Okay. So in Danmark we have this concept called a "kvaje kage", which literally means "screw-up cake". Essentially, it's when you've screwed up in either your place of work or any other cultural context, and you need to "atone" by bringing cake the next day. It's very common here. But, some bakers also make some form of cake or pastry that they call a kvaje kage, and well, this one Danish baker just made these lol

Donald Trump kvaje kage. Both to be used as a kvaje kage, but also because, well, Trump is quite the kvaj himself lol. Oh, and these kvaje kager are a play on the type of pastry/cake we have in Danmark called "Kaj kage" that looks like this

Kaj is one half of quite the cultural institution here in Danmark: the extremely popular children's show characters called Kaj & Andrea

Kaj & Andrea originally ran from 1971-1975, and then again from 1996-2007, and they were IMMENSELY popular here. Both my parents and then me and my siblings grew up with them, and you've been able to buy Kaj & Andrea plushies ever since the show first started (and most kids here had both of them at some point or another)

Anyways, context probably wasn't needed, but I just thought tumblr might find this funny 😄

Paul Gustav Fischer pintor danés (1860-1934) nació en Copenhague, Dinamarca Pertenecía a la cuarta generación de una familia judía originaria de Polonia. Su padre había comenzado como pintor, pero luego tuvo éxito en el negocio de la fabricación de pinturas y lacas. Su educación artística formal duró poco tiempo a mediados de su adolescencia cuando pasó dos años en la Real Academia Danesa de Arte en Copenhague. Fischer comenzó a pintar cuando aún era joven, guiado por su padre. Fue gracias a una pintura que había publicado en Ude og Hjemme que su reputación comenzó a evolucionar a medida que entró en contacto con jóvenes naturalistas daneses. Sus pinturas anteriores representan la vida de la ciudad. Por esta razón, se le ha llamado "pintor de Copenhague" (Københavns maler). Después de una estancia en París de 1891 a 1895, sus colores se hicieron más ricos y claros. No pasó mucho tiempo antes de que Fischer ganara fama como pintor de ciudades, no solo de Copenhague, sino de escenas de Escandinavia, Italia y Alemania, alcanzando su cenit entre 1890 y 1910

VENDELBO HATSUNE MIKU JAAAAAAAA 🇩🇰🛵🍺⚫💰

A friend of mine and I brainstormed over how a Danish Hatsune Miku (but specifically from Northern Jutland) would look like and behave. The jumpsuit, (illegal) moped, and Grøn Tuborg beer was a must. Everything else sort of fell in place afterwards. This depiction is so, so real. I have family that look and speak like this lol

Apropos speaking, in case you're wondering about what she's saying; she's complaining about taxes. I wanted to be sure the sentence in Vendelbomål is spelled correct, and so I used Vendsysselsk ordbog by Arne Espegaard.... which was a total of 4 entire books to go through, but worth the effort!

The blue/orange/green flag is Vendelbrog, the local flag around here.

@xgergo

This is technically correct!

This is the meaning of the word, historically speaking, although it's not how we say it today. Today, it's been abbreviated. Here's a good video explanation, which is why I'm answering your post in a separate post, as I could not reply with the video

No high-pitched, battle-cry belting, still a man.

Hej Nordiska vänner and everybody

There is a thing called Runeberg.org that is like Project Gutenberg, but focusing on Nordic texts. They have scans of old books, from which a computer has extracted the text, and that automatic text needs to be proofread and corrected to match the scanned page.

Its a lot of stuff in Swedish but also plenty other languages too (Danish and Norwegian and Finnish, but also German, French, English, Latin...)

So if you wanna do some volunteer good work in the world you can help out with the proofreading. It's all done in the browser, I've been doing it on the phone, so it really doesn't take anything special.

Some stuff is in blackletter, which can be hard to read if youre not used to it, but there's also stuff in more modern fonts.

Here are the instructions in how to do it:

I'm currently proofreading a Finnish translation of Danish stories from the 1800s. You can arrange the titles according to language, so you can find the ones you can read.

There are at least a couple of "English-speaking person travels in Sweden and describes what's there" -books that are in English in the time period I looked at.
