Our new #EMCA paper studies interaction in the UN military observer course and focuses on moments during a car-patrolling exercise where a team member asks a question that doesn’t receive any response from the recipient. 🧵 1/17 @unioulu.bsky.social

Going old-school today teaching sequence organization in the #CA class! The students also seemed to be having fun putting these seemingly random lines in an order that would make sense as a conversation.

Does anyone recognize what classic data this is from? 🤓 Extra points for the correct order!

Three slips of paper with CA transcripts formed from smaller slips, each with a single transcript line.

Tämä ei ole hyvän mielen postaus, mutta ehkä syksyn tärkein postaukseni. Suosittelen kaikille tutkijoille ja tutkimusryhmille: käsitelkää törkyriskejä ja suunnitelkaa toimenpiteitä etukäteen yhdessä.

Lähiaikoina on tiettävästi odotettavissa törkyä tiedeyhteisöä kohtaan. Ketjusta muutama pikavinkki.

Thanks! And yeah kinda, or at least you might be seeing me around there a bit more often. 😊

Eilen inboxiini tipahti tieto, että minulle on myönnetty (Suomen ensimmäinen...? 👀) Asiantuntijaviestinnän dosentuuri Tampereen yliopistossa! Sähköpostin allekirjoitus ja CV (tässä järjestyksessä, obvs) päivitetty. 💪 Iso kiitos @niinalilja.bsky.social järkkäilyistä, kiva päästä tekemään yhteistyötä!

At our 4yo goddaughter's bday party:

GD: "Pretend to sleep!"
Me: "OK" *fake sleeps*
GD: jumps on sofa, blasts hellish tunes with harmonica, yells "SATANNNNN!!!"

All us adults: 😳😳

Been in the #acwri game for 11 years now and today got my very first desk-rejection for a manuscript.

Does- does this mean I'm a real scholar now...?

The announcements at the Stockholm-Arlanda airport have no chill:

"With the RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY, please do not leave your bag unattended."

Okay okay I won't, Jesus. 😳

Vaikka aikanaan olikin kova kiire kotipitäjästä maailmalle (no, Ouluun, mutta tässä tapauksessa lasketaan), niin ei siitä mihinkään pääse että hyvä siellä oli kasvaa ja lapsena nuohota peltoja ja pusikoita ja polokia pyörällä kylänraittia. Kylä kasvaa mutta fiilis ilmeisesti säilyy!

Etenkin näinä kirkkaina kevätpäivinä Liminka tuntuu erittäin elävältä paikalta asua.

Jengi touhuilee pihahommissaan, lasten trulliporukat kiertelevät talolta toiselle, töriseviä hanhiparvia matkaa yli.

Tämä osaa olla hieno kylä.

Spot which two consequtive words in the above post were supposed to be the other way round and receive eternal glory AND a sincere, appreciative smile (pictured).

A close-up of the annoyingly smug face from the meme in the previous post.

Antti Kamunen @kamunenantti.bsky.social · Mar 24

I don't love the fact that the printed out memes on my office pinboard that were meant to be ironic turn out to be prophetic instead. That's the wrong ic, pinboard meme!

Yes post this IS about current global politics.

A picture of a printed meme with the text "Me: Well, shit can't get worse" followed by "Shit:" and a picture of a very smug-looking Renaissance era kid smirking annoyingly.

Me: That was a nice winter break, and now this is the week I'm getting All The Work™ done!

Snot in my sinuses: hehe

Snot: hehehe 🗜️🎳

Today's pretty rough news-wise (urghh), so to interrupt your doomscrolling here's a picture of a willow catlin I spotted on a walk on Saturday.

For those still learning about the nuances in the concept of personal space in Finland, know that I consider both of these scenarios equally unacceptable.

The first one, for sure! There's also still quite a lot of the "dark rectangle with a stub of an antenna" icons in use with the no-phone signs here, which must be even more confusing for the (younger) kids.

Antti Kamunen @kamunenantti.bsky.social · Feb 9

Me too! I'd imagine the 3310's meme value makes it appear on the Gen Zers' FYPs every now and then (?), but I wouldn't be so sure about anyone born in the 2010s 🤔🤷‍♂️

Antti Kamunen @kamunenantti.bsky.social · Feb 9

I much love our neighbourhood library's commitment to

A) this being the definitive and forever recognisable image of a mobile phone, and

B) avoid advertising any brands by censoring the logos, thus rendering the make and model of this phone completely unrecognisable.

Almost the last thing before Christmas holiday, my new article on the ways of participating in a colleague’s project was published in Language & Communication! Open access, available here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Ah yeah, I remember having seen those too! And also some tiny "library" cabinets in parks and on some roadsides in Australia. So nothing too special then, except perhaps in our neighborhood, where everything that isn't locked usually gets stolen very quickly. 😃

Antti Kamunen @kamunenantti.bsky.social · Dec 19

Is this a thing also elsewhere? We have this self-service Christmas tree sale in our neighborhood, where you just pick a tree, use an app to pay the price indicated by a colored ribbon, & use the provided saw to shorten it, if needed. I guess no-one just grabs one and walks without paying, cool! 🎄

We DIDN'T bite yet, so dunno! We'll keep him (& the Falcon) intact over Christmas. My money's on crunchy-but-can-rip-your-arm-out.

She may not look like much but she's got it where it counts, kid. I made a lot of special modifications myself.*

*(My wife did, mostly, but I was a big help!)

To complement all of these classics (and to acknowledge some of the contributions outside of the anglosphere), here are a couple of excellent recent edited collections:
