Sjón 🇺🇦🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

"Like Iceland itself, Sjón’s books are simultaneously tiny and huge, weird and normal, ancient and modern," @shamblanderson writes about the Icelandic novelist, whose wide-ranging work carries a whiff of the unreal. nytimes.com/2022/01/13/mag…

“The book is filled with events so mundane that they would normally not demand attention. Yet Halldór Laxness’s able hand pushes the pen until they are infused with tender mystery that makes us care for them all.”—@Sjonorama reviews “A Parish Chronicle” 4columns.org/sjon/a-parish-…

OUT NOW: ISSUE 390! Ania Szremski on “Daughter of Mother-of-Pearl” by Mandy-Suzanne Wong, Ed Halter on Ayoung Kim @MoMAPS1, @Sjonorama on “A Parish Chronicle” by Halldór Laxness, & @MelissEAnderson on the “Valentine’s Day Massacre” series @AnthologyFilm 4columns.org

Be the voice of the people of Iran today for their freedom, their rights, and their dignity so that tomorrow, when your voice needs to be heard, others will rise to speak for you. #freeiran #DigitalBlackoutIran

This is tonight in Tehran. People have taken over the streets. Iran is still under a total blackout. Only very few people have access to Starlink, and the regime is actively trying to jam and disrupt it. Despite everything, the streets are alive and the world is being kept in the dark. People are chanting: "Until the mullahs are dead, this homeland will not be free."

@JoyceCarolOates Happy New Year from Reverend Markús in Reykjavík.

WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE & ALL GOOD WISHES FOR 2026!

@MargaretAtwood I wonder which living author inspires that kind of thinking in younger writers? :-)

This is a pretty wild book! What if the population is 89 percent women, with only 11 percent men, raised like agricultural beasts and kept for breeding purposes only? With women divided into antagonistic cliques … yikes eh?

@elonmusk Still using "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" as a blueprint for what you're trying to achieve with your pal Trump and the guys from Project 2025? Sadly you'll have caused pain to innocent people on your way there, but once you get to the part in the bunker, the joke is on you.

Infiltration of the judiciary throughout The West is the greatest long con of the left

These days my heart beats with the Trans community in the UK and their allies. #TransRightsAreHumanRights @NotAPhaseOrg @TransLucent_Org @mygenderation

@AlisonMarin84 @atrupar Why do you come here looking for advice on that issue? There must be better places for that information elsewhere on the internet. But good luck with it.

"Compassion and kindness should not be the exception–it should be the founding principle within our society and within the women’s rights movement. It's absurd that some argue trans women do not deserve the same recognition and protection as other women." metro.co.uk/2025/03/31/tac…

@wood_tuck @PM_ViktorOrban @MLP_officiel Yeah, I guess it's a naughty word under the stone where you live.

@Sjonorama @PM_ViktorOrban @MLP_officiel Democracy 😂😂
