TIL that 4 out of 5 Norwegian work places provide free coffee for their employees.

Første norske matvarekjeden som gjør noe lignende får meg som kunde. www.fastcompany.com/91296407/dan...

A walk around the local pond. Sunshine through still naked trees - and pussy willows, one of the the earliest signs of spring. #Ortuvann #BergenNorway

“The list of words Trump is banning from government is single most fascist thing I’ve seen in my lifetime. Reads like a list of people who Nazis put onto trains to concentration camps. You can’t say ‘Black’, but ‘White’ is okay. ‘Women’ is out, but ‘men’ is okay. -Mike Burlick

Norge har ingen troverdige sikkerhetsgarantier fra den bøllete mafiabossen som nå styrer USA. Vi må omstille oss raskt.

Et øyeblikks nysgjerrighet, og en hel historie kommer frem med en setning. Jeg vet hvordan det er å ikke bli sett som individ, kun som representant for ditt land. Jeg er amerikaner. Jeg håper vår nye kantinemedarbeider slipper flere fordommer. Jeg håper han vet nå at han er sett som et individ.

Jeg måtte spørre, "Where are you from?" "I am from beautiful Romania," var det sure svaret. "I believe you," sa jeg. "I've seen pictures." Og med det slappet plutselig hele mannen av. Og sa hadet idet han gikk av heisen. /4

Tilkalte heisen en morgen. Heisen som kom skulle ned. Dørene åpnet seg og der stod den nye kantinemedarbeideren, med et lass kaffekopper. Jeg prøvde å vinke heisen vekk. Jeg skulle opp. "Come, come," sa han. "It's just one floor." Ubestemmelig europeisk aksent. Jeg steg på. /3

En dag så vi mye søl i kantinen. Kaffe, antok vi, og vinket til han nye kantinemedarbeideren. "It is blood," sa han mens han tørket opp. "You're kidding!" svarte jeg. For en raring, men han snakket nå. /2

På jobben, en ny mann i oppvasken i kantinen. Han leverer kopper og fyller på kaffemaskinene i etasjene. Prøvde å hilse, uten å få svar eller smil. /1

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

It’s getting there! My personal «dark time» (mørketid) is nearing its end. The sunset has cleared the building and is just below the hill. In two weeks the sunset will clear the hill 😍

I realize that those of us outside the US have to be the fact-checkers moving forward, to help Americans fight the fascism that was inaugurated yesterday in Washington, DC. I'll use my blog to help with that, under the category "Resistance 2.0". keerainnorway.wordpress.com/2025/01/21/n...

Når Trump nå er tilbake i Det hvite hus er det nødvendig å advare mot trumpisme i den norske valgkampen. De neste fire årene blir ikke bare en prøvelse for det amerikanske demokratiet. Også her i Norge må vi stå imot presset fra de autoritære kreftene som forfekter kortsiktige egoistløsninger.🧵 1/5

Today’s sunset in my neighborhood of #BergenNorway

We are on a path to oligarchy, folks. It’s clear as day.

I saw this headline and it made me genuinely laugh out loud. RIP, Jimmy, and kudos to whoever is in charge of flagging!

Trump will be sworn in in less than a month. This is an incredible gift. Most people facing authoritarianism never have time to prepare.

Today's sunset. The sky was absolutely on fire and coloring clouds outside the sunset pink. Gorgeous! Winter sunsets are something else! Location: #Fyllingsdalen in #BergenNorway

The storm was closing in on our neighborhood. Moments later the hail started. This gloomy time of year is made more bearable by all the advent lights in people's windows. #BergenNorway

I am grateful that I have absolutely no obligations today, so I can pamper myself all day! Got a haircut and a sore throat yesterday and today the sore throat is much better. Can't say the same for the haircut, but it always takes several days for the "shock" to wear off. Hair is weird.

I really hope the Syrians going home to rebuild their country are able to create something good and lasting. I’m hungry to see somebody succeed at doing good for regular folks.
