I find Manu’s post on quitting web consumption easy to relate. So much rage bait and garbage content out there these days, on the social media channels especially. And yet here I am, with 2 fresh social media accounts again (micro.blog & Bluesky). Oh well.. 🫠
Finnish Midsummer approaching
Tomorrow is Midsummer Eve here in Finland and the city is already starting to empty out. You can feel it in the grocery store queues, in the quieter streets, in the way conversations at work keep drifting toward cottage plans and which lake is best for a morning swim.
Midsummer in Finland is less of a holiday and more of a full evacuation. Oulu empties. Helsinki empties. Everyone goes somewhere with a sauna and a dock, and the sun just doesn’t set — it dips toward the horizon around midnight, turns everything amber and pink, then climbs right back up. The weather seems to be pretty typical Midsummer weather this year; going between +15-20°. That’s fine.
Testing blog to micro.blog & bluesky integration. Don’t mind this message :)
Watched: The Boroughs Season 1 🍿 Liked it! Stranger Things, just with older folks is probably not too far fetched notion 🤭
