I've struggled so much with english these past few days and it's so annoying and embarrassing, and what's even more embarrassing is that I'm embarrassed at all in the first place!!! Everytime I make a rushed error with my unmedicated brain, or swap around with word order, or struggle to pronounce things or outright just fail to recall even basic words entirely I get so ashamed and stressed out.
And I hate being told things such as "you're better than some native speakers" because I know that isn't true! And I wish it could just be fine that I'm not! Sure, I've improved immensely ever since I actually tried to learn it properly 10 years ago, but it was such a bumpy and embarrassing road that it's practically a mercy for my self confidence that I was psychotic for a majority of the time, what with all the things I've forgotten or outright never memorized in the first place as a result lmao.
Everytime I have to edit captions and such after hitting 'Post' I always feel this overwhelming sense of dread that people will just pour in to nag and to correct me even over the smallest things, all without anything good to say. Which sucks, cause so many times where I've had people be condescending or outright degrading, the errors in question didn't even impede on the clarity of what I was saying. Just stupid, unimportant things like using 'has'/'have' wrong, using 'were' two times in a sentence, putting words in the wrong order in a sentence etc.
It's been years now since that was a thing that happened regularly, but that fear is apparently still so deeply imprinted that, even now, I can't read what I'm writing right here and now without this looming fear about how it will serve to make native speakers perceive me as stupid and unintelligent or outright infantilize me. Even though I know that's more than likely irrational of me to feel now. I seriously need to figure out how to overcome this mental roadblock, or at least not let it get to me like this. It's rarer these days, but I still feel it too strongly for my liking whenever my reservations do kick in.
#not to mention old group of people that shall not be named#who when i spoke up about feeling uncomfortable about the way they made fun of me#told me that it was fine actually because my language is not an oppressed one#which is so. indeed! its not!#nor did i ever say that it was!#id simply just hoped that people who called themselves my friends#would also want to like... maybe respect me like one#yknow???#idk im rambling and being stupid maybe#nothing happened really ive just felt shitty with how hard its been to speak and write lately#and i have such complex feelings about english and learning it and how its been this ceaseless struggle for over two decades#and how said struggle nearly cost me access to even get into gymnasiet#which didnt matter in the end anyway but thats another depressing story rofl and also lmao#silvi talks#or whines would be a better way of putting it LMAO#whatever its fine im fine#i keep trying to remind myself that i dont need speak perfectly to be deserving of civility#but holy fuck its hard sometimes!!! and tbh it doesnt help how often youll run into people mentioning stuff like#'writing pet peeves' and its just nitpicking minor grammar or spelling things as if its the end of the world#actually i need to stop here lest i become an unskippable cutscene about language policing as a concept and how it bothers me#KSJFEDKJDSKJS#delete later maybe i guess idk#depends on how ashamed i feel by admitting this openly

Omfattande vapenfynd på Hvitfeldtska gymnasiet
Omfattande vapenfynd på Hvitfeldtska gymnasiet. I källaren på Hvitfeldtska i Göteborg har det hittats en mängd skjutvapen. Närmare bestämt 32 stycken gevär. Det handlar om gamla gevär utan slutstycken så de har inte varit användbara. Gevräen är sannolikt kvarlämnade av en skytteföreningen som en gång i tiden fanns på Hvitfeldtska. De var gamla, från 1940-talet och 1950-talet. Det är oklart när…

i never rly heavily actively thought of growing up to be a dude but i did make male videogame and website avatars because "i want to be x character" and then the character was always something that was gender envy and i had no idea about the concept of transness so i just thought the feeling was me being attracted to them lol....
#my moms a bible belt swede#she was really good at gaslighting me into thinking trans people were drag queens and there was only girl drag done by gay guys lol...#idk thinking a lot about how i was kept in the dark when SEVERAL OF MY FRIENDS IN GYMNASIET WERE NONBINARY AND I DIDNT EVEN GET THAT....

The NTI Gymnasiet Kristianstad School Attack
On January 10th 2022, 15-year-old Laaiti Richard Ekenstéen walked into his school in Kristianstad, Sweden with a knife and injured 2 students before pulling the schools SOS alarm and being arrested by first responders.
Laaiti was charged with 2 counts attempted murder and 1 count of grossly unlawful threats. He was sentenced to 3 year’s Juvenile Detention.
Laaiti was also in contact with a fellow student who attacked his school months prior.
Laaiti Ekenstéen:








Sadly, I could not find any victims names. I found the pictures via Pinterest and the information via a deleted user on r/masskillers. If anyone knows who the victims are please let me know!

