I want to make a post about the situation in Sweden so that people know what's going on. I know everyone is talking about the queen dying and how that will destroy the UK financially and the like, and it was 9/11, but.

The election here was yesterday and the preliminary results indicate that our second biggest party, SverigeDemokraterna, one rooted in nazism and fascism, will have a lot of influence over the country the next 4 years. They're one of Europe's biggest extreme right parties and the biggest in the world to be nazis through and through.

Things are going to be hell for racial minorities, immigrants, refugees, disabled folks, Muslims, Jews, the LGBTQ+ (especially trans), women and people/families with low income.

I'm not going to lie, I'm terrified. I'm exhausted. I've stayed up well past midnight on weekdays trying to get people to vote left and to make as much noise and make it known what the conservatives are doing to us and to get more engaged politically.

But I'm working against the grain here, what with our newstations and general media gave SverigeDemokraterna so much attention (positive and negative). Plus, the other traditionally conservative parties also rallied HARD for them, to the point that they got bigger than them.

This won't mean I'll give up and cower, I can't afford that. But it means that things are terrifying for those of us who are especially racial minorities. Because the nazis will get inspired by the results to get more active out there and cause so much damage.

Sweden has excellent PR. You wouldn't know these things because they make sure to seem like a small and peaceful country that is the posterchild for equality. But it's far from it. And It's only going downhill from here. I could list all of the truly heinous things that have been going on here the past few years but we would be here forever.

What I want to say though, is that Sweden has a truly revolting racism problem. Maybe not to the extent of the US, but it's not good. We were the forefathers of race biology after all. And that has ultimately paved the road for this election result.

If you see this, please reblog and share. More people deserve to know the truth about the state of this country.

So it’s official. A party of actual literal fascists is now the second biggest party in Sweden. I hate it here

I wish tumblr wasn’t so US (and currently UK centric), because yesterday was Election Day in Sweden, and currently it looks like the right have a majority to form a government, and it’s going to fuck everything up. They don’t care enough about the environment, one of the parties has roots in nazism, and is officially the second biggest party in Sweden. We had a female prime minister for the first time and now we might go back to having a man again 🧍🏻‍♀️ like,, this has been a really intense election people.

Kontroversiella Danmark

Under ett par år har socialdemokraternas danska systerpartis vägval varit både ett skräckexempel och inspiration för många svenska socialdemokrater. Jag tror att det polariserade tonläget om de danska socialdemokraterna är skadligt. Det finns både saker att lära och saker att avstå från att göra. Jag vet att det är rätt osvenskt att rekommendera saker man själv deltagit i, men denna fråga…

Hi! Have you seen the new movie yet?

Yes! —I just saw it yesterday!*

I thought it was fun —and while I would have liked there to be more of Thomas in it , I understand that it is a very large cast that they are working with, and I’m very glad Thomas got a happy ending.

Oh hey, more news about the election being reported outside of our country

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62913356.amp

(Altho it's not a "ex neo-nazi" party, it's still one lmao)

I truly do not believe they will be able to keep it together for 4 whole years as its looking right now. Good. Tear eachother apart. Show the country just how much of a joke you are. Meanwhile I'll get more people engaged in politics

konservativ majoritet. halleluja.

Välfärden först

När jag tänker tillbaka på valrörelsen 2022 inser jag att jag saknar valrörelserna runt millennieskiftet där “vård, skola & omsorg” var sloganer som nästan alla partier anslöt sig till. I det val som nu har utspelat sig var fokuset ett annat. Jag inser varför och är inte naiv kring detta. Ändå slår det mig att den fråga som flest svenskar tycker är viktigast är sjukvården. Samtidigt saknades…

if you want to support this blog and my work. ❉ ko-fi

all of my paindora hurts buttons for 2022! ⏳ in my store! 🐇 for these ph buttons, I decided on a unifying theme - if you’ve read the series, you know who the bunny plush represents. each character holds the plush differently, and in turns reflects how they would have treated that represented character. under the cut: more photos of ph merch below! + some spoilery concepts I had while designing these

❗ ❗ ❗  SPOILER START  ❗ ❗ ❗ - oz: self-love. what makes his character interesting, compared to other generic shallow jovial anime protags (sorry LOL), is his exuberant exterior juxtaposed with the neglect he’s faced, causing his self sacrificial morals. “if everyone else is safe then it doesn’t matter if i am hurt”. this drawing represents the self-acceptance that he learned through the journey of the series. - alice: “this is my servant!” for me, alice’s childish notions about possession and servitude eventually grew into a sense of devotion and loyalty to her loved ones. (the entirety of volume 19... around Retrace LXXVI / 76. makes me cry so hard) - gil: gil treasures oz above all. gil is oz’s knight, like the comparison of the characters edwin (master) and edgar (valet) in the in-universe series “holy knight”. i also saw someone reblog this saying “gil is holding the oz bunny over his scar/heart” and i totally didn’t think of that at all but it works so well, thank you for that 😳👍 - elliot: kind of also oz’s knight. i can imagine here he would have said “get behind me!”. not anything important but i really like how the hand turned out in this one - leo: i planned the lighting so that he’s both in the light and in the shadow. tormented by both his duty and his morals
