Bronze Age Scandinavians braved open seas 3,000 years before the Vikings, new study reveals

Hundreds of years before the Viking Age, Nordic Bronze Age societies were likely proficient open-sea navigators who regularly crossed large tracts of ocean directly between what is now Denmark and Norway, suggests a new study published in PLOS ONE...

"Great cinematic jazz-noir version of one of Scandinavia's oldest songs - originally written in runes!" Listen to the single & read the review over at the blog:

So, according to #MyHeritage, I'm 54% #English. Being #Danish and not entirely unaware of our history, I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that perhaps it's the other way around, you know with the whole #viking thing and all.

I'm also 19% #scandinavian, almost 9% #Baltic and nearly 1% #MiddleEastern. Closest #DNA match was a 5% match. Makes me feel all worldly and unique. And like I've wasted a bunch of money on a DNA test.

This year, shall I put together an illustrated electronic (.epub/ .pdf) Christmas annual of Norwegian folktales and legends that are unknown in English? (I need to get planning already.)

I'm #binging the most amazing #norwegian #TV #show ever: "Dag" (2015). It's been nearly ten years since I finished it the first time, but it's still a perfect match for me. #Dark #Scandinavian #Comedy at it's very best.

Unfortunately not streaming anywhere, and tricky to get a hold of, unless you know where to look. Savvy?

CLIMATE ACTIVISM SHOULD NOT BE CRIMINALISED!

Argentinean activist Esteban Servat stands trial this Wednesday 30/8 in #Copenhagen for occupying the #Scandinavian headquarters of #TotalEnergies.
The occupation involved over 20 other activists, demanding Total end its destructive operations of #oil and #gas extraction around the world. But Esteban - co-founder of #Debt4Climate - is the only one singled out for the occupation. He is being charged under the Danish Penal Code for trespassing.

***We're standing in solidarity with him at Københavns Byret, Retssal 81, Hestemøllestræde 6, 1. sal. Join us to show he is not alone!***

Afterwards, at 12 PM, we will move to Østre Landsrets Plads 1, where we will show solidarity with two other climate activists being charged with jail time for a climate action at Langebro: https://www.facebook.com/events/675550451261955

If you are in #Denmark next Wednesday and could support, please get in touch at info@debtforclimate.org!

Shit got real today!

Visited #WowPark in #Billund, #Denmark today. It's a lovely back-to-basics amusement park in the middle of a forest, featuring - among other things - swings, slides, tree top houses and walking paths, millions of ants, fireplaces and petting goats. Very #Scandinavian. A reasonably priced all-day activity for kids of all ages - me included.
