I had never heard of this movement. As an American in 2025 it is very very familiar though, as I am sure it will also be to Germans and many others whose countries have tried to do something similar.
I am learning about imperialism in the late 19th- early 20th century in my AP history class and we recently analyzed some political cartoons.
I miss when political cartoons were actually entertaining. I wasn't alive then but I miss it. Although a lot of them were pretty racist back then.
Anyway, speaking of familiar political moves, Trump taking over Gaza and building a resort on the rubble isn't even something a cartoon villain would do, it's what a parody of a cartoon villain would do. And I heard someone said invading Canada is something out of South Park, which I agree with based on what I've heard about South Park.
"The May 1930 cover illustration of Garm pokes fun at the advocates of a Great Finland who are depicted as showing a keen interest in Swedish territory, off the west coast of the Gulf of Bothnia. This dynamic and cynical style is Signe's hallmark. The title of the illustration is "Unrequited love, or a proposal of a young male advocate of the Ultra-Finn movement (Aitosuomalainen) to a Swedish lady from the west coast of the Gulf of Bothnia." A young muscular man carries a Finnish puukko under his belt and a hip flask with alcohol in his pocket. The young woman is clearly repudiating his advances. Her anxiety, stemming from an unwelcome proposal, is not only suggested through her expressions and gestures, but also by the black shadow which darkens the background.
The illustration openly reveals Signe's (and the editor, Rein's) aversion to the Ultra-Finn movement which partly arose from Signe's belief that its vision of a Great Finland revealed Fascist tendencies popular at the time. During the 1930s and 40s, Nazi Germany was expanding its territories under the slogan of "Lebensraum [Habitat]." Witnessing Hitler's iron-fisted success, the pro-German sentiments of the right wing in Finland gained increasing force."
The past few years I’ve watched my friend Hunter go through HELL with severe mold poisoning, abusive landlords causing a sudden move, and a stressful legal battle with social security. Now when he’s trying to start fresh, an awful fuck-up from the previous owners of his new home led to him not having functioning plumbing.
Through all this, Hunter held strong, but the $7,000 bill to fix the destroyed plumbing has left him no choice but to ask for help. Please, if you have the money to spare, donate to his fundraiser - even if it’s just $1, it’ll go a long way toward helping Hunter finally live the peaceful life he deserves. Shares are also greatly appreciated.
Do not really know what to say. A year ago we were making posts about how Gaza was being bombed through Christmas- how the oldest Christian community was being bombed- how the birth place of Jesus was being destroyed and his people murdered. A year later, it is going to be Christmas again soon, and the bombings have not stopped. But the news, and the attention seems to have died down considerably. It feels terrible and scary.
So today I tripped. Fell flat on my face, it was awful but ultimately harmless. My service dog, however, is trained to go get an adult if I have a seizure, and he assumed this was a seizure (were training him to do more to care for me, but we didn’t learn I had epilepsy until a year after we got him)
I went after him after I had dusten off my jeans and my ego, and I found him trying to get the attention of a very annoyed woman. She was swatting him away and telling him to go away. So I feel like I need to make this heads up
Don’t get scared, don’t get annoyed, follow the dog! If it had been an emergency situation, I could have vomited and choked, I could have hit my head, I could have had so many things happen to me. We’re going to update his training so if the first person doesn’t cooperate, he moves on, but seriously guys. If what’s-his-face could understand that lassie wanted him to go to the well, you can figure out that a dog in a vest proclaiming it a service dog wants you to follow him
Whirlpool, Webs and Fierceteeth designs I made today :>
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!
To add, Annabeth’s outfit is inspired by a barn owl and Percy’s is inspired by an osprey

Hi
Have low camera quality hailstorm I made a while ago
"Pangur Bán and I at work, Adepts, equals, cat and clerk: His whole instinct is to hunt, Mine to free the meaning pent. More than loud acclaim, I love Books, silence, thought, my alcove. Happy for me, Pangur Bán Child-plays round some mouse’s den. Truth to tell, just being here, Housed alone, housed together, Adds up to its own reward: Concentration, stealthy art. Next thing an unwary mouse Bares his flank: Pangur pounces. Next thing lines that held and held Meaning back begin to yield. All the while, his round bright eye Fixes on the wall, while I Focus my less piercing gaze On the challenge of the page. With his unsheathed, perfect nails Pangur springs, exults and kills. When the longed-for, difficult Answers come, I too exult. So it goes. To each his own. No vying. No vexation. Taking pleasure, taking pains, Kindred spirits, veterans. Day and night, soft purr, soft pad, Pangur Bán has learned his trade. Day and night, my own hard work Solves the cruxes, makes a mark."
