  1. Kuusamossa ja Koillismaalla vietin paljon aikaa, siis asuin vuosien 2018-2024 aikana enemmän ja vähemmän. Olin paikkakunnalla töissä, matkustelin näiden vuosien aikana ristiin rastiin retkeilyn ja juttukeikkojen muodossa yhden eliniän, kalastin, hiihdin, tutustuin ihmisiin ja eläimiin. Osa sydäntäni on aina tuolla alueella ja sen kulttuurissa. Siellä innostuin alun perin taas myös filmikuvauksesta vastapainona digille ja somelle ja sillä tiellä ollaan. Ehdottomasti eniten rullia on Koillismaalta, sen jälkeen ja kovaa kiriä on lapsista. Tässä kokoelma sekalaisia, ensimmäinen kuva on otettu vuoden 1913 Kodak Junior Autographicilla. Vanhentunutta Agfa APX 25:tä. #filmikuvaus #filmi #valokuvaus #kodakjuniorautographic #blackandwhite #shootfilmstaybroke #filmphotography #kuusamo #koillismaa

  8. So, here in #YEG, we've had a serious cold snap since Thursday, with temps dropping below -40 for the last 2 days. Therefore, I've been revelling in the warmth and comfort of the Great Indoors for a few days now. Plenty of #kdrama, including the following shows:
    #ExtraOrdinaryYou: completed
    #UncontrollablyFond: completed
    #AlchemyOfSouls: completed after several weeks of watchparties
    #MyDemon: 1 week to finish
    #WelcomeToSamdalRi: 1 week to finish
    Started: #Moving

  9. I rarely commute bike paths in rush hour due to WFH, but I was out there today just revelling in how incredibly diverse the / scene has become in .

    You've got every kind of bike, ebike, scooter, hoverboard, electric unicycle, electric skateboard...

    And then the rider's kits! People are decking out in everything from motorcycle armour, to fluorescent raver-punk ensembles. I saw an elderly lady in a lipstick-red full face helmet with a hivis scarf. 🤩

  10. Mulla on Usagi Shimassa suuri uudelleensisustusprojekti. Kartalle on muotoutumassa temppeli/kylpyläalue ja ostoskatu. Metsäisestä retkeilynurkasta tulossa pikkuhiljaa enemmän metsän näköinen, ja alalaitaan muotoutuu uusi ranta-alue.

    Harmi että tässä pelissä tulee pimeä niin aikaisin, tykkään fiilistellä ja ottaa kuvia enemmän kun on päivä.

  11. Am at episode 21 of Qing Luo and I say that I still enjoy it a lot. It is definitely not as intense as shows like #MysteriousLotusCasebook but there's a lot of comfort in revelling in a simple story of a man falling in love with a single mum. Speaking of which Liu Xue Yi is another #CDrama actor that needs more prominent roles. He was in #BloodOfYouth which is ❤️& was supposed to be the lead in an upcoming drama but the actress was charged for tax evasion, so the show will be shelved. 🙃

  12. #PlainTextExperiment update 1:

    Scene: An #Obsidian user tests themself by using nothing but TextEdit to interact with their notes, for an entire day

    After revelling in the simplicity of the app and how bare my notes look completely stripped of all formatting, the first thing I did was to go into TextEdit settings to try and make things more comfortable.
    Can I change the margins? Text size?

    —Seriously?? Time to stop scouring Apple forums for TextEdit hacks and just *get to work*!

    In which Xue Yang gets a taste of his own medicine from a marvellously dispassionate Jin Guangyao, but still ends up in Yi City.

    This is a fic I’ve been thinking about regularly for over five years now. The commitment to (or revelling in) the violence of the concept would have hooked me even without the follow-through on what happens afterwards.

  17. CW: just a bit of fun assassination movie review

    Watched "The Hitman's Bodyguard" (2017) on Sunday and "The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard " (2021) on Monday.

    The 1st had a European Dictator (a "Belarussian" played by Gary Oldman) on trial (in ... Amsterdam ...) who was charged with various offences (moneylaundering, maybecheatingatgolf, massmurder).

    The 2nd had a Greek crimeboss (played by Robert Rodriguez) carrying out a plan to cut a main European data cable.

    So, no doubt very inspiring for some ...

    Anyway, I enjoyed the almost 1950's madcap comedy whipsnap sharp dialogue but with cusses; Ryan does his thing, Samuel L does his better thing and Salma basically plays her DuskTillDawn role, Santánico Pandemonium, but times a thousand.

    The series is like Bruce Willis' DieHard movies (infrastructure weaknesses) and a parody of the Tom Cruise MissionImpossible films (ridiculous ass-pulls but revelling in the ridiculousness of the ass-pulls even moreso than MI does).

