Journalist turned kids' librarian. Swedish in Finland. Kidlit. Vinyl records. Rather gay. Looks pretty when the light is right. Ibland på svenska. Bear with me. Always loved eurovision, not so sure anymore. He/him. linktr.ee/tobsonhelsinki 🇫🇮

y'all are always saying to just draw comics even if we don't feel talented well
A three-panel comic done in very simplistic black and white line art.

The first panel is a book titled "how to write way more."

The second panel is the book open to a page reading, "stop having depression."

The final panel is a human frowning at what they read.

The "why can't you look like Chris Hemsworth" thing really has me mourning for media literacy. Mary Pickford had a special light and a good side, her cinematographer always made sure to use both. IRL Mary Pickford, while absolutely lovely, did not look like Mary Pickford.

jeg lever i et af de lande hvor der forsvinder og bliver dræbt flest journalister i hele verden. Det er sådan noget man ser her i et 3 verdens land, tro mig den vej vil i ikke ned af, med et vold psykopatisk korrupt politi med en bundrådden moral. I burde være ret så bekymret over den udvikling.

It's also pretty unlikely that I will convince anyone who's wrong about something that they are wrong about something just by writing a little post about it on Bluesky.

A super boring approach on an app that is made for animated discussions but I rarely feel the need anymore to wake up to fifteen people I don't know ripping my opinion to shreds. Maybe I'm just getting old or something.

More and more often on this app, I will see a discussion and ask myself "is there any real need for me to participate in this". The answer is almost always "no, there isn't". And that is a good answer. Most conversations are not in need of me adding my point of view.

Terrible experience this morning when a totally unknown dog got into my house, chased the cat and got muddy paws on the sofa, then disappeared. I was out of the room but Rory told me all about it.
A beige sofa daubed with black paw prints, like something from a comic. A dog of unparalleled innocence wishes he could only explain how much he wasn’t the dog that made the cat bolt out of the cat flap a minute ago and also those paws don’t even look like his, fam.

Akut brist på tolkar för finlandssvenska teckenspråkiga: ”Teckenspråket är inte ett hjälpmedel, det är mitt modersmål”

People are sometimes surprised when I say I don't like LLM's – but I just got sent a copy of a magazine that I had given permission to reprint a short story of mine. There was an "About the author" piece that followed the story and not a single fact there written about me was accurate.

My poor colleague is going to be so disappointed now. She's been talking for days, with a rare glow in her eyes, about the absolute car crash that is Katie Zacharia. And now the ride is already over? Better for the state of the world, but still.

Bibliotekschefen "säger till P4 Väst att oron i det här fallet blivit stor över att ett barn som läser den typ av böcker letar efter trauman som kan vara självupplevda." Det är en väldigt stor slutsats att dra utifrån att ett barn lånat en olämplig bok. Fanns tidigare anledning till oro, kanske?

Also, the page in question - sudoku dot com - has gone through a shift this weekend. It is no longer silent and calm, it has started cheerleading me, throwing unwanted comments at me whenever I make a *great move*. Saying I hate it would be quite the understatement.

If I get too little sleep or my social battery needs recharging, suddenly nothing makes sense, logical thinking evaporates and I start making really stupid mistakes. Is there possibly some sort of life lesson hiding in here? Something that extends beyond sudoku?