En av mina kompisar hade en termos med sig till gymnasiemässan i tvåan, där vi båda var representanter för vår skola, och istället för att svara när jag frågade om det var kaffe höll han ut den till mig för att smaka. Det var fisljummen whiskey.
Swede here. When I was 15-18 there was a girl in my class who had one of those huge handbags. It had boxed wine in it. All the time. To school. Once she and her friends were late for school on a Wednesday and they came directly from the club

Hey there! I'm a reader from the global south, I was wondering if you've ever been interested in prehispanic gods and beliefs? It's okay if you haven't, I was just curious <3
Yes, as a teenager I was very interested in the Aztec, Maya and Inca civilizations. It was the animated series The Mysterious Cities of Gold that sparked my interest. In gymnasiet (high school?) I actually made my diploma project on the Aztec Empire (despite that I was studying the Arts Programme and could have made an art project instead).
I'd love to learn more about the mythologies from that part of the world. I don't really have any good books on the subject.

Såg någon annan som berättade om upplevelsen från vårdcentralen och jag kände bara att jag måste dela med mig av följande för svenska vårdcentraler verkar inte funka över huvud taget.
Har själv varit till vårdcentralen pga att jag med ojämna mellanrum vaknar och har så ont i alla kroppsdelar att jag knappt kan gå, smärtstillande hjälper minimalt. Blev till och med hemskickad av lärare i gymnasiet för att hon tyckte jag hade för ont. Samtidigt som vårdcentralens enda förklaring är "du spänner dig när du sover" och absolut vägrar försöka hjälpa till med att minska smärtan eller hitta orsaken till varför jag "spänner mig". Jag har också blivit tillsagd vid flera tillfällen att jag visat flertal symptom på ångest och efter 5 år(!!) av att försöka få en tid med psykolog på vårdcentralen så har vi ett kort 25min möte där jag får respons att jag inte behöver en ångest diagnos pga att jag redan har en autism diagnos, som om ångest bara ingår i autism diagnosen?????
Min mamma fick också veta förra månaden att hon haft hjärt problem större delen av livet efter hon pratat med en specialist pga bröst smärtor, medans vårdcentralen (2 olika vill jag påpeka) i stort sätt ryckte på axlarna och bara gav rådet "ta en Ipren".
Far min hade också en liknande upplevelse när han började få rygg ont och upptäckte en knöl mellan skulderbladen, vilket man tycker är ganska uppenbart att man ska ta bort ifall det orsakar smärta eller att det möjligtvis är en tumör, eller hur? Nope vårdcentral (ytterligare 2 olika centraler) sa åter igen ta en Ipren och boka massage(?!) dom tänkte minsann inte skicka honom vidare inte.
Kortfattat, om du frågar mig, kan man undvika vårdcentralen och gå privat istället, så gör det för det här med vård verkar ju inte vara vårdcentralens starka sida.
Jag beklagar

Min morfar gick bort i morse.
Han föddes 1932 i Koutojärvi, i Tornedalen. Bägge föräldrarna talade Meänkieli som modersmål, men de hade redan försökt emigrera till USA 1928 och återvänt efter depressionen, och de uppfostrade sina barn tvåspråkigt med Svenska. Han och hans syskon var de enda barnen i bygden som talade svenska när de började i skolan, där man slogs för att tala Meänkieli med de andra barnen på rasterna. Men han, som kunde Svenska, klarade sig i skolan (trots käpprapp), fick stipendium, och kunde gå vidare ur småskolan - en av två i byn som inte slutade skolan vid tolv. Det betydde att han lämnade byn, sitt folk och sitt språk. Han flyttade söderut, till Stockholm, fick stipendie för universitetet, åkte till USA ett tag och träffade min mormor vid ett arbetsprojekt i Harlem som leddes av kväkarna, där min mormor var aktiv då. De blev kära, och bestämde sig till slut för att flytta till Sverige igen - mormor och morfar var båda socialister, och var rörande överens om att USA inte var en plats för dem. Mormors föräldrar förlät dem inte förrän morfar fick en professur - då var det okej.
Jag tror egentligen aldrig att morfar riktigt förlät sig själv för att han lämnade byn. Han hade inget val - ingen kunde stanna efter femtiotalet, igentligen - men han kände sig fortfarande som förrädare. Han var alltid en tillbakadragen figur, vars känsloliv inte alltid var tydligt - han var en tornedalsk man från 30-talet. Han hade sedan länge flyttat hemifrån när elen kom till byn, han var en man från en annan tid, och en för mig främmande plats. Men för mig betydde det mycket att ha en släkttradition, en levande länk, till forna dagars socialism, en person som höll den röda fanan högt. Jag och han lärde känna varandra som vuxna, och inte bara som barnbarn och morfar när jag gick på gymnasiet och hade radikaliserats, och var intresserad av allt det där. Vi gick på många föreläsningar och bokmässor tillsammans, Morfar och jag, och vi diskuterade konstant, han som drog en lans för Marxismen och materialismen (mensjevik som han var) och jag som var idealist och anarkist. Då fick vi riktigt starka band, jag och min käre gamle sosse till morfar.
Innan jag skulle flytta till Storbritannien, ett NATO-land, så bad han mig att vara försiktig, 'för man har ju sett vad som kan drabba anarkister', och han slutade aldrig att undra när jag nu skulle flytta hem, komma tillbaka till ett rimligare land. Jag är ledsen att jag inte han tillbaka medans du fortfarande var där, Morfar, och jag är glad att ditt sinne försvann innan ditt eget älskade parti förde in oss i det NATO du hatade. Kommer alltid att älska dig och jag hade en sådan tur att just du var min morfar, trots alla snedsteg och misstag, och trots att du glömde födelsedagar och aldrig lärde dig att hitta rätt present.
La lutta continua
Vila i frid, Walter/Valtteri.

