This #Finnish #tradition is called #virpominen. It means that #children dress as witches and knock at neighbours' doors while carrying salix tree branches decorated with colourful feathers and crêpe paper. They pronounce a blessing rhyme and leave a branch as gift, while receiving sweets in return. "I'm wishing you a fresh, healthy upcoming year, a branch for you, a reward for me!" #easter #palmsunday #finland #suomimastodon
I wish there was a way to translate how pertinent this Eppu Normaali song is.

Especially these lines:
"The world is sinking in despair and shit,
and the finest weapon can't conquer it."
In #Finnish it's kinda purposefully stupid rhyming... but it's also something that sticks. For 40 years, for starters. And it nails it.
Also a brilliant song.
I know that @jussi just hates it. But listen to the fucking _song_... Give it a chance! (Before apocalypse.)
A language where words are easily confused can be confusing. Finnish, however, is perfectly easy to understand:
palaa = something returns; something burns; many pieces
kuusi = spruce tree; the number six; your moon
One might say "kuusi palaa" when one wants six pieces of sugar in one's tea, the spruce tree is on fire; or to tell someone their moon will come back. These are not situations that are easily confused with other.
This rock 'n roll track brings my soul back to where I once lost it: #Helsinki.
#Ruby on Iso Roobertinkatu, I love the #Finnish atmostphere.
Thanks to model Satu Rapp and photographer Tarja Anttonen for all the help!

Made this for the arcade. Says "Watch out for playing adults", a jab at very similar yard sign around here that says to watch out for playing kids.

My language family tree.
Now almost all of this is russified.
With contemporary Russians claiming ”slavic heritage” of many cultural artefacts developed by Finno-Ugrians.
That’s how empire works.

Looks like the #NBA will have to learn a new #Finnish name, now that the #Grizzlies have a Finnish coach.
It's gonna be EE-sa-lo to account for the double i. Like Figaro.
It'll only take a week or so, the #NBA community has been great about foreign names.

These remind me a lot of a similar style of jokes in #Turkish/Middle Eastern culture.

She is making #Finnish culture sound very autist-friendly! People don't expect small talk?! Count me in!
Edit: she's only reinforcing my view!

I'd love it if people would stop sitting next to me on the bus. I'm not kidding, I will be the only one on the deck and some idiot will insist on sitting next to me. There is a literal empty deck, why you going out your way to sit next to me, you freak? This middle aged guy did that to me once when I was the only one upstairs and I was about 18, so I looked 12. Creep.
And yeah, I don't care if they take it personally when I get up and move seats. In fact, they should take it personally.

Very #Finnish problems

Geoff #Bennett spoke with #Finnish #President Alexander #Stubb about the agreement, the ongoing threat from #russia and broader #USA - #Europe relations.
