This #Russian couple support #Ukraine - if they're sent back to #Russia, they'll end up in a #penal #colony in #Siberia! "Nikita & Olga Belov fled their homeland in 2022 after attracting the attention of Russian #authorities - including #military summons, threatening #messages & attempts to locate them - after expressing #opposition to the full-scale #invasion of Ukraine."

Three photo series of the most delightfully weird thing I've found on my hikes so far 😊 On a mossy rock in the middle of a forest, with no houses anywhere nearby, the top of a bottle was sticking up and when we lifted the bottle there was a little porcelain ballerina inside. How did it get there? Who knows. How long has it been there? Also unknown... but I'm accepting theories 😁 @outdoor@fedigroups.social@pixelfed.social @nature@fedigroups.social@pixelfed.social @photography@fedigroups.social@pixelfed.social @hiking@fedigroups.social@pixelfed.social @photography@lemmy.world@pixelfed.social @Nature@lemmy.world@pixelfed.social @hiking@lemmy.world@pixelfed.social @aiop@lemmy.world@pixelfed.social @joinin@fedigroups.social@pixelfed.social #DelightfullyWeird #PhotoMonday #OC #NaturePhotography #Nature #Photography #Photo #August #Finland #Archipelago #AlandIslands #HikingAland #Hiking #InMy #Summer #Wonderland P.S if your country doesn’t have the freedom to roam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam there’s something inherently wrong.

Elina Rodriguez @rodrelina@mementomori.social · Jul 31, 2026
In English below. Kampanjauutisia - me olemme nyt rekisteröity tukiyhdistys! Elina Rodriguezin tukiryhmä ry on täydessä toiminnassa. Tavoitteena on kansanedustajan paikka eduskuntavaaleissa huhtikuussa 2027. Jos haluat olla mukana luomassa Vasemmistoliiton vaalivoittoa, edistämässä itsellesi tärkeitä aiheita ja tukea minua kampanjassani, olet lämpimästi tervetullut tukiryhmän toimintaan! Laita minulle viestiä, niin lisään sinut ryhmämme viestintäkanaviin. Yksi tärkeä auttamisen tapa on lahjoittaminen, jos se sopii juuri sinun tilanteeseesi. Mitä enemmän meillä on varoja käytettävissämme, sitä suurempaa ja vaikuttavampaa kampanjaa pystymme tekemään. Eduskuntavaaleissa 2023 valittujen kansanedustajien keskimääräinen vaalibudjetti oli noin 41 000 euroa. Rahaa kuluu esimerkiksi mainospaikkoihin ulkomainoksissa, lehdissä tai netissä, tapahtumien järjestämiseen ja kampanjamateriaaleihin kuten flaikkuihin. Näkyvyyttä voi saada ilmaiseksi sosiaalisen median kautta, mutta viime vuosina alustat ovat ruvenneet kaventamaan poliittisten aiheiden näkyvyyttä rankalla kädellä. Näkyvyyden hankkiminen ei ole tällä tavalla mahdotonta, mutta rutkasti entistä haastavampaa - erityisesti niille, jotka puhuvat esimerkiksi ihmisoikeusaiheista. Lahjoituksellasi, suurella tai pienellä, on siis suurempi merkitys kuin ehkä arvaatkaan. Kampanjan tilinumero: FI95 5651 1320 3655 38. Myös MobilePay -lahjoittaminen tulee mahdolliseksi lähiaikoina. Keräyksen järjestäjä: Elina Rodriguezin tukiryhmä ry (3638735-8) Pienkeräysnumero: RA/2026/999 Keräysaika: 31.7.- 17.10.2026. Käyttötarkoitus: Lahjoitusvarat käytetään lyhentämättömänä vaalikampanjoinnin ja yhdistyksen toiminnan rahoittamiseen. Lämmin kiitos kaikille, jotka olette tukeneet minua tähän asti muodossa tai toisessa! ENG Campaign News – we are now a registered support organization! Elina Rodriguezin tukiryhmä ry is fully operational. Our goal is a seat in the Parliament of Finland in the parliamentary elections in April 2027. If you want to be a part of creating a Left Alliance election victory, promoting matters that are important to you, and supporting me in my campaign, you are warmly welcome to join our support group! Send me a message and I will add you to our group's communication channels. One important way to help is by donating, if it suits your current situation. The more funds we have, the larger and more impactful campaign we can run. In the 2023 parliamentary elections, the average election budget for elected MPs was about 41 000 euros. Money is spent on things like ad space in outdoor advertising, newspapers, or online, organizing events, and campaign materials such as flyers. Visibility can be gained for free through social media, but in recent years platforms have begun to drastically restrict the reach of political topics. Gaining visibility this way is not impossible but it’s far more challenging than before, especially for those who speak out on topics like human rights. Your donation, big or small, can have a greater impact than you might think. The campaign's bank account number is: FI95 5651 1320 3655 38. MobilePay donations will become available in the near future. Organizer of the collection: Elina Rodriguezin tukiryhmä ry (3638735-8) Small-scale collection number: RA/2026/999 Collection period: July 31 – October 17, 2026. Purpose of use: The donated funds will be used in full to finance the election campaign and the activities of the association. A warm thank you to everyone who has supported me so far in one way or another! #eduskuntavaalit2027 #suomi #vaalit #eduskuntavaalit #finland #elections #vasemmisto #vasemmistoliitto #uudenmaanvasemmisto #espoonvasemmisto #radikaaliaempatiaa #elinarodriguez #left #leftist #leftalliance #lahjoita #donate

