hanse_mina@mastodon.social - Norway criticizes Finland’s move to quit land mine treaty
“If we start weakening our commitment, it makes it easier for warring factions around the world to use these weapons again, because it reduces the stigma,” says Norwegian foreign minister.

or just The Three Country Cairn, the spot where Finland, Sweden and Norway shake hands.
Well, the first picture is 'a' country cairn, the second picture is THE three country cairn. But I liked the sky in the first picture better, so... :)
These cairns are located in Malla Strict Nature Reserve, most easily accessible from Kilpisjärvi in Finland. As the title of the park suggest, it's a very special area with rare species of plants and therefore protected. Every Mans Right, the right to roam is not applicable here. However, according to regulations on the basis of cultural protection, the indigenous Sami people should have access to the land for the practice of reindeerhusbandry. Two worlds collide.
My Malla-story: I don't want to brag (I do, actually :P) but I think I saw a wolf here once. On my way back down, where the treeline starts, I sat down on the path, to drink my last bit of water. I heard some footsteps down below off the trail, which was weird, because you are not supposed to stray from the path. And the steps sounded too coordinated for reindeer. I waited it out quietly and then a big dog appeared. My heart jumped, but luckily the dog didnt hear that. To this day, I don't know if it really was a wolf, but if it looks like one, walks like one and quacks like a one.. maybe?..

@utbluegirl I agree with you. I think the US is on the cusp of a transition. It is heading deeply into a #Kleptocracy #Kakistocracy #Oligarchy. If elites like Musk, become #Enlightened and choose to #Nationalize and accept #RedistributionOfWealth. We could begin a more #Socialist model like the #Nordic countries (i.e. #Finland, #Sweden, #Denmark) and work toward #Limitarianism like #IngridRobeyns proposes. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's #TorchesAndPitchforks and #PinataEconomics

My name is Arjan and I'm the face behind the oalegroond apothecary. I am active on Instagram under the same name, but I have been looking for a good alternative since I haven't been feeling like Instagram is what it once used to be. This app reminds me a lot of the old Instagramfeels and gives me good cosy vibes.
If Nordic medicinal herbalism, mushrooms, wild northern nature and folklore are your vibe, then I welcome you to the Oalegroond apothecary!

Norwegian fuel company Haltbakk Bunkers has announced it will cease supplying fuel to #US #military forces in #Norway and American ships docking in Norwegian ports, citing dissatisfaction with recent #US policy towards #Ukraine.
In a strongly worded statement, the company criticised a televised event involving U.S. President Donald #Trump and Vice President J.D. #Vance, referring to it as the "biggest shitshow ever presented live on TV."

@SimonRoyHughes@beige.partyIlmarinen 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.”
Read the whole #folktale, which is inspired by #Kalevala, on this #KalevalaDay.

I’m afraid you are completely wrong. I’m not sure whether you are talking about “equity-efficiency tradeoff”? However, this relationship is far more complex than a simple tradeoff:
Many countries with extensive social safety nets (like #Nordic nations) maintain strong economic performance while providing robust #social support.

Without a doubt, the Faroe Islands is one the most beautiful places that exist. With an overload of mountains, cliffs, waterfalls, seascapes, quaint villages and even some viking history, it's hard to not fall in love with this place.
But! It takes a bit of preparation if you want to do more here than just drive around in your car. Not that just driving around is a bad thing here, the views even from the road are quite spectacular pretty much all the time.
But be aware that most trails and the majority of the iconic sights are only accessible via private land. You will need permission to enter and often there will be quite a steep admission fee. You can even find trails closed off, especially outside of summer season. It's not a bad thing though as the nature here is fragile and under increasing stress from both climate change and increasing popularity as a tourist destination. After all, there are hardly any trees in this harsh and windy environment, which makes the soil very vulnerable I guess. Mudslides do occur.
Therefore I only went on one trail, in more flat terrain. Even in that environment I had to slide down a hill on my ass, because the slippery path provided no foothold whatsoever. Very charming, Muddy McMudpants! But I was glad it was a hill and not a steep mountain.
Note also that in november/december there can be hunters out for hare culling season. Best to contact the local information centres for advice and updates on where to go or not.

#PresidentMusk and Vice President #Trump's budding #dictatorship is a result of unregulated #Capitalism. Musk's money and Trump's greed is driving it all, with guidance from #Capitalist #Russia.
So, the world has seen #tyrannical governments claiming to be #Communist, #Socialist and #Capitalist, all three. #Greed is independent of stated economic policy, but thrives in 'pure' systems.
This is why I support the #Nordic economic models: Balanced between socialism & capitalism, each checking the other.
‘Nordic firms have outperformed those from the rest of Europe over the past decade. In all four countries, listed non-financial firms have generated greater shareholder returns than the European average over the past ten years.‘
‘… four-fifths of listed Nordic companies spend more on research and development than their rivals do elsewhere in the West.’
Scandi style:
• International ops / “foreign adventures”
• Technology focus / “fervor”
• Reasonable levels of regulation / freedom
• Patient, long-term owners / shareholders
• R&D investment
