Random Finnish lessons:

When something goes wrong, we have multiple colloquial ways of expressing it. Going more for the vibes than the direct translation, you have:
"Nyt meni päin honkia" - This took a turn and went straight into the trees
"Nyt meni pieleen" - You have hit the side instead of the middle where you were aiming for
"Nyt meni vituiksi" - Now you fully fucked it up
"Nyt meni höpöksi" - Poppycocked it up, love

Mä oon kaksikielinen. Viiton suomalaista viittomakieltä ja puhun suomea.

Lapsuuteni oli aika erikoinen kielten osalta. Kotona emme juurikaan viittoneet lainkaan perheen kesken ja kun olin arkipäivinä toisessa kaupungissa peruskoulussa, niin siellä viitoin pelkästään ja enkä puhunut lähes ollenkaan. Tämä aiheutti osaltaan jonkinlaisen persoonan kahtiajakautumisen. Kotona olin eri ihminen kuin koulussa/asuntolassa kieli-identiteetin vuoksi.

Vaikka kotona emme viittoneet, kävi meillä kuitenkin viittomakielen opettaja opettamassa minulle suomalaista viittomakieltä, kun olin hirmu pieni. Minulla oli myös samaan aikaan kuulokojeet käytössä ja yritin siinä sitten opetella puhumaankin.

#NATO exercise NORDIC RESPONSE 24 is happening.

#Finnish and #Swedish forces linked together, crossed Finnish borders and carried out operations to the Finnish border with #russia. They were the main body, but other Nordic countries had elements present and participating.

German troops are also in the mix.

At least two major #European paint companies continue to do extensive business in #Russia. #Finnish #Tikkurila and #Dutch #AkzoNobel remain the largest manufacturers of paints and coatings in the aggressor country, and the end users of their products include Russian government agencies, along with entities working in #Russian-occupied areas of #Ukraine.

The companies’ Russian operations have been aided by imports of ingredients that fall on the #EU's sanctions list.

So it's the presidential election night.

Going to finish tomorrow's lecture slides, contribute to a shared opinion piece, peep the coverage on the elections, eat some crackers and cheese, and self-medicate with some .

Looks like we're heading for a run-off with Stubb (centre-right Kokoomus) and Haavisto (greens Vihreät) in the next 2 weeks. As expected.

Finland’s successful approach to ending #homelessness catches eye of Quebec City | Globalnews.ca https://globalnews.ca/news/10198145/quebec-finland-successful-approach-homelessness-model/ “The #Finnish model is simple, he said: give people quality, permanent #housing before attempting to address other issues — such as alcohol and drug use, or mental health problems — or helping people find jobs

“That’s really the fundamental idea of our policy, if we give people a home, there will be very positive side-effects,” Vartiainen said.”

An old #historical building used to be a hospital of the reservist troop 8 in 1883-1899 in Ikaalinen #Finland. A forest is covered with crown snowload (tykkylumi in #Finnish). Piki the dog is looking at a shelter covered with #snow. #winterwonderland #suomimastodon It was difficult to find correct words in English. I hope I said this right. 🤔

The old wooden house is otherwise painted red, but the porch is yellow.
This kind of snow on branches is called tykylumi in Finland (crown snowload)
A dog on a leash looks at the hut. The hut is available to everyone and you can make a campfire inside of it. The forest is covered with snow.
