Someone already noticed the quiver at the back in my former post so here it is in full :-) As with so much else I`ve used scandinavian historical (year 800-950) motifs. I find them extremely beuatiful and cant help thinking those crafters, in small pieces of metal, back then was as brilliant as those of our days 1500 years later.

2 sets of handmade leather bracers for the weekend viking and reenactment, raven or wolf or mixed. The raven is redrawn from an old nordic pendant, the wolf is a neo-nordic self-invented image. 23 cm long, 4,5 mm thick. I guess they will sell at a viking/middelage market later this year.

I heard bloatus said something about how good #nordic #schools are as he was nuking dept of education
True. Finland’s schools are among the best in the world with tight federal equiv regulation
Sweden’s school system turned to private equity for-profit schools a generation ago, going much further than the US has done with charter schools. At the time of this right wing revolution we were close behind Finland
This is a short video showing the effect of neoliberal politics on our schools

Ilmarinen the Smith Goes Courting
Ilmarinen the Blacksmith never grew tired of hammering. One day, as he was putting some iron in the forge, a maiden came to his smithy. She stood upon the threshold and called out to the Blacksmith: “If you knew what I have to tell you, Ilmarinen the Blacksmith, you’d not put that iron in your forge.”

completely and utterly disagree
the #nordic countries plus the #baltics plus #poland, alone, outmatch #russia's #economic output. they don't match russia's #military output, but #ukraine has the will and capacity to do that, plus ingenuity #russia lacks. so then let's expand that to #uk, #germany, #france, etc: with #europe's full economic backing, ukraine's performance, already as extraordinary as it is, will be the preeminent military power in this arena in terms of capability
#Denmark pioneered a model to fund #Ukrainian-made weapons instead of purchasing foreign equipment, allowing for faster and cheaper deliveries while strengthening #Ukraine’s defence industry.
Thankful to the people and government of #Denmark for standing with #Ukraine! 
The initiative, now backed by #Canada, the #EU, and #Nordic countries, facilitated around €590 million in locally produced arms by 2024. #Ukraine aims to scale this up to at least $1 billion in 2025.
