Re: all the weird Fosse hate. It’s always one of two things: either he’s a symptom of toxic masculine “brodernism” OR proof of the creeping Scandinavian feminization of literature. Can't just say “not for me” without making JF fit into your cherished resentment fantasy

Kor høg var Ivar Aasen då han var 26 år? Svaret får vi no. Han var 161,5 cm. Ibsen var til samanlikning 162 cm. #festspela #grenselaust

For a short while, this was the door sign outside professor in Old Norse philology Odd Einar Haugen's office at the University of Bergen. In this sign, he is titled "professor of old stuff".
