There's this sketching paper I've been using for years, and it just has the best grain, and now I can't find it anywhere locally and ordering online comes with almost 20 euro postal fee.. I will try to finish my current illustration project with the sheets I have left. Broke #illustrator problems 😅

Oho! I said when I checked the status of my application to the doctoral program in design at Aalto university. I was already planning how to move on from a rejection, but I was accepted! I'm going to be doing practice-based #designresearch and I could not be more excited (and a bit scared).

Today when I took the bus to go swimming I saw a pride flag on a balcony and felt happy. There’s been depressing anti gay and trans news recently and seeing a display of solidarity felt like an antidote. Also saw smiling happy people in the center or #turku 💜 Lets keep spreading joy and not hate ok?

Nästa regering I Finland måste ta klimatkrisen på större allvar än den nuvarande - det anser kanslicheferna vid ministerierna inför den kommande valrörelsen. Ingen talar nedvärderande om oron för krig så varför tala förklarande om klimatoro, frågar Hbl:s ledarskribent.

We watched Jim Jarmusch’s film Paterson yesterday and it made my 20 year old say he wants to throw his phone away and start writing in a notebook instead. We agreed that the absolutely best movies inspire us to make art ourselves. #film #filmsky #poetry

Current crochet/knitting projects! A pink scrap yarn blanket that my older daughter commissioned, a violet knitted sweater for my son, a large granny square blanket. And the big bag of yarns at my feet in the living room. My son is choosing a sunday movie for us. #knitsky #crochet #knitting #yarn

Uärgh gjorde misstaget att öppna kommentarsfältet på De Grönas kvinnodags-inlägg på Facebook. Verkade till 99 % vara hatiska kommentarer. Antar att en del av det där är koordinerat trollande. Men det är fascinerande hur feminism är så provocerande för högerextrema. Fast inte så överraskande heller.

Beautiful weather today 🩵 I was out for grocery shopping and errands. But otherwise I’m stuck at the laptop all day working on an exiting research proposal with a very fast deadline 😅 If that all goes well I hope to be able to start a new large research related undertaking later this year ✍️

As someone who works with design in social&healthcare education in Finland I have to say the recent choice for minister for the sector makes me feel like throwing up. The ”True Finns” are detrimental for health&welfare in this country. They only care about playing a political game with this choice.

This is totally unsurprising to me. And gives all the proof you need if someone claims patriarchy doesn’t exist or ”feminism has gone too far”. It’s like this ”at the top” and you just need to look at internet a bit to see it’s the same structure almost everywhere www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

The electricity prices this year will cause a lot of stress to many. Luckily our costs are normally quite low, but the Jan bill was already double. So far at 7.2 the costs are already up to 75 % of a normal month. So i’m guessing it will end up being 3x higher in Feb 😖 #pörssisähkö

I tried Claude today and made a meditation webpage with visuals and ambient sounds. I guess this is vibe coding? I'm not a programmer, but I've made an html page from scratch in 2003. This way was so simple.. and fun! Now I get the hype about how this will change programming as an occupation...

Pulling myself through this day with flu symptoms and migraine and a totally full schedule and organizing a public event in the evening. It will be fun I’m sure, and I really don’t want to miss it as the main organizer, but my body is like 🫠😓 Also not sure if my voice will last through the evening 😅

I just realized what my theme will be for a next solo exhibition. I might have time to have one in 2027 😅 This year my artistic/freelance work will be mainly focused on illustrations for another history book. I'm just getting started on that more properly after some research done last year.

Yesterday we were presenting our work in Vaasa, and a guy complimented the graphics I had done in a previous project and I was like ”thank you! 😌🙏” and then the guy also complimented me for taking a compliment well and not being like ”oh it’s nothing 🤭” which evidently is more typically Finnish 🤔

The madman speaks. His energy is erratic. The room is silent. The fact that his delusional personally tinged screed comes one day after Carney's lucid, eloquent and grounded messaging must be a much starker comparison to those in the room than it is to me. It's a Holy Shit moment for the world.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Davos on hiljentynyt kuuntelemaan Yhdysvaltain presidenttiä. On pitkä ilta edessä myös faktantarkistajilla. Jos tavallinen työntekijä pitäisi tämäntapaista sekoilevaa puhetta työpaikallaan, esihenkilöt eittämättä ohjaisivat kyseisen ihmisen hienovaraisesti mutta päättäväisesti työterveyteen.

I’m also extremely disappointed in the leaders who were there listening and sat quietly, gave him a standing ovation (?!) and then just carried on like there’s nothing wrong. It’s terrible wrong and dangerous that this kind of person receives any attention at all on a world stage.

After being mostly inactive on instagram for a year I can say it does feel a bit isolating. But at the same time it’s a relief to not think about what to post there. I still have to use it as part of work (communication&marketing). Sometimes I miss posting random photos and little life updates..

I think Oneohtrix Point Never is a new music favorite now. My kids introduced me to it by adding into our family playlist. The most recent playlist is currently 22 h 19 minutes long 😅😂 Btw we listen to the playlist together a lot too, and have nerdy music discussions. It’s heaven.

And today leaving Hyvinkää. My dad is doing a bit better each day, but he had (still has?) ICU delirium which is scary and weird. Probably I’ll be going more often to my birth town now as my parents might need more support after this recent health crisis. We’ll see.

Saw the last ep. of #pluribus first season. Made me think of the increasing use of LLMs. Speaking to the "others" in Pluribus is a bit like conversations with Chat GPT? Anyway, not sure the analogy holds, but our increasing communication with AI could almost be seen as an invasion of our minds...

Took the fam to see my brother in Sweden, and we came back to -20 degrees. I barely took pictures, only of the full moon. The kids bought vinyls at Bengans on Drottninggatan and I took them to see the exhibition at Fotografiska. We barely slept on the boat so everyone was exhausted. Home sweet home.

Finished #strangerthings and I have to say the end hits pretty hard when you’re about the same age as the Holly character and played #roleplayinggames about 1990-2000. I’ve tried a few times to keep playing as an adult, but it’s been impossible to create time, place and a group for it…
