Minns inte om det blev mer än en säsong. Den sändes i Sverige för ganska många år sedan och jag kommer inte ihåg namnet på den.

(Spent a lot of time uploading it to my new TeePublic store so ran out of spoons for socials.)

I've been trying to get into nordic knotwork more to make my own stylised stuff. I really enjoy the style and such but wanted a more authentic feel to it as I noticed a lot of celtic influences creeping in.

Also, radial symmetry is just so nice, I just love how it looks. XD

It's called Thin Blue Line (Tunna blå linjen) and portrays #Swedish #Police trying to operate under the Nordic model where cops are social workers carrying a gun. It's quite dark but does not try to sugarcoat things. IMDb score 8.1:

Watching my #Scandinavist friends celebrating the #Nordic Countries Day is interesting as the further west you go, the pictures they are sharing are more likely to miss 🇦🇽 from them. Then as you go east, the more likely it gets that they miss 🇫🇴 and 🇬🇱.

Of course it is obvious that when most Scandinavians say "Nordic", they really just mean 🇩🇰, 🇸🇪 and 🇳🇴; with 🇫🇮 being there as an option. 🇮🇸 sometimes gets to be there if it asks really nicely, but not always.

Old Scatness
For a thousand years, Old Scatness lay undiscovered beneath the ground. The old Iron Age village in the south of Shetland was rediscovered in the 1970s during the building of a road. It has yielded a number of significant Viking artefacts, and now has World Heritage Status.

Ah, so here it is... #Introduction

I am a fan of #Art and #Books, especially #Gothic, #Steampunk, #Fantasy, and #SciFi. #Vampires and #Zombies are my favourite horror genres, and my all-time favourite book is Mary Shelley's #Frankenstein.

My degrees are in #Medieval #OldEnglish #Manuscripts, #Culture, and #History, and I also have a deep love of all things #Norse, #Nordic, and #Viking.

#Politics lean toward #Socialism (not the same as Communism} and I'm a happily #woke #progressive.

Hello #chemiverse! Here is a bit more of an #introduction than my Hello World post.

I'm Lynn, a computational (bio)chemist at Georgia Tech/Uppsala University. Our group are into physical organic chemistry, computational enzymology, protein evolution, and enzyme design.

I'm an adult "third culture kid", I grew up all over the world, and speak five languages. I'm #FirstGen, half #Nordic and half #MENA.

I post about my toddler, science, science policy, and politics in general. I support #OpenScience and #FreeSoftware. Outside of work I take photos of things (I'm on Instagram as @caroline.kamerlin), I am addicted to vegan cake, and I play the piano. In a prior life I was a concert-trained pianist.

I'm half Persian so a lot of my emotional bandwidth right now is occupied by #IranRevolution.

Follow me for cake and science.

The #Nordic social democracies are often referred to as capitalist but I don't think that's right.

With public expenditure close to 50% of GDP, union density of 70-90%, major state-owned enterprises, large coops sectors (the largest supermarket chains are consumer coops), social housing (the city of Helinski is the largest landlord in that city) and Norway's sovereign wealth funds, to call these 'capitalist' economies renders the word meaningless.
