I’m supporting Finnish culture! Sure sounds better than, “went overboard at the comics store”, doesn’t it?

A collection of four Finnish-language books is laid out on a red table cloth. Their titles are, ”Varjo menneisyydestä”, ”Jumala Koneesta”, ”Usagi Yojimbo 5”, and ”Ankkalinna – Portti kahden maailman välillä”. Each book features distinct and colorful, drawn cover images.

At this point, I’m reasonably sure I couldn’t be any more aware that @glasgow2024.bsky.social, A Worldcon For Our Futures is only a few months away now, but I can still get a membership, having been told so about 72 times in the past month or so.

Elisa Kirja shutting down – the availability of ebooks in Finnish probably going to get much worse.
Tero Ykspetäjä (@[email protected])
Päivän huono uutinen e-kirjojen ystävälle: Elisa kirja lopettaa (yhdistyy Bookbeatiin). Kirjakauppa suljetaan ja jatkossa on ilmeisesti tarjolla vain lukuaikapalvelua, ja käyttö vain Bookbeatin omalla sovelluksella. Jatkossa kirjojen ostaminen, lataaminen tai lukeminen lukulaitteella ei siis onnistu. (Elisa Kirjan asiakkailla on elokuuhun aikaa ladata ostamansa kirjat omalle koneelle.)

Having lots of fun at #åcon13 (as always!)
Tero Ykspetäjä (@[email protected])
Day 2 of #åcon13 over and done with (for me). GoH Fiona Barnett is absolutely lovely, and both she and her hubby are really good sports, even when subjected to one of Jukka’s quizzes. The Pommern tour was interesting (if somewhat windy). Looking forward to seeing the results of Henry’s photo shoot.

TL;DR: fuck #AmazonPrimeVideo

Tero Ykspetäjä (@[email protected])
Thought I’d watch a thing on Prime. It tells me I don’t have a subscription. The F*** I don’t. I contact customer support. They tell me my account was deactiveted due to inactivity. Well ok, it WAS two whole days since I last watched something. Good news! They cannot restore the subscription, but I can subscribe again! Only the price is now higher than the one I had. Sorry about that. Nothing they can do. Well‚ I guess I had one too many streaming subscription anyway. Bye, #AmazonPrimeVideo

Huolipuheen sijaan ruohonjuuritason toimintaa: lukukirjasto lukioon

💬 @[email protected]: https://masto.ai/@tero/112149641096199075
Post by Tero Ykspetäjä. "On aina hauskaa, kun satunnaisesta entäs jos ‑mietteestä syntyykin intohimoprojekti. Niin kuin vaikka hiljaisen työskentelytilan yhteyteen perustettu kirjasto lukiolaisille. Omasta kotikirjastosta lähti muutamia kymmeniä teoksia hyvään tarkoitukseen. Kun opiskelijoilta kyseltiin toiveita, niitä tuli ilahduttavan paljon, ja ihan laidasta laitaan.

There seems to be a new fantasy book club in town (Turku that is).
Tero Ykspetäjä (@[email protected])
New #meetup I stumbled on by accident: Turku Fantasy Book Club. First meeting is next month. From the group description: “Twice every month (once in the middle and once at the end of the month) we will meet and discuss the book of the month. We’ll discuss our favourite quotes, likes, dislikes, and the sort. So come along, join, and let’s achieve our reading goals for this year in a more social and fun manner!” https://www.meetup.com/turku-book-club/

Ei nosteta kirjojen alvia – allekirjoita kansalaisaloite!
https://piipitin.fi/@teemuki/111590501051663519
Linkki Mastodon-viestiin: "Vaadimme, että arvonlisäverolain 85 a §:n kohta 7 säilytetään vähintään sellaisenaan eli kirjan veroprosenttia ei nosteta 10 prosentista 14 prosenttiin ja harkitaan sen vähentämistä nollaan tulevaisuudessa. Euroopan unionin neuvosto hyväksyi huhtikuussa 2022 arvonlisäverodirektiivin, jonka mukaan EU:n jäsenvaltiot voivat alentaa arvonlisäveron 0 prosenttiin painetuille ja digitaalisille kirjoille sekä lehdille." kansalaisaloite.fi/fi/aloite/1… #Kansalaisaloite #KirjaMastodon 16.12.2023 16:11
