I Was Once At One Of The Busier Stops Of The 510 Bus Line (one Of The Busier Lines In Helsinki) And On

I saw this too and it's about half a kilogram of THC per day per capita. Tallin as a whole would need around 750 million kilograms of THC yearly...

or about this much.

Residents of Tallinn apparently are all cannabis georg who smoke *checks notes* 48 480 blunts a day (per person), according to Helsingin Uutiset

Im trying to get somewhere but my cat just decided to snuggle up against me.

... I guess im not going

I woke up with a cold the next day

To me, one of the core finland experiences is walking a long ass distance in the dead of night in freezing temperatures, on a quest to find the nearest bus stop that actually runs this late.

Just did that (still like 40 minutes away from home, but in the relatively warm bus now (bus also an integral part of the experience)) and I haven't felt more finnish in a while.

4) from what I've learned from all the queer spaces I've been in, the boxes dont actually exist and the best spaces are the ones that dont put you into a box, and you kind of forget that the boxes exist in the first place. Straight is just another sexuality, and a queer space that doesnt make a divide between cishet and queer people feels usually the most comfortable. Just people facing each other as people, not as members of a gender or a sexuality.

Now that I read this again it doesnt actually read like an added point to this list, more just me dumping my thoughts. I kinda like it that way.

I'm kind of at a point where the "queer spaces" i feel safest in are the ones that have a pet cishet dude or two hanging around

well maybe YOUR language, that is WEIRD and FOREIGN, does that, but MY language, that is PERFECT, makes complete sense and is perfectly understandable, and is also the default and best way of experiencing the human life.

Why does like every language do things with their R sounds that nobody else understands

I fucking do that xdd. A few tips to climbing trees in public spaces:

1. uhh you can do it at night. This of course depends on where you live, if you can go out at night safely, but where I live night is the most peaceful time to go out, and no one is awake to judge.

2. if you dont give enough of a shit you can do it during daytime as well. You'd be surprised at how many people just flat out dont notice you being in a tree.

3. you can pick up bouldering / climbing as a hobby. Goes without saying that this costs money, but learning to climb as a hobby really opens up so many different trees you didnt even think to climb before. Its also a really fun way to exercise, just grabbing those colourful blocks and getting higher. Also makes you less likely to fall off a tree and more capable of taking falls, so overall just safer.

i keep forgetting that most adults simply grow too tall to play on the playground and it no longer fits them. that + the contempt for play so many societies have makes having fun exercise difficult.

but anyway people were commenting about how many new outside free gyms for adults are going up like ‘why can’t they just build adult sized playgrounds why even outside do we have to do the gym’ and it’s a fair point. they’ve got hanging bars and no jungle gym. climbing the stairs to a high slide is a workout with the slide reward. you could argue that children who are too small would attempt to use it and hurt themselves but there are already different sized playgrounds for children based on their age/growth.

the free outside gyms give you the same boring motions over and over and no room for imaginative play. it is possible (ofc) to find fun exercise but most examples (trampoline park, ninja warrior, rock climbing) are costly. they love to beat playing out of their people and then cry that no one is exercising.

I thought about something nice to post earlier but i forgog

When I am listening to songs in Finnish or whatever, I often get stuck up on translating some of the words to english. Not like in an "I cant think of a translation" kind of way, but in an "I wonder how translating this like that would affect the flow of the song" kind of way.

Anyways, today I was listening to a song that had the words "olen surullinen", or "I am sad" in English. I noted how the Finnish version is much longer than the English one, that "sad" translates to "surullinen", a much longer word.

Then I that rabbit hole of a thought went a bit further, and I realized that the the Finnish word for "sadness" is much shorter, "suru", even though it is longer in English.

A nice enough thought on its own, but the hole goes deeper. I went on to think about why this is, and realized that in English, the adjective "sad" is the base form from which the language derives the other forms. In Finnish though, the base form is "sadness", which basically is the essence of being sad, the noun, from which the language gets the other words. And from this perspective of having the noun be the base form, being sad could be interpeted as having the essence of being sad. Thats what the "-llinen" ending in "surullinen" (the adjective, the feeling) means, having something or similar.

Not really sure if there is a point to any of this, just reflecting on how different languages "think" and also discovering a part of why translating songs between English and Finnish is so hard.

I once killed a fly with my eyelids

Im catsitting two cats rn and they are just these two little rats running around yelling at each other.

One of them is chill about me

The other one is quite avoidant, basically taking the longest path from me, and then suddenly just climbing on my lap to purr and lick my hair, and then back to avoiding me.
