Käy se kauppa ulkonakin kun viedään toimitilat alta.

Kertoo paljon nykyhetkestä ja -rakentamisesta kun tilalle tulevasta 'sisustamisenliikkeestä' ei saa ensimmäistäkään hyllyä kirjoille mutta polyesteriverhoja enemmänkin peittämään kotien ylisuuria ikkunoita.

Luulin, että @hs.fi on päättänyt luopua klikkiotsikoista, mutta silti tämä maantieteellinen epämääräistäminen vain jatkuu.

Maassa on 22 lentokenttää ja metsää jokapaikassa. Vanhoja metsiä Etelä-Suomessa ei niinkään taajaan.

Finally to the summer conferences. Nice to be in Aarhus again.

What a wonderful May.

How's it going in the markets?

Ensi viikolla Kiimaliiterissä sarja poikki. Ja jos jostain syystä ei mene ykkösellä niin aina voi myydä mökin täyteen toisenkin kerran.

Täytyy sanoa suoraan, että jos SaiPan faneja ei olisi eilen ollut Nordiksella niin Svenska Teaternin kanttiinissakin olisi ollut enemmän tunnelmaa.

The last in line fears they are not famous enough for the flight out from tyranny.

Was listening to Basement Jaxx - Where's Your Head At when I remembered taking this photo a while back in Denmark.

Municipal and regional elections are coming in Finland and somehow the canditate surveys are pushed also to gender boundaries and other right-wing identity politics.

ESS asked Europeans about masculinity last year and seems that in Nordics, esp. Finland, there's no need to compensate anything.

Kohta 20 vuotta siitä kun Aaltolan juttuihin törmäsin. Pyörittelin silmiä jo silloin hänen analyyseistään, kun en vain ymmärtänyt miten tämä 'male gaze' liittyi lentoasemien globalisaatioon millään tavoin.

Mihinkä sitä tiikeri raidoistaan pääsisi myöhemminkään?

Excellent geographical defence going on at @helsinki.fi talking about art-in-between and Becoming-otherwise. How do we encounter and 'be' with others regardless of distance an because of it?

Jos nyt aloitetaan nimeämään paikkoja uudelleen.

A day when the landscape seemed to change to something more dramatic.

Today's mood.

Hogwarts Legacy is an action role-playing game staged in the late nineteenth century. Most of the plot works through and like magic but I am amazed how the European map looks pretty much contemporary.

The Finnish record temp. 37.2 C was set in July 2010. The intense heatwave came into contact with a colder front, resulting in enormous downburst winds cutting the forest like a series of sticks. The scars in the landscape are still visible, like the border (for differiring forestry practices).

Hometown and Saimaa sure look perfect for skating.

Aulanko - one of my favorite places in Finland, and a perfect place to do some stairs.

Now that entire landscape is covered in half a meter of snow.

The last strawberry of the extraordinarily long 'summer'. +10 outside yesterday at 19.00. in Helsinki, and I've never heard about November strawberries since its more common to have half-meter of snow by now. The warm Baltic Sea is stubbornly extending the autumn.

Happy to see this gone before it's merged with or to Fake Social.

Finnish societal challenge in one mp4. The share of people living in a family has gradually diminished from 81 % to 71 % during the last 31 years. Older generations more frequently live alone, and the widening loneliness among Finns in their 20s is creating commitment issues and delaying decisions.
