Arbeiderpartiets fotsoldater på Bislett var mest opptatt av vinklinga pp gruppeselfien da jeg gikk forbi dem i morges. Det er viktig å posere for meningene sine! #kommunevalg2019 #valgkamp

In July 2018, a horrifying video began to circulate on social media.

2 women & 2 young children are led away by a group of soldiers. They are blindfolded, forced to the ground, and shot 22 times.

#BBCAfricaEye investigated this atrocity. This is what we found...

9 september 1910 flyttade Alice B Toklas in för gott hos författaren Gertrude Stein. De hade mötts 3 år tidigare när Toklas ankom till Paris. De drev tillsammans i deras hem den salong som samlade många av dåtidens avantgarde-konstnärer. De levde ihop fram till Steins död 1946.

When you work with books, there is nothing quite so pleasing as a complete series of novels all lined up in a row. But what order to file them in?

Your head says numerical. Your inner librarian says alphabetical. BUT YOUR HEART SAYS RAINBOW ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

I’ve gotten the habit of keeping a spare outfit at the office. This week it’s a #polkadot #t_shirt #pleated #skirt and a #cardigan. Way to perpetuate the stereotype. Also note the emergency #umbrella with #owls. #librarianfashion

@Ruter Takk for rask tilbakemelding! Jeg kom vel hjem med en annen trikk.

[Sissel Gram Mikus @sisselgram]

Stor forvirring når trikken mot Rikshospitalet plutselig svingte ned Parkveien og ble trikken til Ljabru. Hva skjer @ruter?
