I've started the morning by transcribing more of granny's diaries and then sent another email to the military in Boden, with actual photos and scans of the diary pages that mention their barracks by name.

And now we wait

[feff@comicscamp.club]

@JenJen
Fingers crossed

[jenjen@mastodon.art]

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THE MILITARY HAS REPLIED.

[tezoatlipoca@mas.to]

@JenJen hurh. usually the military is all about drills.

[jenjen@mastodon.art]

Ohmygfufkcjdkfdlfk

I'm gonna get to borrow the keys for 4 DAYS.

I am given free access to a cultural heritage site in northern Sweden for 4 days

[jenjen@mastodon.art]

Soon *I* will become the keybearer

Now I just need keys to the ancient church (this one: https://youtu.be/dyPzq1Sey88?si=V0Vrg-hg3C89w8c-)

and then I'm the final boss of cultural keys

[shidokidoki@comicscamp.club]

@JenJen Gud dawg please don't end up in the news :'D

[helenmclaughlinart@mastodon.art]

@JenJen Probably no keys to the military base though. Most likely.

[jenjen@mastodon.art]

@shidokidoki I will be allowed next to items from like the 1700s or something

aaaahahahahhaha THE POWER

Oh god the responsibility.

[jenjen@mastodon.art]

@helenmclaughlinart For now.

[beaiouns@is.nota.live]

@JenJen damn, i thought this was a reply to the Swish thread and started microwaving popcorn

[shidokidoki@comicscamp.club]

@JenJen It's actually kind of terrifying if you think about it for too long.

[stiiin@infosec.space]

@JenJen @shidokidoki Jen sowing: "aaaahahahahhaha THE POWER"

Jen reaping: "Oh god the responsibility."

[curatedjenny@glammr.us]

@JenJen This level of excitement is honestly why I even work with heritage.

[jenjen@mastodon.art]

Thought you'd like to know that in between doing all of the Kickstarter fulfillment, I am also currently making a special playlist just for the buildings.

If I have the time and energy tonight, I am going to be doing a quick pre-travel chat with the Vloghalla peeps.

And as usual, a quick reminder that if you want to be added to the vloghalla, you can paypal me 15 quid and I'll share the playlist with you -

It's obviously a very niche interest

[jenjen@mastodon.art]

So far, it's two years worth of research and trip vlogging.

It's interesting to look back at the first ones where I'm really, really uncomfortable even attempting to vlog out in public.

Anyway, here is a little taster:

If you want in before I vanish off to Sweden again, you can paypal me £15: jennie.gyllblad@gmail.com

Okay, I gotta go eat now.

@JenJen
I had a similar experience once in Norway. "Hej, I'd like to visit the museum" - "Sure, it's down that road, here's the keys, please make sure to lock up and throw the keys into that postbox when you've seen enough"
It's somewhat overwhelming...

[jenjen@mastodon.art]

Behold, the textbook Impulsive ADHDer - not doing a crime, I promise

(Next Vloghalla is gonna take some editing )

[jenjen@mastodon.art]

Hey bb
Can i come inside your wagon

Content warning: train bothering clearly unmasked neurodiverse Swedes

(Very much needed a brief break to fuck around with some old friends)
