ABC-same (B-same som studert samisk). Nei, jeg uttaler meg ikke på vegne av hele det samiske folk. My heart belongs to Sápmi. Saami in heart n' soul ’Balvadis’ is Lule Saami for cloudless.

“Indigenous people still live among us, yet how many of us could name the specific tribe or nation whose land we live on?”

Reading this I ask myself how many Scandinavians know which Saami district they live in, their holiday resort or mines are built on? www.teenvogue.com/story/indige...

Happy Indigenous People's Day!

We were "supposed to" disappear into the trash heap of history, yet we are still here, still in relation with our ancestors and our sacred lands and one another.

So the day that was meant to mark the beginning of our ending is now ours to do with as we wish.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

OMG the relief it is when you take the approach of thinking this person is yelling at me and criticizing all kinds of things not because it is actually something wrong with me, but because something is happening inside him. What used to feel like a rocket grenade launch - now passes easily.

jokes aside, can you imagine how you would handle it if you asked a human assistant "did you make all this up instead of actually doing any of the work", and that person responded to you with "good catch"

Sverige ökar utsläppen. Men investerar i gigekonomi i Ghana där mopederna laddas med smutsig el och används för att frakta europeiskt skrot. Det är vår miljösatsning. Mycket bra reportage i Aftonbladet.

Haven’t been drawing for ages, but I am meeting a friend this week and I thought a cartoon with things that are our memories will be the perfect gift. So this morning I was doing different types of characters on an envelope. And now I bought new set of everything to do it a bit more professional.

Det er visstnok så vanskelig å finne kompetente sjefer, så sjefen som er ansvarlig for Helse Nords totale underskudd på ca. 330 mill. får over 3 mill. i offentlige skattepenger i året for å lytte til administrasjonens forslag på kutt og foreslå styret. Kanskje AI hadde hvert mer kostnadseffektivt?

Man kan ju tycka att om man som kineserna använder pictogram istället för bokstäver så borde det vara logiskt. Men från min kontext som same så hade jag precis som mina förfäder ritat en lávvu, en tältkåta, och alla samer ser ett hem, medan kineserna de tecknar givetvis

tak + tre grisar
Bild från en lärobok i koreanska. Längst uppe till vänster står det kinesiska låneordet för hus på koreanska 가 (ga), kinesiska tecknet 家 (jia)  och det inhemska koreanska ordet för hus 집 (jib) och engelska house. Detta är illustrerat med tre grisar i kinesiska kläder som sitter under ett tak. Under illustrationerna finns 20 högfrekventa sinokoreanska låneord som bygger på 가 (ga).

I realize this studying Korean is probably some kind of diagnosis, when I even enjoy learning Sino-Korean words so much that I do it for fun. No one told me to study it and yet I am studying a bunch of new words every day. #languagelearning is so enjoyable, unless you are allergic to it.

Ny metod? Prata en till en med barn och mycket, försöka hjälpa dem med stödord från modersmålet. Att det är mer effektivt än envägskommunikation mot en grupp utan några ord från modersmålet är inte rocket science för samer som i generationer satts i svenska skolor och förväntats förstå allt direkt.
Ny metod fick barnens ordförråd att ”explodera”
Barnens språkutveckling i förskolan måste bli bättre, säger regeringen. En ny forskningsrapport från Stockholms universitet visar metoder för att nå dit. – Nu har barnens ordförråd fullständigt explod...

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

Derved ikke sagt jeg synes at de kommunale svenske skolene skal få nytt finansieringssystem så pengene kommer tilbake, istedenfor som nå private skolesektoren har kunnet hente ut i milliarder årlig i overskudd i mange tiår.

Muligens jeg er naiv. Men så lenge det er fritt flyt av varer og personer over grensene, ingen systematiske grensekontroller, kriminelle kan kjøre over grensa med milioner i cash, droger, våpen og håndgranater er dette løsningen på hvordan man stopper granater? Hva med grensekontroll?
Slik skal Sverige knuse gjengrekrutteringen
I Sverige settes det nå inn tiltak for barn ned i tre-fire årsalderen for å forebygge at barna blir rekrutterte til kriminelle gjenger.

AI generated false references.

For a discussion with grad students, I asked ChatGPT for 10 academic papers with summaries on a topic I know well.

6/10 were made up citations that sounded possible (1 by me!).

Of the 4 real papers, the summaries all were over-general and included errors.
rikefranke.bsky.social
And here we go. I never wrote this article, and yet it is cited here.

www.liberalbriefs.com/geopolitics/...

And of course, it sounds so plausible, I seriously checked whether I had forgotten it, or the footnote was slightly wrong.
