Feel better primp

I just finished reading this and thought it was really fun. Someone remind me to tell you all that in six months when it’s relevant

Sometimes when I get up to speak at a funeral, and start with "The family has asked me to say a few words", members of the family will yell and say that's not true. And it's like buddy, I go to a lot of funerals, a ton, and heckling is super inappropriate funeral behaviour.

(opening a big container of lunch that you know you’ll get leftovers from) Tomorrow’s lunch…today.

Finnish excellence

Genuinely it’s like learning a new language. It’s amazing any of you understand what meal you’re about to have

Calling lunch dinner is so funny. Culture is beautiful thank you so much for explaining to me

I picture it as tea + cakes and little sandwiches. Basically Jane Austen stuff. So I was thrilled to hear about your Thai green curry little sandwiches

Perhaps you can answer a question I’ve always wondered about. Is tea equivalent to lunch or dinner, or are British people having four meals a day?

You’re on your way to HEL

Many people would read this booking confirmation message as a threat

RT! Didn’t the end make you 🥹🥺

I’ve been alive for what seems like years

Costco Connection magazine just published a full article about why and how to stop your car

Kuvat näyttävät | Päälle neljä tuntia ja noin 8 000 askelta: Espoolaismies tamppasi taideteoksen lammen jäälle Nuuksiossa Lumitaiteilija Janne Pyykkö luo taideteoksia, joita täytyy ihailla korkealta katsoen.

Reminds me of this display from the Finnish history museum a couple of years ago

Don’t give away my secret but they’re the perfect souvenir: they pack easily, people actually use them, you can’t really get them here, and they’re like $5

I’ll get you one in the spring

There is no item of clothing, no quirky, expensive, fun, or otherwise remarkable accessory I could ever purchase that will get me more comments & compliments on American streets than this Moomin bag I bought at the grocery store for €3

Omg just saw the news and came to congratulate you!

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

I had to change my password for work and instead I got locked out of all my accounts. After confirming with my boss and IT that I wasn’t fired I’ve been having a lovely little afternoon off while they work to fix it

Wire mommy seems colder than usual. Wonder what I did to disappoint her.

I happened upon the bullfrog in a tweed suit whose land I live on, by the river today. He told me his ancestors should have never moved into coal, "a dirty business." I said that coal built two wings on the grand house. "Hard to fly without wings" he replied and puffed his pipe.

It rhymes with pals btw. But I’ll never correct you. I answer to the other pronunciations as well

Suomeks vai englanniks?

Do you know them now?

Feels bad 😟