Finland starting in 2027, will cease servicing the power transmission line towers that carry some international internet traffic to Russia.

Back to #finland with today's #soda weirdness. This is Pommac, one of the sodas I definitely make foreign visitors taste when they first come to Finland. It has berries and fruits in it, what exactly is a mystery. But so is the taste. It's very often offered as a non-alcoholic alternative to bubbly drinks. It's been around since 50s in Finland, originally introduced in Sweden in the 20s, although the original recipe was by a Finnish-Swede.

The World's First #NuclearWaste Tomb Is Nearly Ready to Open With space for 6,500 tons of #uranium, #Onkalo is aimed at providing permanent storage for spent fuel from #Finland's five #nuclear reactors – three of them located in Olkiluoto. Spent fuel is planned to be deposited in Onkalo's massive network of tunnels for 100yrs, but operations may be extended if new nuclear reactors are built. Subsequently, it will be sealed to provide safe storage for at least 100,000yrs. https://www.sciencealert.com/the-worlds-first-nuclear-waste-tomb-is-nearly-ready-to-open

We found ourselves at Lievestuore after the bitter disappointment of their amusement park's arcade. At this point we were closer to #Tampere than home, so we headed out to see how the Särkänniemi amusement park's new hobbyist run arcade fares. Now this was more like it. The old dolphinarium waiting area had been converted into one long lineup of pins and vids. The games were mostly 90s, but with some more modern ones and couple of classics in the mix. Everything ran with tokens, that were sold at the cafeteria. My only gripe was that the pins took 2 tokens each, with the base token price being at 1.5€, although the price went down if you bought them in bulk. The games were all relatively clean and obviously maintained, with very little issues in them, a lot better situation than with your average bar machine. #arcade #pinball #sarkanniemi #finland

Last Thursday we drove to Lievestuore, which is about 2 and a half hours drive from home. The Nokkakivi amusement park resides there and I've made a note about the "100 arcade machines" they've been advertising for as long as they have existed. I know the amusement park itself is more of a collection of old carnival-style rides, mostly for younger kids but the arcade got me curious. So we went there with the hopes of playing some pinball and maybe other arcade games and make a cool video of a proper, old days' arcade. I came back with this video. It's everything I shot of that place. I stepped in, was like "oooh, pins" and took a quick sweep before I went to play. After I was done and realized this was it, I was so damn disappointed I just wanted to walk. The "100 arcade games" apparently included non-functional ornaments over the walls. There were really maybe 20+ games total, most of them vids or claw machines. They had 7 pins, out of which 2 were on and all those 2 needed was a mercy shot at this point. #arcade #pinball #finland

Unused finnish crown jewels. In 1918 after #Finland declared independence from #Russia, there were plans on a monarchy including a prince from #Germany. In 1990 this crown was created from the original drawings from 1918. We happended to see it on our roadtrip through #Kemi and #LumiLinna . #history
