both “large corporations/the richest people on earth are driving climate change to a far greater degree than the average person” and “i can take personal responsibility over my consumption levels and encourage others to do the same” can both be true. you can change your personal habits and still criticize government actions. it’s not an either-or situation
I’ve got five books to offer you all this time. Two kids books and three non-fiction books (one about happiness, one about cats and one about language). All in Swedish, of course. They’re second hand as per usual, since most of the money I’ve gathered for this goes to paying for the shipping costs.
To enter the giveaway, just do these two things:
Reblog this post and
Tag it with the first (or one of the first) Swedish word you learned
A winner will be picked with a random number generator on December 18th 2019. So reblog this post before then if you want to be sure your entry is counted!
This giveaway is international, so you can enter no matter where you live.
However, if you are a minor, please ask for your parent’s/guaridan’s permission before entering. This is because you have to give me your name and address if you win so I can fill out the shipping information correctly when I send the box of books to you.
Please also make sure to have your instant messaging function turned on here on tumblr so I can contact you easily if you win!
Good luck!! 🇸🇪

that Brian Eno quote about how whatever you find most repulsive about a medium (film grain, record scratches/fuzz, CDs skipping) will be the first thing you try and emulate once that medium is obsolete because it’s “the sign of a moment too powerful for the medium assigned to contain it”…. man…….
“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.” -Brian Eno
Friendly reminder that Shuri, Peter Parker, Kamala Khan, Morgan Stark, Lila Barton, and Harley Keener are NOT Young Avengers so please stop putting them on the team lineup/referring to them as such, and if they ARE part of the team in the MCU I am prepared to riot
