Long time no bike hiking: a super short overmight trip to the Sipoo Voids.

Do like the swamp ponds in this area. Very light sleeping gear: bivy and sleeping bag. Small drops during the night. In heavier rain getting in and out the bivy would suck without a […]

Ugh, guess this chain ring starts has earned its retirement. The teeth are not yet fully shark fins, but not far from it either.

The Hellsinki salt-gravel-ice is a premium grinding material, or whatevah it is we call "hioma-aine" in the saxophone languages […]

Li Anderssonin essee @ku.fi :ssa on täyttä asiaa niin analyysinsä kuin politiikkasuositustensakin puolesta.

On puolustettava kv-oikeutta ja ihmisoikeuksia, rakennettava eurooppalainen puolustus ja vastutettava oligarkkeja ja äärioikestoa olivatpa nämä […]

Li Andersson, MEP of the Finnish Left Alliance party, gave an interview to the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation regarding the #UkraineWar and Trump in the US.

Three years ago our fascist¹ neighbor, Putin's Russia, attacked on of its other neighbors, namely Ukraine. Russia's war machine runs on the fossil fuels it exports.

Three years down the line we have fascists taking over in the US and the EU confused over […]

With a cleptocratic and authoritarian Russia and the US, quickly heading for stronger cleptocracy and authoritarianism¹, negotiating over Ukraine, one can't help of being reminded of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact² and the München 1938 conference.

If history […]

Okey dokey II:
The nice sunny -10⁰C day turned into a snow filled evening. Glad I changed the bottom bracket, the old would not have survived the pushy pedaling.

Tähän pikku-uutiseen tiivistyy todella synkällä ja samalla naurettavalla tavalla oikeiston norminpurkutalkoiden meininki.

Toki tässä taustalla on broligarkkien erityisen typerä tapa tehdä asioita, mutta tulee kyllä mieleen myös kotoisa […]

Pyöräpajoista ja erityisesti @pyorapajahelsinki istä tuli mieleeni tämä toverini Johanna Valtan johdolla @antroblogi.fi in kirjoittamamme teksti aiheesta. Eli pyöräpajat itse tekemisen, itseorganisoitumisen, tai järjestäytymisen, ja yhteisöllisyyden tiloina. […]

No niin, Jessi Jokelaisen Femokratia (2024) on ollut pöydällä joulusta lähtien, ja nyt tartuin siihen.

Vähän noloa omien jutskien mainostamista, mutta oli kunnia olla Antropodin haastateltavana Papua-Uusi-Guinean ympäristökysymyksiä käsittelevän kirjani tiimoilta. Erityiskiitos Antropodin erittäin skarpille haastattelijalle.

Jakson voi kuunnella täällä […]

Jos joskus vielä kevät koittaa, niin voi kaikkien hemmettien hemmetti, että vaihdan voimansiirron. Ainakin etu- ja takarattaat sekä ketjut—ehkä myös keskiön.

Harjasin äsken skeidat pois voimansiirrosta. Ketjut olivat venyneet niin, että kun kiristin, niin […]
