should i do a thread of my fave finnish tacky pop hits of 2018 🤔 bc there are A LOT and the fact that most of the world will never hear them is a TRAVESTY 💔
ppl who actively dislike tacky pop hits...just say you hate fun and go
OK I'M GONNA DO IT but it's almost 1AM so i'm prob just gonna post a couple now and do the rest tomorrow. i'm gonna focus on songs with finnish lyrics 💖 prepare yourselves
i'm starting with the best thing to come out 2018, no matter what anyone releases for the rest of the year nothing will top this, i'm calling it now, the peak has been reached

ofc i'm talking aboutttt......
Jätkäjätkä-Ville by Tuure Boelius

tuure's only 17 and already he's given finland more than straight guys will do in their whole lifetimes. it's a carefree song abt making out with a hot closeted hockey player dude and living your best life

there was a whole mess with homophobes acting like this "defaces the symbols of the finnish hockey team" (finland is p fucked up abt ice hockey) but it's being played on the radio nonstop and tuure's strong so all they can do is cry abt it
I LOVE TUURE SO MUCH. HE'S LIKE A SON TO ME. I WILL PROTECT HIM WITH MY LIFE.
Muurit by Ilta

an upbeat song abt being stronger together and tearing down walls and not being afraid of anything as long as we're together anddd that kinda stuff 💖💖💖 the music video's cute too!

[CONTENT WARNING FOR SEX starts]

the next one's gonna need some background: every summer finnish radio station ylex releases a song abt the importance of wearing condoms. the artist is different every year but all of the songs are abt safe sex in one way or another
it's called the #kesäkumibiisi ("summer rubber song" lol) and the campaign also includes a shit ton of free condoms that are given out at music festivals
this may sound kinda awkward but it's actually so much fun?? the artists are good, the songs can be absolute BANGERS, and having one of the summer hits that are playing nonstop be abt remembering condoms every year is...rly good????
ofc there are exceptions, there have been some god awful kesäkumibiisi's in the past but i'm just....gonna ignore those for the sake of this thread lol
#kesäkumibiisi2018 is....

Kumipuku by Antti Tuisku!

it's a song abt having fun sex? plus surprise inclusion of us non-binary folks! he sings abt guys and girls AND people who "don't fit in either box" just like that!!!💖 (the mv's kinda bad...though...)

Tyynysotaa by Vilma Alina, Nelli Matula, Sini Yasemin & Ida Paul

#kesäkumibiisi2017! i have like...a huge crush on all these women so this collab was like...TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE...this is the best finnish song to come out of 2017 hands down...i'm gay...
there are so many amazing female popstars in finland rn, singing abt all that empowering shit and DOING GAY STUFF TOO... vilma alina and sini yasemin both have songs abt having crushes on girls 🙈❤❤❤ which i should probably post too lol. but first! 2015!
Kesärenkaat by Robin

#kesäkumibiisi2015 this is probably the most important one bc it's by a teen for other teens! the mv has scenes of him talking about sex with his parents and them giving him the condoms and that's! so! good! for a teenager to see!

like srsly normalizing sex as something that can be discussed abt with grown ups is! such a good message! and for parents too, to see a relationship where giving your kids condoms is a normal and good thing to do! i love this mv and song so. fucking. much.
oh and robin is national treasure, he rose to fame when he was only 13, his demographic was mostly kids and he was such a good role model and idol, like he doesn't have a single album that doesn't have an anti-bullying song
he got tired of the hassle of being a celebrity and working through his teens and ended his career last autumn, had a goodbye song and a final tour and is now off living a chill non-popstar life like he deserves ❤ i love him sfm i will DIE PROTECTING HIM.
(every friday night i light a candle and pray that he'll feel like doing a comeback tour when he's like 30 and finland will get to relive the joy he brought us honestly i love robin so m u c h my son)
i got a bit carried away there huh well it's robin...what do u expect...

i also like rlllly have to go to bed now, i'll continue this thread tomorrow!💖💖💖 thanks for your replies i'm just...too tired...to answer them now...will do tomorrow💖💖💖
(ooop i forgot to end the content warning)

Earlier in the week I shared some little graphics looking for people to participate in my research here in Finland. I'm still reall eager to hear from anyone who thinks they might be Abe to help, or who knows someone who might be able to help.
Keeping that in mind, a very kind translator friend ran up these two graphics in Swedish and Finnish for me so that they might have a wider reach! Feel free to copy, paste, share! Also, as ever, DM are open on my personal account @GaRoDean
Last tweet had a typo with my personal account, fml.

Today is my last day on this account. It’s been an *interesting* week to be in Helsinki. It’s an interesting time to be a PhD candidate who’s focus is minority rights.
I did a masters in International Human Rights Law in Åbo. I’m very glad to have learned so much about human rights in a country so dedicated to upholding common human rights and facilitating peace.
It was here in Finland that I was inspired to pursue a PhD in minority language rights. I had seen so many comparisons between the status of Irish in Ireland and the status of Swedish in Finland and I found it so interesting.

CURSE OF KNOWLEDGE:
This is a powerful cognitive bias, and the one that's probably most responsible for you staying stuck in your dead-end way of doing things instead of breaking out.

What is it?
The mind's inability to remember what it was like to not know something.
At first glance you may think this is a relatively unimportant thing. Completely harmless.

But it's robbing you of your freedom. Here's how.

To understand, we're going to use an example from my life: Magic Tricks.

I'm a professional mentalist; I've performed in Vegas.
I know how the mind works, and I understand why the simple methods of magic are so powerful; they leverage exactly these kinds of mental hiccups. So, here's the example.

I do a trick, and you want to know how it works. You'll do ANYTHING. Pay me $100, even. Great! Pay up!

Yesterday's indictment is a major signal that we're nearing the end of the #TrumpRussia prologue.

I interviewed @Mimirocah1 about the story which she said indicates that "prosecutors are putting the pieces together."

I agree.

Here's my $0.02.

Why is Natalia Veselnitskaya's link to the Kremlin so important?

1 - SDNY provides Mueller with apolitical evidence sent from the target that predates all investigations.
2 - Proves Don Jr. met a Kremlin Agent
3 - Burns the Russian prosecution against @Billbrowder

2/
Natalia Veselnitskaya had been working on the Prevezon case for years, but in 2014 she involved herself drafting of the official response to the DoJ's invocation of a treaty for legal assistance.

She sent the evidence that she worked with the Kremlin to SDNY prosecutors.

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

Been dating on and off for a while and i wanted to share some of my insights as to why alot of relationships dont work. #Thread
We meet amazing people and we generally like them within days. We go on fancy dates. Talk nonstop for hours and maybe steal kiss or two.
We start to have feelings and the dates start to be frequent, we hang out with other members of our social circle and invariably its almost like we are now in a relationship.

Tragically what the #CorruptGOP doesn't seem to get is that because they are not dealing in facts, & they are propagating falsehoods to their base, an entire generation of Republican voters, workers, apparachik's at every level; the U.S.A. loses ultimately. There are
People basing real decisions, at real jobs- both public & private sector-on false information. We have the most powerful military, biggest Economy, in the most industrialized nation in the world making Domestic & Foreign Policy based on fasle information.
This can & will end only one of two ways. Either we reverse course before catastrophic consequence or we experience what could be the most catastrophic multi-national event that has occurred since WW2 & the most grave consequences since our Nation's inception nearly 300 yrs ago.
