"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."

Ok I figured it out
I'm going to make an actual profile picture, I just need to figure out how. It's probably really simple, but so am I.

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."

sorry what
so here's your regular reminder to not spend any money on this woman or her garbage franchise -- that means no videogame, no books, no movies, no direct-to-hulu specials -- even pirating the content gives her hatespeech more of a platform & exposes more people to her fascist propaganda.
consider, instead, donating a couple dollars to a trans woman in need, or a charity aimed at supporting trans youth.

Hello! Please direct your attention to this post. Today I will be sharing Lobna’s story. Lobna is 30 years old and she has 3 children and she lives in the Gaza Strip. She wishes dearly to help her children escape to a safer place but that is becoming increasingly difficult as the day goes on. Her 10 year old son Mohammed is injured and they do not have access to medical care. She has lost her home and now lives in a tent, I could not find any verification so please if you are able to please reblog and share the link. They are VERY far from their goal.

Hello, I am not sure if this is appropriate for the blog.
I am part of a multi-animator project, involving many animators from FSU countries- we have collaborated together to do a fan tribute to the classic of soviet animation “Ух ты, Говорящая рыба», by the legendary Armenian animator Robert Sahakyants.
Right now we are trying to get as much word out for out project as possible and we would be honoured if you could share a link to it on your blog and give it a shout out.
Apologies if this is out of place
