Runestone nr 213. Sweden, Östergötland, Linköping, Västerlösa.
The grave lid is decorated with runes as well what may be animal ornamentations. According to linguist Erik Brate, the material is gray granite but have later be determent to be limestone. It was found in 1729 when a graveyard was opened on the Church lands.
Unknown when the runes were to be made but may be late viking age 9000 - 1100 A.D.

Old icelandic:
Byrði betriberr-at maðr brautu aten sé mannvit mikit;auði betraþykkir þat í ókunnum stað;slíkt er válaðs vera.
Danish:
“Bedre Byrde
bærer ej Mand paa Vej
end meget Mandevid.
Bedre end Formue
det tykkes paa fremmed Sted.
Det er den Fattiges Frelse."
Norwegian:
"Betre byrdi
du ber ‘kje i bakken
enn mannavit mykje.
D'er betre enn gull
i framand gard;
vit er vesalmanns trøyst.”
Swedish:
Bättre börda
man bär ej på vägen
än mycket mannavett.
På främmande ort
går det framför guld.
Slikt är den torftiges tillflykt.“
English:
"Better burden
one does not carry on the road
than much wisdom
In a foreign place
it goes before gold.
Such is the refuge of the poor.”
Närkes runinskrifter 11.
How its writen:
biorn : auk : keiruatr : letu : resa : sten : þensa : eftiR :: eibiurn : faþur : sin : kuþ : hialbi selu : hans :,
How its said:
Biorn ok GæiRhvatr letu ræisa stæin þensa æftiR Æibiorn, faður sinn. Guð hialpi selu hans.
In swedish:
”Björn och Gervat läto resa denna sten efter Ebjörn, sin fader. Gud hjälpe hans själ”.
In English:
“Björn and Gervat let rise this stone after Ebjörn, his father. God help his soul. “
So yeah, Björn let rise this stone as to remeber his father Ebjörn. Simular to modern grave stones.
And as you can see this stone from the swedish "province” Närke (my home province) was writen by Christians. Christianity grow fast in scandinavia seens thay were very open to new gods (thay were like: we have so many, can’t hurt to add one more). For a long while Jesus was just seen as a new god in Asgard.
It is believed the runes were carved in the 11th century and the rune stone was after that first mentiond in writing in year 1667 in the documents of a local Priest.
Comic about trans men in the health care system I made for magazine Ottar last autumn! Please note that it presents a Swedish perspective unless stated otherwise, as it is mostly based on Swedish studies. I would however argue that it has implications on the state of healthcare for trans people in other places as well. Thank you so much Hedvig for translating this!

There are protests this weekend against Swedish Nato membership!
This post is meant to signal boost and encourage people to make their voices heard in what is supposed to be a democracy. It is possible to both condemn the horrible invasion of Ukraine and oppose future warcrimes and nuclear weapons.
If you are Swedish, live in Sweden or have Swedish followers, please spread this!

Mitt bidrag till Tecknaruppropet Moment2022 mot svenskt NATO-medlemsskap!
Det finns flera demonstrationer att gå på! 13 maj i Göteborg,14 maj i Malmöoch14 maj i Stockholm bland annat. Om du bor i en mindre ort finns det säkert initiativ där med!
Känner du dig rädd och ensam i krigshetsen? Det finns många olika organisationer som tar avstånd från NATO att organisera sig i! Kolla listan av vilka som är arrangörer till demonstrationer och se vilken organisation som passar dig! Det finns gemenskap och styrka i att göra motstånd tillsammans!
Är du förvirrad av vägvalet och vet inte var du står i NATO-frågan? Då rekommenderar jag exempelvis Svenska Freds hemsida där du kan hitta svar på frågor om NATO verkligen gör oss säkrare!
Context for my non-Swedish speaking followers: My piece for a protest against a Swedish NATO membership! It says “Don’t doomscroll - Organize!”
