Kävipä tässä justiinsa ilmi, että Kekkonen kävi aikoinaan tapaamassa meidän perheystävän isää (en tosin yhtään tiedä miksi), ja siitä on ihan valokuvakin

Näin unta Risto Rytistä kuolemassa vanhuuteen. Olin unessa hänen hoitajansa. Unessa sen verran oli pielessä, että:
- "Ryti oli iso muutos Kekkoseen, joka tunnettiin juhlimesesta, kun Ryti oli asiamies ja piti metsän rauhasta."
- Jostain syystä Ryti oli mun unessa Keskustalainen
Olin siinä kuolin vuoteella sitten antamassa tukea Ryti vaimolle (ainiin tää oli modernia aikaa btw) ja sit juttelin siinä mitä lie. Sitten Rytin vaimo oli mulle sillee, että mun pitäisi kertoa Rytille mun suunnitelmasta ja se keskustelu meni näin,
"Aion mennä politiikkaan ja ruveta seuraavaksi presidentiksi"
Ryti, silmät yhtäkkiä loistaa kirkkaana ja hymyilee: "Hyvä hyvä, sinusta tulisi hyvä presidentti. Mene ihmiseessä ja näytä niille."
Minä: "No.. Kai mä voisin..."
Ryti: "Ei muttia menet ja rupeat presidentiksi."
Minä: "Okei lupaan yrittää."
Ryti hymyilee ja kuolee.

Well. Thanks grandpa for the money collection. If paper kopeks have a two headed eagle on them, I'm gonna assume they're pre 1917. Same probably goes for Finnish money that has text in Russian.

i'm at grandma's for christmas as are my aunt and her family, so like every time we see i ended up in an incredibly sprawling conversation with my godfather (aunt's husband and father of my cousins, has been considered a part of the family for longer than i've been alive) that went from what i'm studying to politics and to somewhere in between and everywhere else
but anyway, we got to talking about slurs as often happens and i almost used the Finnish word hintti as an example of why I think white people saying the n-word is bad even when they're quoting stuff. It's basically a Finnish equivalent to faggot. A nasty slur and not something I've heard reclaimed without a lot of humour or political spite surrounding it. It's also what happens very easily when a Finnish speaker tries to adapt the English word hint to fit the Finnish language. So I almost went "Dad says it sometimes when we're playing board games and I sort of instinctually flinch a bit every time" until I remembered that he doesn't technically know I'm bi and I'm not sure if I want to tell him at 11.30 the night before Christmas. I'm sure he'd be completely supportive but I want to do it all the way, mention my gender too and that requires a bit more thinking

I think the worst/best part about Tumblr is that it let's me know about stuff I might be interested in. The bad thing is that it ruins them for me too. And not with spoilers
Like The Locked Tomb. Really want to read that. But now I want to quarantine every tag related to it because people I follow are getting to the "Tamsyn Muir for god-emperor!" Phase of fan culture. And I just
I'm just tired of it now.
