#OnThisDay in #history - in 1394, Mary de Bohun, the first wife of the later Henry IV of #England died in childbirth. Mary was a wealthy heiress, and Henry fought to ensure Mary got her share. They had a generally happy marriage until her early death.
Her youngest daughter, Philippa, born #OTD eventually became Queen of #Denmark #Norway and #Sweden . Philippa was so respected that she basically ended up ruling Sweden during her tenure as consort #queen

Fashion is one of the most polluting industries in the world. It consumes huge amounts of water, energy and chemicals, and generates tons of waste and emissions. In Sweden, a new technology is transforming old clothes into new fabrics. The process involves shredding, dissolving and spinning the fibers into yarns that can be woven or knitted into new garments. #fashion #recycling #Sweden https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2023/0523/In-Sweden-recycled-fabrics-turn-old-clothes-into-new-fashion
❗️Sweden has fulfilled the demands of Turkey and has the right to join NATO, — the Secretary General of the Alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, following the meeting with the Turkish leader Recep Erdogan in Istanbul.

What is stalling Sweden’s accession to NATO?
Euronews looks at why Sweden's NATO application has yet to be ratified by the military alliance's member states.
Behind the delay, Turkey's calls for extraditing suspected militants, a demand to lift an arms embargo, and fears that ratification might provoke Russia.

Just signed up on Mastodon.art today and in reading and learning about the 'how to do...' things I felt compelled to attempt my first post. A small post, so I attach a pic of a small carved birch sculpture I did some years back from a part of the tree I felled in the back yard. Abstract of an Arctic seal, it measures about 18cm.in height.

Let me give you an example. This flower is very common and grows everywhere. It's tiny and often grows in lawns. But since lawns are usually cut often they never grow tall and plentiful.
It has at least three different names in Swedish. Teveronika, Mormors glasögon (Grandma's glasses) and Ögontröst (Eye comfort), German: Augentrost. Latin: Veronica Chamaedrys
It almost got extinct in the UK because people used to make te from it. Supposedly good for your eyes.

@supernovae #electricity pricing in #europe, or more precise #sweden is ridiculous for a couple of years. I pay 5 months per year a bit over 1000 euros each month for 4-person home. The rest of the year something like 100 euros per month.
Combination of bad insulation, non-efficient heating and extremely high electricity costs.
Was taking a shower, thinking about my art and tech project ideas for which I'd rather have a team, thinking about the heroic efforts of @spacekookie with their projects *while* getting funding while coping with an immense amounts of bureaucracy. (BTW, give them your money! #Irdest[1] HAS TO GET ADOPTED!).
I think that in a society with guaranteed basic income or in a self-sovereign, self-sufficient commune we (collectively) could have achieved so much more. Our time here is finite, why do we need to have such a shit baseline for existence?
The aren't ironic questions, perhaps some #capitalism fan will answer with some meta-analysis or something. I'm especially interested in hearing from people who understand how decision-making is organised in existing #socialist-congruent countries like #Sweden, #Germany and #Canada. How come your governments didn't establish universal income yet? Is it considered? What are the actual drawbacks?

Smoke free Sweden: Why are Swedes stubbing out their cigarettes?
Sweden is on course to become one of the world's first "smoke-free" countries, defined as less than 5% of the adult population smoking.
It is set to achieve this significant milestone in the coming months - 17 years ahead of the EU's 2040 target, with smoking rates falling from 15% to 5.6% over the past 15 years.

Frankly, #Sweden really didn't deserve that #Eurovision win.
In the #Eurovision final, the public vote in 18 countries gave #Käärijä / #Finland the 12 points where as #Loreen / #Sweden didn't got the full 12 points from any country.

The semifinal results have been declared:

2. #Sweden 135 points
3. #Israel 127 points
And as we know, this was purely the public vote.
So yes, #Käärijä was robbed by the juries in the final.
