Turkey's foreign affairs committee is scheduled to discuss Finland's Nato membership on Thursday.

That's according to news service STT, a story picked up by many papers, including Maaseudun Tulevaisuus (siirryt toiseen palveluun).

Consideration about Finland's Nato membership can possibly be moved to the general session of the parliament as early as Friday or Saturday, Turkish paper Hürriyet (siirryt toiseen palveluun) reported.

Turkey's parliamentary foreign affairs committee will meet on Thursday afternoon, according to Turkish news agency Anadolu (siirryt toiseen palveluun).

On Friday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkey has decided to start the ratification process of Finland's Nato bid. President Sauli Niinistö met Erdogan in Turkey last week.

At the time, Erdogan said he hoped the ratification would take place before Turkey's May elections, scheduled on 14 May.

Meanwhile, Hungary has said the country's parliament will vote on Finland's Nato membership next Monday.

Turkey and Hungary are the two remaining Nato member states yet to ratify Finland and Sweden's membership applications.

Election debate season in full swing

Yle hosted an election debate between the chairs of the three largest parties on Tuesday night, with Prime Minister Sanna Marin (SDP), Petteri Orpo (NCP) and Riikka Purra (Finns) fiercely contesting the issues.

Helsingin Sanomat (siirryt toiseen palveluun) was among the papers covering the debate, which at one point dealt with the topic of the possibility of immigration being a way to deal with Finland's labour shortage.

The Finns Party's Purra said,that rather than increasing work-based immigration, Finland could solve personnel shortages in the healthcare sector through salary increases, more study positions and aptitude tests.

The Finns Party stance greatly differs from other leading parties, which generally contend that Finland needs more foreign labour because of its ageing and shrinking population.

Earlier on Tuesday, another election debate hosted by Ilta-Sanomat (siirryt toiseen palveluun) saw Purra and Marin clash over immigration.

Purra said that nurses without language skills are an additional burden and drive nurses out of the field citing nursing unions.

Marin interjected saying that her statement was false.

"This is pure populism! I don't know which nurse you have spoken to, but I have spoken to these organisations," Marin said.

Dumping diesel

A fleet of Finland's largest and heaviest dump trucks are getting electrified, business daily Kauppalehti (siirryt toiseen palveluun) reported.

The Kevitsa open pit mine near Sodankylä in Lapland is 270 metre-deep. Driving from the mine's edge to the centre is about 2.5 kilometres along a switchbacking road.

In a first for Finland, the mine is planning on electrifying 13 dump trucks in its fleet.

The mine is installing pantographs onto the trucks — the same technology already used in electric trams — and creating electric tracks for the trucks to move up and out of the quarry.

The dump trucks are normally powered by diesel and use 15 litres of fuel per kilometre.

Over the next 10 years, the open-pit mine will become about a half a kilometre deeper due to continued mining.

Hunter what the FUCK-

.

#love this because it's the following reaction to the last ask #this is funny considering 72.7% of 44 people who interacted with the poll considered Hunter worthy of forgiveness. which is around 31 votes #tbf forgiving is one thing but moving on is very different #someone commented on the post saying they would forgive Hunter but would struggle to continue friends/acquaintances with him #and honestly? that's absolutely fair. but yeah you can guess Bee's reaction to the truth wasn't the best one #Hunter is used to her explosive reactions so he kinda expected her to lash out #but worse than that he was met with an utter and deadly silence. B2 never made it clear whether or not she forgave him #on one side all those years of hardwork and friendship sounded like a lie and she struggled to process the weight of it all #on the other side she wasn't the only person affected by his past actions and that infuriated her even more.#a whole civilization was nearly annihilated by Bee's kind - all because Gideon decided to send 'em off to war #the same civilization he's infiltrated under the disguise of a 'rebellious android'#the same civilization they spent years trying to rescue and save. the same civilization she considered family. the closest thing to home #------ now to a more inconsistent and unexplored side of this story...#There's a Certain Event that takes place after this and is very heartbreaking. however I'm not entirely sure if Hunter's told the truth-#-before or after the final conflicts of the story were over #i like to think he waited until the very end to talk to Bee. presuming it was safe enough to do so #It's likely Bee was so hurt and angry that she promised to go back to her Real Home (to her orbit as a comet) and never look back #and that's when- oh boy i talked too much in the tags again!#oh gee! so sorry for rambling #i'll stop here :]#the continuation to this can be found in an illustration i'm working on!! stay tuned!!!!#ok byeee #inbox #fusionsprunt

