in our series of finnish turns of phrase

a ruffe of the opposite shore - contrarian

be left/leave behind like a coween on an outcrop - be left/leave behind (in a particularly miserable manner)

evequibble:

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white,

Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;

And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.

Teasdale, Sara (1918), “There Will Come Soft Rains”

ive been thinking a lot about if there’s english equivalents to kot-kot one could make should someone make a translation with much creative liberty and i think im onto something (cursed)

for your consideration:

I don’t wanna slow dance and I don’t give a cluck-cluck-cluck

Please lay that afterpartweet-tweet-tweet

Where the hell is my flock-flock-flock?

“Big thanks to Käärijä for the surprise visit!
Many thanks also to our school’s parent association for the brilliant idea.
The visit brought tons of joy to our students and staff.
It’s wonderful to feel this kind of communal warmth that we have received around us.
One day at a time ❤️”

Hello all, I’ve been away! I went on an unexpected 24-hour trip to Helsinki and decided to put some photos of the event here. 🤩 🍍 🍹

Kot Kot update - It’s been 12 hours since I said I wasn’t gonna listen to Kot Kot again until my head is clear, but it’s like an itch that’s got to be scratched, so I’ve listened again this time with the Bose headphones and what a difference, listening through the Alexa speaker it sounded like two songs badly cut together, with the headphones I can hear little bits that make the song come together, and what on earth is that last bit!
