I found this in the IG feed. It was shared by another person, so I don't know who this woman is. But only her new picture makes her testimony trustworthy enough.

I want to watch this documentary by Matt Walsh! Who thought a few decades ago that Westerners would lose the ability to define what a man and a woman is? Crazy times!

@sinbach Your text was inspiring! It's a beautiful song. The history of the song is inspiring as well:
"The lyrics of the song were written by Yip Harbug, the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants.../...The song was first published in 1939, at a time when the Jews in Europe were coming under increased hostility. Their freedoms were being taken away, their identity being dragged through the dirt, and many of them were feeling isolated. They were trapped, unable to “fly”.

The song is about hope, that the bad times will one day be over. It is this feeling of hope within the song that we can all relate to and it is hope that helped the Jewish people through the Holocaust.

Yip did not know what the future held for the Jewish people when he wrote this song. The lyrics “chimney tops” take on a harrowing new meaning now that we know the horrors of the Holocaust. I am sure many Jews looked to the skies above Auschwitz’s chimney’s, longing for the day they were free."

We have a few tomato plants in our greenhouse and the first tomatoes are growing.

@sinbach This meme reminded of your meat pic on IG. 😀

I'm so proud of our Finnish hockey boys (called the Lions) who won the World Championship! Again, a small country (5,5 million people), with not as much money as Canada and the US to train young players.
1. FIN 🇫🇮
2. CAN 🇨🇦
3. CZE 🇨🇿
4. USA 🇺🇸

Biking in our neighborhood before rain, and before the World Championship final ice hockey match against Canada that starts in an hour. This is the most beautiful time of the year when nature is bursting with flowers and colors. The fruit trees haven't blossomed yet. (The windmill is from 1809, and the red buildings are maybe 100 years or older... We have many uninhabited houses in our village, but they are not allowed to be teared down because they are protected).

Finland 🇫🇮 just won over the USA 🇺🇸 in the semi final in Ice Hockey World Championship. Tomorrow we will play in the final match, and the USA will fight for bronze. In a few hours it will be finalized which team will play against Canada 🇨🇦 and which team will play against Czech Republic 🇨🇿. This is so exciting, since ice hockey is maybe the biggest sport in our country!

@sinbach It's a difficult question! 😅 What would YOU answer? This picture shows why I think it is... This is our young, female prime minister Sanna Marin with Klaus Schwab. (Politicians and the most powerful billionaires are two sides of the same coin.) They are selling my country step by step, to the globalists. A few years ago this question would have been easier from a Finnish point of view (I would have picked politicians), because it's one of the least corrupt countries in the world, and politicians are elected by the people (no electors, even for the president election). The President must be a native-born citizen of Finland. The term of office is six years. The same person may be elected President for no more than two consecutive terms. From an American point of view I suppose you have lower trust in politicians than we have in ours (or used to have... my trust has decreased).

This comedy is almost too real... It's funny and sad. Poor kids.

This Finnish forecaster bursts out in laughter. This is what it feels like to watch the weather forecast in Finland (this was recorded in 2017, might have been the end of April or beginning of May. At the end you see the high temperatures in southern Europe).

"Finnair had planned 40 weekly flights to Japan to five different destinations this summer. Now, the number has shrunk to seven Tokyo flights a week. In addition to Japan, the company has cut back on flights to China and South Korea.

"If you fly from Helsinki to Tokyo, the flight time is currently more than 13 hours, because it circumvents Russian airspace," Tallqvist points out.

That marks an increase of three hours in travel time since the imposition of the Russian ban."

@sinbach welcome back to the Nordic countries! Nature at its best. I work from home today and am on my way for a walk in nature right now. The best thinkable way of taking a break - exercise in the Nordic nature.
