muumi’s! Happy Trans day of visibility!!🏳️‍⚧️

as a trans nonbinary lesbian i hope all my trans siblings feel loved & seen today & this blog is always a safe space for you !

here are some photos from the 80th Anniversary edition of “The Moomins Find a Home” - this edition includes all new pop ups & it may be my favorite moomin book i own right now! here are some of my favorite pages :)

also i have changed my username from moominpup to moomeowmin (moomin + meow) because i am going to start streaming & creating moomin content on twitch + youtube & this username matches the rest of my socials for it - sorry for the confusion in advance! i’ve also started watermarking my photos as i do not mind people using my photos elsewhere as long as i have credit - i hope the marks aren’t too annoying i’ve tried to making them semi unnoticeable

happy day to you all & protect trans kids & people !

Why does this cover have so many characters on it that aren’t actually in the book????? I…

This month’s read for the Tove Jansson #Moomin80 readalong I’m doing with Liz is one which I missed on my first read of the books many moons ago. In fact, I only picked it up in 2017 on a trip to London and didn’t actually get round reading it until October 2023! It’s a collection of short stories entitled “Tales from Moominvalley” (translated by Thomas Warburton) and it makes interesting reading…

Well, we’ve come to the fifth book of my readalong with Liz to celebrate #Moomin80 and that’s “Moominsummer Madness” by Tove Jansson, translated here by Thomas Warburton.

I took a look back at my review and will quote myself a little here: “(The book) is a strange one (well, they all are…
