We shouldn't only get involved in fights that directly affect us -we should fight for everything we believe in. I know it can sometimes be a lot. Not all communities even want help from 'outsiders'. But we have to stick together. 'Cause for everything that's different about us, there's something in common for everyone.
How can we expect ALL people to make changes for our closest causes, if we're not ready to step up out of our lane even a little bit for theirs? So today I speak for everything I see is wrong in this world. And you should too.
Rainy night. I'm alone in my house, lighting candles. Closing to midnight, I'm picking psychological horror films and tucking myself comfortable in the corner of my couch. A piece of perfection. This is how I try and lose my worriesβ₯οΈ
Bonus: unlike many languages, Finnish has names for eight points of the compass instead of four. So between cardinal directions (pÀÀilmansuunnat) we call ordinal directions (vÀli-ilmansuunnat) NE, SE, SW & NW by their very own words.
'Ilma' means 'air' and 'suunta' is 'direction', so literally these are called 'air/wind directions', or 'directions of (the) air'
People want us dead when they most need us. Deep inside they know, We could help if they only let us.
And we keep trying, We come back again and again, & we get chased out town after town.
Until we become the crazy old lady in the woods, you always saw us as.
The curse of a good heart. The curse of (not) knowing better.
Remembering that time I wrote a bunch of cryptic shorts 'bout cannibalism.

Jaaha, ja nyt on sitte viimeistÀÀn irtauduttava suomalaisestakin massamediasta.
Oon sanonut ennenkin, ettÀ nÀÀ 'paremmat' journalistiset, ja keltainen lehdistâ alkaa huolestuttavasti erottua toisistaan entistÀ vahvemmin vain ulkoasullaan. HyvÀÀ lehtimiestapaa on loukattu mm. plagioinnilla, kyseenalaisella kuvituksella ja kunnianloukkauksilla laidasta laitaan jo pidemman aikaa. SiitÀ voidaan sitten puhua erikseen, ettÀ millainen julkinen spekulaatio on ok ja millainen ei, etenkin lasten ja yksityishenkilâiden kohdalla. Pointti on siinÀ, ettÀ kun valtamediassa julkaistaan suoraan ja kritiikittÀ ÀÀrimielipiteitÀ samalla, kun ihmiset arkielÀmÀssÀÀn kÀrsii niiden vaikutuksista, jokin on vinossa ja pahasti.
Se, ettÀ jossain menee huonommin, tai ettÀ Suomessa vois mennÀ huonommin, ei tarkoita, ettÀ meillÀ menee nyt riittÀvÀn hyvin & kehittÀmisen voi lopettaa. 'RiittÀvÀn hyvin'; tÀÀllÀ rivikansalaiset yrittÀÀ pÀivittÀin polkea toistensa oikeuksia mm. kotirauhaan, itse-ilmaisuun, koulunkÀyntiin ja uskonvapauteen. Ei kuulosta reilulta minusta.
Joku voi sanoa, ettÀ 'lehtimiestapa' on vanhanaikainen etiketti, mutta itse pidÀn sitÀ (pÀÀ-asiassa) ihan validina laaturajana. Ihan vÀhintÀÀn radikaalina pidettÀviin julkaisuihin pitÀisi aina ottaa mukaan asiantuntijan tai 'vastakkaisen' mielipiteen edustajan nÀkâkanta.
Nothing matters, no one cares. Who wakes up screaming out your name when you are gone? Nothing matters, no one cares. It will end, Always the same way it began.
'Cause nothing matters. And no one cares. How does one tell the difference between the Sun and other stars? Distance matters, so does time. Who wakes up crying in the night when we're all gone?
