Fun fact:
Swedish has two grammatical genders:
Neuter
Common
So even though we have two grammatical genders in our own language we get confused when learning languages that have male & female as grammatical genders.

Two more unofficial 
diagrams are online: I updated the 
#Swedish train network diagrams to 2025. I adapted the symbolisation of the frequency for a better appearance. There are some changes in the long distance traffic: #Flixtrain left Sweden, MTRX is now operated by #VR, there are almost no night trains to Gothenburg anymore. (Due to the limited number of services, the night train map is no longer as informative).

The first of 3 I'll be dropping in increasing energy, starting with this smooth and beautiful #swedish track:
I am the wilderness locked in a cage
I am a growing force you kept in place
...
I am a rolling wave without the motion
A glass of water longing for the ocean
I am an asphalt flower breaking free but you keep stopping me
Release me
Is there a #European #fighter jet that could end reliance on US & its F-35?
#Portugal & #Canada considering buying #Swedish JAS 39 #Gripen E/F as replacement for #American #F-35 due to concerns over kill switch. Is it a viable alternative?
Gripen is less expensive than F-35. Estimated operating cost of between $4,700 & $7,000 an hour compared to F35’s $33,000 to $40,000 an hour.

The Palestinian-Israeli documentary "No Other Land" is available on Swedish TV via http;//svtplay.se or the svtPlay app using a VPN.
It's with Swedish subtitles.

I was looking for #Dutch “keukenstroop” (dark sugar syrup) but all I could find was this #Swedish “Mörk Sirap”. To my surspise it is very, very similar to Dutch stroop. Any Swedes around who know how this is used in Swedish cuisine? The tri-lingual label suggests that it’s sold in Denmark and Finland as well. (Edit: add photo)

#US administration is #destabilising, against rules-based order & unwilling to confront Putin making #Trump’s attempts to broker peace amateurish, former #Swedish PM Bildt said
The #American administration has made America a destabilising country & is clearly, explicitly against rule-based order, clearly not respecting what #Europeans see as fundamental to #security (integrity & #sovereignty of #Ukraine) & not ready to confront #Putin

I guess it’s time for a long overdue #introduction
So hi I’m Céleste, from the land of kouign amann (Bretagne) and I came here for the spinny cats. I’m a 24-years-old lesbian and a cat mom of one beautiful orange baby. Trying out she/they pronouns at the moment but I’m a bit lost gender wise so that might change.
I’m really into all kinds of #crafts but especially #fibercrafts mainly #knitting these days but I also love #crochet, #sewing, #embroidery among many others. I’ve also tried #pottery and I wish it was more accessible bc I love it so much but can’t do it at the moment. I’m interested in everything #creative (except maybe writing).
I love learning languages but I’m really not good at getting to an okay level before switching to the next one. I speak #french and #english fluently, my #swedish used to be good but I lack practice but wanna get back to it, same for #finnish and #german. Currently I’m trying to get better in #spanish and get to an okay level. I’ve also tried #russian, #icelandic, #romanian, #hungarian without great success. I’d love to try out one #sami language one day but I should focus on the other first.
Currently completing the last semester of my masters and I will complain a lot about my thesis.
I’m also dealing with chronic depression, anxiety and probably other stuffs. I very obviously hate psychiatry although I’m user of it given the lack of alternatives.

More sights of this room and its history. It shows rests of the bailiwick of the Fleckenstein family. They lost their bailiwick to the future #Swedish king in 1650 (yes, we then were Swedish!). The farm was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War and migrants were sought to rebuild it to its present state. The family came from Bohemia.