    Salma's "Sonia Kincaid" reminds me of the unreconstructed & post-reconstructed personality of Angelina DiGriz from the StainlessSteelRat book series (we never find out Angelina's real name but she takes Jim's surname on marriage).
    Angelina is a megalonaniac psychopath with a murderous version of a Nihilistic personal philosophy). Psychopathy was a big thing in the 1950's post-WorldWarTwo era with the Nature vs Nurture debate being on the minds of intellectuals in the West.
    Sonia is a conwoman (so like Jim & Angelina) but opposed to capitalists and crimebosses (so she's unlike Angelina but more like Jim in that respect (Jim likes scams and bank robberies).
    She is quick to violence when others she cares about are in danger (or threatened). She bears grudges.
    (Salma, of course, acts/works well with Robert Rodriguez.)

    Samuel L's "Darius Kincaid" reminded me of his role in "51st State" (the pharmaceutical genius Elmo McElroy). Despite having a surprising personal reason for "choosing" their lives (Elmo as chemist, Darius as a hitman), his characters drive the stories providing forward movement (and action) where exposition for other characters's emotional lives would stop the plot (Darius turns out to be the one responsible for most of the turmoil in the characters's lives).

    Ryan's "Michael Bryce" is essentially a good man trying his hardest to be excellent in his job as a certificated licensed bodyguard. He then hits this patch (the movies) where he is constantly frustrated by his own desire and incompetence to achieve that recognition but also will push respectability (in others's eyes) away to maintain his ethical code. Michael is a combination of John Cusack's Martin Blank from Grosse Pointe Blank (for which we have to thank Lee Marvin in Point Blank (but not Mel Gibson in Payback)) and John Cleese's Basil Fawlty from FartyOwls.

    There's a sequence in the 1st film where Michael & Darius are in a stolen car and Darius claims he needs to pee - it's at about 45mins in and is four minutes of low-action high-comedy with a tad of "of course that had to happen now".

    I got a lot out of these films, but there was also something else ... I'll be seeing you.

  18. "She"?
    Did that evil, racist bat put "she" in quotation marks when referring to me?

    That transcends transphobia.
    That racist trope has been around for centuries. Think of all the right wingers calling Michelle "Michael" Obama. TO THIS MINUTE.

    Somehow, we Black women manage to simultaneously be men while having all the welfare babies.

    Is there a single member of #Carymastan who can resist revelling in their anti-Blackness for even 5 minutes? I mean, there's Staph who tried to work her way through every trope on the Smithsonian list¹ the first time I encountered her. Then when a white person verified that what she said WAS IN FACT RACIST, she apologized to the WHITE PERSON, not the Black people she'd been abusing all night. 😐

    Because, hey, you wouldn't want a white person to think you're racist, just because you're racist af. 🤷🏾‍♀️

    Barb pretending she isn't klansheet white and asking if she can drop the n-bomb in her memoirs. Oh, and calling Meghan Markle "mammy".

    And Crystal. And Grim. And the whole racist Karyma's Koffee Klatch of them who have zero issues hobnobbing with literal white nationalists — who flat out tell them that they're white nationalists, while these numbnuts giggle and blush and say, "oh but not really!"

    Gah.

  23. #Musk #Billionaires #Ford #Fordism: "What Musk displays is less fealty to technocracy as Jonathan Taplin would have it – in the sense of subjecting decision-making to a utilitarian calculus – and more what the critic John Ganz has called “bossism”. This is a commitment to the inviolability of hierarchical chains of domination, and a revelling in the sadistic surplus of power offered by that status.

    The business bookshelves groan with biographies of asshole innovators. The usual justification, which Isaacson supplies many times here as he did in his biography of Steve Jobs, is that the gains are worth the collateral suffering. “Could he have been more chill and still be the one launching us towards Mars?” he asks rhetorically. But attending to Musk’s description of his goals, we see that he is not launching “us” to Mars (unless Isaacson hopes his frequently puffy biography will win him a berth). Musk’s goal of leaving this planet “before civilisation crumbles,” as he put it as recently as April 2023, is defined by the stringent selection of a few refugees from a dying world. It is a scenario reminiscent of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series, favoured by Musk, or the satirical Adam McKay film Don’t Look Up.

    Where Fordism and Teslaism differ most is that for Musk it has never been about a rising tide lifting all ships. It’s about a geyser of rocket fuel lifting one particular ship – literally the Starship – to take him and his (at last count) ten offspring far away from the zombies. What’s good for Tesla is good for Mars is good for the Musks. On the software billionaire Larry Ellison’s private island in Hawaii, Musk lifts his young son, X Æ A-Xii, up to a telescope and says, “Look at this, this is where you are going to live someday.”"
