The Christian Democratic Party (#KRF) of #Norway wants to ban #pride flags
In response, 2 rich #Norwegian s, Katharina Andresen and Isabelle Ringnes, joined forces with #Oslo Pride donated free #prideFlag s to #schools across Norway
After searching shelter from a nearing thunderstorm we either discovered the end of the rainbow for the first time or the rainbow bridge to Valhalla guarded by Heimdall himself. Whatsoever, a second rainbow appeared as well, doubling the rare impression of what a thunderstorm can create within seconds!

Norway is definitely one of my places to be - this view reminding on mythical English Avalon is located in Rennesøy which now belongs to the Stavanger-municipality.
"There is such a place as fairyland - but only children can find the way to it."

️ #Norway more than doubled the aid planned for #Ukraine in 2025.
Thank you, #Norway!
#Norway will spend 85 billion #Norwegian kroner (over €7.2bn) on supporting #Ukraine this year, up from 35 billion (€3bn).
Prime Minister of #Norway #Jonas_Gahr_Støre said: "We are increasing support because there is a need for it, and it is a solid contribution to peace and stability in #Europe"

“We support #Ukraine in its just struggle for a just and lasting peace,” said #Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
"Your dignity honours the courage of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, and be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue to work with you for a just and lasting peace," - European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
The last 12 hours:
#instagram: one video of a comedian saying we should be kidnapping #billionaires, and two other videos saying we should chop their heads off. This is Instagram. #Meta. Whoops.
In #Mastodon: two #Norwegian and #Dutch pension funds with over $2.2t in assets, are divesting from #American and #broligarch stocks.
At this rate, it'll take only another month or two before the #UnitedStates becomes a #shitholecountry.
@stux it's probably right about now some Americans are going "oh so THAT'S why they restrict speech".
No bull, as a #Norwegian, I don't think we go hard enough with those laws - because the thing they don't know about those laws is that it's directed at politicians.
It's not "WE WANT TO RESTRICT YOUR FREEDOM", but more like "know your place, politician - mind your P's and Q's, or your party loses mandates".
It's the STFU laws, aimed squarely at those in power or those who want it.

The national broadcasting association of Norway (#NRK) just released this little viral gem, and I gave it hardcoded subtitles. Enjoy.

Some people have a legendary life full of adventure and accolades. One of these is Fridtjof Nansen, #Norwegian explorer, #scientist, and plankton pioneer. He intentionally froze the specially designed ship #Fram into the ice for 3 years to study #Arctic #oceanography (a whole story on that!), invented water samplers and a closing plankton net named for him, became a diplomat, and was awarded the #Nobel Peace Prize for refugee works post WWI.

@zmeyche@c.imtoday i learned the wonderful #norwegian word papirkurven, and i can hardly express how delighted i am of its existence
i know it’s ridiculously funny to probably only me (and some other fellow slavic-language-speaking people), but i will keep smiling at the memory every time i remember
languages are great and there’s not a single day i am not nicely surprised
@severud@infosec.exchangePat Paulsen for President has taken the extraordinary decision to suspend its campaign for the very first time ever in the history of the Republic in order to endorse the Harris-Walz ticket.

I don't like how it says - invading rainforest. The rainforest was there before any settlers came.
"#Norwegian settler, Bernt Ronning, established his homestead in 1910 near the terminus of the old San Josef Wagon Road. This road was promised as access to the settlers further out at #CapeScott, but was never completed. Most settlers abandoned the area over the years, but Ronning continued making his life here into the early 1960's, working as a trapper, fisherman, and camp cook, while maintaining his prized garden.
During the earliest years, Bernt Ronning cleared over five acres of rainforest in order to plant the #WildernessGarden of his dreams. A #garden created from seeds, cuttings of trees, and exotic plants he ordered from around the world. His house and garden became a regular way station for the settlers hiking from Cape Scott, #RaftCove, and #SanJosefBay. As the years passed, the garden continued to grow in size and variety.
In the late 60's and into the 70's the garden nearly disappeared under the encroaching brush and alders. Many of the trees grew into unusual shapes as they struggled to find their way to the light. The daffodils stopped blooming under a thick canopy of dense salmon berry bushes. Most of the hundreds of flowers in the terraced beds were lost. Today, the Bernt Ronning garden has once again been freed from the invading rainforest."
