Unjust society is unsustainable -> democracy is non-negotiable.

Sustainability transition & modeling circular economy @ Finnish Environmental Institute (Syke) as a profession; defence of Finland and democracy as a hobby.

That person is now hailed by the Finland’s Jewish community as their friend, which is in many ways very, very sad. Not to mention that his party’s first choice for the post was this guy.

This is a staggeringly low ratio. #Casualty or #WIA to #KIA ratio has generally been about 3:1 to 4:1 (25% to 20% of casualties are killed).

Even in ancient battles, maybe 2.1-2.2. (Ofc estimates are uncertain, WIA esp.)

This is my favorite dialogue from Casablanca. Tells such a story with so little.

Posters from the 1947 recruitment campaign "Enough!" of the Finnish Social Democratic Party.

"Enough
False promises
Price hikes
Forced [gunpoint] democracy"

Amed at Communists, who threatened to take power after WW2.

Moderately amusing fact: the Finnish Army stopped issuing bayonets and has never issued a combat knife of any kind “because every man is expected to bring his own puukko.”

Päivitin joutessani kaavioni Suomen velkaantumisesta, nyt velka-asteen muutoksena ja mukana pääministeripuolueen lisäksi myös valtiovarainministerin puolue!

Puolueet sen mukaan, kuka on ollut vuoden alussa vallassa. Joku viitseliäämpi voinee tehdä tarkemmankin

Probably my favorite of the ones that translate. As I learned in the university, you can have alcohol without fun.

There’s this very weird and usually untranslatable Finnish comic we enjoy a lot. It had a perfect take on this:

These #cat designs by Mustakissa Design (Black Cat Design, appropriately!) are just fantastic. In case you need, say, gift ideas.

Oh and the guys in pink overalls are of my tribe: mechanical engineering students at the Aalto University. For reasons lost to time and alcohol, their heraldic color is pink.

Pictured below is their mascot, an ex-Soviet DT-75B caterpillar “Tela-Vera” (“Tracked Vera”).

This is the entrance to the platforms at the Kamppi metro station in Helsinki, #Finland. Can you guess what the structure I highlighted is?

If you know, don’t spoil the fun please :)
