So What's This All About?
This is a blog in and about the Danish language.
With many English-speaking aquaintances and more time spent on the computer, I've begun to feel my grasp on my mothertongue get worse over the last few years. And hearing people substitute words with English in passing makes me think I might not be the only one? It doesn't help that Danish has a reputation for not sounding very good. It's not suave. It's a bit of a silly one. But it's mine, and I like it.
This blog is dedicated, most of all, to saying silly things in Danish. Sure, there is a core of wanting to reconnect with my native language, and perhaps an undertone of old-man-yells-at-cloud in my soul, but the main point is that translation is a fun puzzle, language is interesting, and sometimes, memes sound great when you translate them to Danish.
And sometimes not. I'm willing to take the L.
Now I know this might attract an unfortunate crowd so I feel the need to disclaim: DO NOT BE FUCKING RACIST. Dansk Folkeparti do NOT fucking interact.
This blog welcomes trans women, queer people of all kinds, weird kinksters, illegal immigrants, and all other aspects of our beautiful human diversity, as long as you support each other's human rights.
Even you, Sweden.
This means to TERFs, no queerphobes, no racists, no people who want to gatekeep pride, no ableists, the works. I know you're here anyway, but now you know that I am using my mind to pierce you with several oversized forks through your most vulnerable nerve endings! I would say that's only fair :)
