Juhannus / Midsommar. Midnight (0:27)

Bruh feels super wrong to have Midsummer TONIGHT. I also come from a family where we didn’t celebrate at all. I just grew up knowing Latvians do it like no other

I wrote about the Lithuanian Language INSPECTION(welcome to the dreamland of prescriptivists) essentially bullying Illative case (they claim it dead, people still use it, and if they use it in the media or ads, it’s demanded to be taken down. MY MATH TEACHER SHARED IT AND WROTE…

Atteicos no personvārdu pārlietuviskošanas savā rakstā. Korektore it kā ļāva pašai pieņemt lēmumu, taču pati acīmredzami deva priekšroku lietuviskošanai. Tas nozīmējot “latvieši mums brāļi”. Turpretī es gribēju, lai mans lasītājs redz garumzīmes, ņ un ļ. Lai gūglē!

Bird names be like

Bruh I slept in and missed a lesson I had to teach today. That’s a first and I am so freaking embarrassed.

Has there ever been a crown prince or princess that refused the throne, because they wanted to pursue academical career or have they all always enjoyed their ignorant bliss too much

Journalists who request an interview with me have no idea how awful I am at it, it makes me even sad 😆

Nigel Van Wieck (British, b.1947, now based in US) "Q Train," 1990 Pastel on paper 22 x 30 in #art #painting #artist #BlueSkyArt

It’s not. It was bulldozed and changed to “į + Accusative” :(

I want to repeat it: it was a direct hit. Russian drone targeted Kyiv Lavra monastery in a direct hit. A building that is almost 1000 y.o. When I say Russia wants to erase us and our culture, this is what I mean

Decided to get myself Sims Medieval in Swedish. I remember it had more advanced vocabulary in English (had my monarchs die because of my potato vocabulary!). Sims 2 for Finnish, Sims Medieval for Swedish.😁😁

Ouuuch :D

Obsessed with this 1735 illustration of hammerhead sharks from Japan

The hidden illative case in Lithuanian has the same ending as the Finnic lamgauges: -an, -on etc. Coincidence? I think not!

It’s gonna be a good week - Illative case appeared in a headline posted by Lithuanian National Radio and Television.

When you want to kill off your little business because it’s not paying off, but people keep coming to you

I am exactly 29 and a half today 😜

Tove Lo and Stromae! ☺️I needed those 2010s vibes

Elon Musk is a trillionaire now? If only all neurodivergent had rich parents…

It is uncomfortable to face up to the reality that A LOT of these disillusioned loser men are always waiting for the opportunity, for “permission” to harm other men, women, and children. They love it, it gives them purpose. THEY ENJOY IT. THIS IS FUN FOR THEM.

A man committed an act of violence, which gave other men a licence to engage in more violence (because they felt emboldened to do so by the climate of racism). But when this is pointed out, it’s always it’s not all men, male loneliness epidemic, men are really struggling it’s so so sad. Sick of it

We don’t have an immigration problem, we have an international male violence problem that continues to go unaddressed and honestly I’m getting really fed up with the constant refusal to just call it what it is.

Watching documentaries about the Nazi regime, specifically its rise, feels eerie these days. It’s like we are currently in 1932 and we’re trying to keep our balance

Facebook was down for an hour or så, as expected, bottling up led to explosion

Someone should track the speed of conspiracy theories whenever facebook is down and make a comparison to then it’s not

Whenever I see contact lenses with colour, I remember how I wanted my eyes to look deeper blue for my graduation. I ended up being late to the ceremony, because the contact broke in my eye, pieces were scattered, lots of blinking was needed to get rid of them all

Last night worked on Jonas Biliūnas’s novella. The Easy Lithuanian book includes one I don’t want my students to read. It was a lot of work (my heart ached removing them grammatical duals), but should be understandable for a student working on their B1 level… i will still have to improve it.

Tfw we got Familia Sagrada before Rail Baltica

“Non-comedogenic formula” My pores: lol

Some Turkish dude failed his thesis in Kaunas and threatened the entire uni community, comparing himself to… Adolf Hitler People really are losing the plot these days :D

Bestie

Sometimes I like to leave a comment on Facebook and not explain myself, not even once. Idc, I got it out of my system, your bad if you replied

Some more editing and I will finally get it published in July😭❤️

Finally rewrote an article AGAIN, submitted it to the publisher. I myself feel like it’s got more shape and turned out better this time around, more concise, but let’s see what the editors think…

Elena Polishchuk, Monsieur Noir and the Red Teapot, oil on canvas, 2026

So the crime rate in NYC is at all time low? It’s as if a person’s religious identity doesn’t have anything to do with being suitable for leadership

Klau, man te ir žemaite, kura meklē dzīvokli Rīgā īstermiņa īrei no augusta līdz decembrim. Nevar atrast sev nekādus variantus, aģenti neatbild, bet citi vispār negribot neko tādu īslaicīgu. Varbūt varat ko ieteikt? Kur jūs meklētu?

Imho if you haven’t read ‘The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years’ by Kyrgyz author Chingiz Aitmatov, you will never properly understand the Soviet society and its consequences. I am very happy we got some extracts in school, it just put things together in my adolescent head

My show is up and running! Here is the first piece I made for it: Falkirk Pride. It's a blend of cotton and lambswool; the design is based on the Falkirk Check fragment. #Weaving

My mum can demolish me in series of messages for one day, the other day be as sweet as one can be ‘oh no bby how’s your migraine’. There is no way as a child I could understand how this is unhealthy dynamic, but now I totally do (and she hates it)

Bro ngl i hate it when ‘i’ve read somewhere’ men dare to challe… teach me about history or languages or things I have actual degree in. Just because they’re a man and I am just some girl to them

I always cringe when I see compatriots say Feb 16 was independence day from Russia. Sneaky Germans, indeed, but that time we declared independence from Germany by which we’d been occupied for three years. Så yeah we even got lost in those independence days

Looking on the bright side, those NATO pilots finally get to actually live what they’ve been trained for…

Finally managed to make cepelinai in Finland. For the first time!

Maybe tomorrow I will finally manage to rewrite that article I’ve been writing since Dec 2025. Gosh I’ve been feeling crap about it. It was not rejected, but it was a mess and had to be rewritten, and I’ve been awfully uninspired this year

In Lithuania, Father’s day is celebrated on the 1st Sunday of June I will forever be grateful to my dad for telling me things like “you have more talents than required”, sometimes it is the only thing I hold onto when I feel low. May he rest after turbulent life (1958-2012)

Tomas Venclova (read as Tomas Ventslova) was reading at this poetry festival here, was nice to hear poetry in Lithuanian here in Finland. Shook hands and thanked Mr Venclova He also read a poem about Užupis and my allegiance is strong

The Guardian praising the Pope, what has this world become www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

One thing about Finns is that they’re extremely intimidated by foreign names (THERE IS A DOT HOW DO I PRONOUNCE THAT OMG DID I PRONOUNCE ONE SOUND TOO HARD OMGOMG), but then they google the hell out of them XD (This is the lawyer helping me in my case against Migri)
