I remain amused by how the local morning classical music programs this week have all sought music that is thematically linked to the heat wave but I wonder if we will run out of šŸŽ¶ before normal temperatures return

But also: if this were my first time learning an additional language I donā€™t think I would find Duolingo helpful. I know enough to know what I donā€™t know and seek it out. I would be so frustrated if I didnā€™t! Itā€™s no substitute for a community of learners and some metacognitive strategies.

I can talk about the countries that border Finland, but I havenā€™t yet learned how to say I am Americanā€¦ and culture wise itā€™s fascinating. No explanation of sisu just how to say you have it, itā€™s an interesting mix of big C and little C culture

Day 5 of learning Finnish šŸ‡«šŸ‡®: in addition to wizard, sisu, and sauna, I have now also been introduced to the kantele and, most recently, coffee and pulla. Please and thank you! Kiitos! Itā€™s so interesting to do this as a true beginner, with my language prof brain on

Google ā€œMassachusetts crisis pregnancyā€ and this link pops up. Itā€™s part of a statewide campaign, including public signage (highway billboards!), urging people to avoid crisis pregnancy/anti-abortion centers. The Commonwealth is not fucking around with this.

Late to the word bingo party but I use folks and friends a lot, in religious contexts I also use/ hear kin, kinfolk, and my fav beloved/beloveds. Someone starts with Beloveds, you know there is something uncomfortable coming your way šŸ˜¹

Itā€™s fun to learn languages when youā€™re a nerdā€¦ just like it was perplexing that Al-Kitaab thought us to talk about the United Nations in Arabic, Duolingo teaches us the word for wizard in the first lesson (Velho šŸ§™) ā€¦ sauna and sisu come up soon after

Iā€™m sorry, Megan! Our deputation was 50/50 last I checked. Iā€™ll observe that the two of us who wore masks throughout are in the negative Covid test group. I hope we can learn from this for future meetingsā€¦

For winter, 65 during the day and 62 at night. I have blankets on every couch and chair, and a few space heaters that can supplement as needed. And I love a good hot water bottle.

This is my first year with central a/c and we will see how it goes but right now I have it set to 78 - though I may have to lower it because 100+yo house and upstairs has crap insulation. Lots of strategically placed fans. All good so long as it doesnā€™t get smoky šŸ”„out

I am confused why itā€™s action to tell the bishops ā€œwaaaa do what we sayā€ but not to actually make something an act of convention because of a single word that even if itā€™s not used is described in the text #gc81
