Danmarks Radio: Военнослужащие ВСУ раскритиковали заявление Зеленского об остановке российского наступления
Радио Дании (Danmarks Radio) передаёт, что украинские солдаты на передовой подвергли критике недавние слова своего президента о том, что якобы российское наступление было остановлено. В частности, украинские артиллеристы, сообщает Danmarks Radio, встретили слова Владимира Зеленского «кривой ухмылкой».

There is a thing called Runeberg.org that is like Project Gutenberg, but focusing on Nordic texts. They have scans of old books, from which a computer has extracted the text, and that automatic text needs to be proofread and corrected to match the scanned page.
Its a lot of stuff in Swedish but also plenty other languages too (Danish and Norwegian and Finnish, but also German, French, English, Latin...)
So if you wanna do some volunteer good work in the world you can help out with the proofreading. It's all done in the browser, I've been doing it on the phone, so it really doesn't take anything special.
Some stuff is in blackletter, which can be hard to read if youre not used to it, but there's also stuff in more modern fonts.
Here are the instructions in how to do it:
I'm currently proofreading a Finnish translation of Danish stories from the 1800s. You can arrange the titles according to language, so you can find the ones you can read.
There are at least a couple of "English-speaking person travels in Sweden and describes what's there" -books that are in English in the time period I looked at.
A friend of mine and I brainstormed over how a Danish Hatsune Miku (but specifically from Northern Jutland) would look like and behave. The jumpsuit, (illegal) moped, and Grøn Tuborg beer was a must. Everything else sort of fell in place afterwards. This depiction is so, so real. I have family that look and speak like this lol
Apropos speaking, in case you're wondering about what she's saying; she's complaining about taxes. I wanted to be sure the sentence in Vendelbomål is spelled correct, and so I used Vendsysselsk ordbog by Arne Espegaard.... which was a total of 4 entire books to go through, but worth the effort!
The blue/orange/green flag is Vendelbrog, the local flag around here.

Preparing for locale Ace Meetup in Aalborg, Denmark.
This Monday, Marts 4th from 4pm to 6pm, in Buens Bogcafe.
I'll be there to hang out with any who shows up just to chill. And to represent the Aalborg branch of @aseksuelledk, the group for Asexuals in Denmark.
This is so silly lol, I love it so much! You never realise how weird your own language can sound to non-native speakers before you hear it translated literally into English 🙈
