'm turning 42 in just a few hours and should have the answer to the meaning of life?

One of my cats has nailed the response to today's news. I wholeheartedly agree. Being a 7kg loaf.
Women fight back over abortion law
It's not even midnight and there's only one item left on my todolist for today? What?? OK, it's a big task I've been avoiding since September but still? And that has progressively gotten harder to achieve for each passing day I've been avoiding it? Yeah. That task.
Wanting to reply "got a shit lot done on my todolist today and held two great meetings" but stopping myself to actually think about it.
Real answer is my every morning video breakfast with my mom tradition we started during the pandemic. And my cats.
This. So much. #feminism

Omg! Yes!! I was so bummed that I had to skip the last one in Sweden. If you run it here again, and I get off work, I would loooove to come. ♥️
The genocide in Palestine. Trying to keep it together most days. Reading the news as much as I can handle. But tonight ended with me ugly crying. Again. This insanity has to stop. #freepalestine
And once again I'm put in the position of needing to choose between 1. Learning for life+future possible job or 2. Learning to pass the course and please teachers. Doing both is impossible within the time frame. Worst scrum master course ever?
Heard this report on the news the other day and haven't been able to shake it. It makes me incredibly angry.
"... Sweden drops another four places to 24th... "
"The trend of increasing inequality in Sweden is continuing - and it is a result of political decisions."

Studying a Scrum Master course atm. Interesting theories - the absolute worst school and teachers I've ever had though. Just wow.