I would definitely be interested to read the diplomatic timelines of Estonia and the Nordics! I'm Swedish, so I'll be able to translate the Scandinavian ones as well, if that is allowed.
Somehow, it doesn't surprise me that the Danish embassy in Estonia is the most well-funded, given the strong historical ties. And the legend of the Danish flag of course 😂 Is it true that on June 15th (Danish Flag Day), free Danish flags will be given out in Tallinn, at the location where the flag fell according to the legend?
Hej! Jag pluggar svenska i gymnasiet, men jag vet bara lite haha.
I intend to make a masterlist post of all the Estonia and (country) 100 timelines, but for now I'll give the ones I can. Unfortunately Denmark's seems to lack an easy to find Danish version? Although part of my memory swears it does exist simply lacks the easy switch... For now I struggle to find it, which is a shame, because Denmark's includes a lot of "people don't but SHOULD know this" content. I'll think of possibly doing a summary post about it myself, highlighting the very notable things- although it would take a ton of translation work.
I wouldn't quite underestimate the Swedish embassy either, I didn't get the chance to go inside but I am aware they sure have the budget to host a huge Santa Lucia celebration every year. I was part of the choir who did the Tallinn celebration last year in Õpetajate Maja, it was ridiculously fancy with a lot of important looking people (I saw multiple people who had their chest full of medals, it was insane! Also very crowded, they had to move out the way when we walked in to sing the first song.)
I haven't personally been to the little event they host on Dannebrog day, but looking at their Instagram posts... Very likely. Heck, when I visited and spent an hour yapping with their info specialist she also offered me a free little flag right before I left. They're not the cheap plastic handle ones either, proper small ones with wood that will hold.

Question about the "comedy show" Fredrika mentions in the clip! She seems to say spekt; do you as a Swede know what she's talking about? I figured it might be another word for spex, but would they really do that in gymnasieskola...? Spex is very much a uni students' thing in Finland. (For those who don't know the word, it's a type of amateur comedy theatre with audience participation. Usually musical theatre featuring popular songs with rewritten lyrics.)
Whatever it is, I don't suppose we'll actually see it in the show since it would take up way too much time, but the idea of the Hillerska third-years putting on a show has me in stitches!
She says Spex, and it’s usually a uni thing in Sweden too. But I suppose there’s an equivalent to in for Gymnasiet as well.
When I was in Gymnasiet, all the third year classes did a dance competition every year. My class won with a Eurovision parody performance hehe ✌️😂 but I don’t recall us referring to it as spex.
I sure hope we get to see whatever the Hillerska students will do. Now I can only picture August and Vincent dancing to ABBA like we did 😂

det har vi OCKSÅ men kommunen visar av någon anledning HÄNSYN till att bibliotek som ligger i städer eller byar ofta är svårtillgängliga för vissa som bor på landet (tex äldre människor eller folk utan bil) så därför finns det också en BUSS!!!!!!!
det här är det svenskaste jag någonsin kommer att säga men varenda gång jag spelar disco elysium påminner sirenerna/trumpeterna/whatever i bakgrunden mig SÅ mycket om bokbussen.
#thetalogs#jag har haft privilegiet av ett statsbibliotek och ett Bra skolbibliotek sen jag började gymnasiet#men innan hade jag bara vårat lokala biblioteket som tbh suger MASSIVT#hemskt utbud. världens dummaste öppettider. FUCK det biblioteket#jag menar. bokbussen suger också rätt så mycket men det är ett försök iallafall???????#anyways. inte min poäng. alls