[17.08.24] 9/50 days or booklr

I've finished reading Garden of Earthly Bodies which has a very weird premise and I just wish it had been even weirder. And then I was so excited to know about Casey McQuiston's new book! But unfortunately, this one fell flat for me. The Pairing sounded very cool but I found the characters annoying and the misunderstandings silly. But I can see this one still working out for some people.

#it is a shame because i didnt like their last book either #and this one sounded promising #did you guys read these two books??#booklr #audiobooks #50 days of booklr #read in 2024 #the refuge of books

so from my experiences of being around transfem people taking estrogen, it seems that your periods actually start to sync up with the people around you who menstruate

#girl got period cramps earlier than usual last night and I felt like it was my fault for sitting next to her w the worst period cramps ever😭#happened after i had been sitting next to her for hours #this is one of those things where i'm like yeah this sounds more like placebo/conspiracy but nah it's been true every time #my period is somehow the strongest and i can make peoples periods start up to a week early just by being around them for a couple days #i've caused periods to be late too 😬#it does NOT make sense but i promise you it DOES happen #i've had a lot of conversations w people about how freaked out they were by it #.bdo

You guys ever think of Layclaire. You guys ever think of how afraid of intimacy Hershel must have been after the Randall incident. You guys ever think about how he was so bashful with Claire and how that might have been because he was scared of emotional vulnerability but still willing to try. You guys ever think of how she was ripped away from him just as he was getting comfortable. You guys ever think about how Hershel's hat is symbolic of his tendency to hide his emotions. And how Claire gave that hat to him just before she died. You guys ever think of him taking it off after she said "I know you'll stay strong" and disappeared. You guys ever think of the way Claire's confidence helped Layton recover from his trauma.

Anyway here's the lyrics to Um It's Kind Of A Lot by Will Wood. No I'm not drawing parallels again I just want to show you the lyrics to Um It's Kind Of A Lot by Will Wood. uh huh. yeah.

#i lied i've been thinking about them for an hour and associating every love song to them #parallels kinda fall apart in the bridge a bit but uhhhhhhhhhh #'here's one last lyric to sum up these thoughts i struggle to come up with to make me sound deep and smart and then i promise i'll shut up #wait let me think hold on i got this anything but i'm in love with you'#also also #'could you be the light my x-rays need' i'm bleeding on the floor #i'm not insane i swear #song headcanons #professor layton #hershel layton #claire foley #professor layton spoilers #pl spoilers #unwound future spoilers #professor layton and the unwound future #unwound future #layclaire

Chappel Roan saying she’s sad she’s demisexual and then there’s me being aroace as a whole like don’t you think I’m even more sad 😭

#not saying she’s not allowed to feel sad at all #just makes me think about myself LOL #I hate being aroace it’s like everyone’s part of a secret club I will never be a part of #and that people don’t tend to understand and if they do they never uphold that fact #like I actually have thrown up before from the concept of being in a relationship because it’s horrifying #and disgusting to me in a practical sense #like I don’t want to throw up every time I start thinking about those things I just want to be normal #and not panic like a relationship sounds like even worse than a death sentence #ppl think aroace is cute and problem free but it’s literally so uncomfortable and inconvenient when you’re in a world which a) doesn’t #understand wth aroace is b) doesn’t respect it at all c) has shit povs on what friendship is and how it can be more fulfilling than somethin #and d) how badly it impacts some ;-; like ik it sounds easy but try telling yourself omg I want to have a forever bestie #but then said forever bestie will never end up truly putting you first because they’d have a partner who will be their number one #and as usual you won’t even be second place you will be last like always #because I’ve noticed that the moment ppl get a partner suddenly they become their forever bestie role and then I can’t have that cause it #freaks me out and disgusts me all at once so I’m literally just cursed with forever feeling lonely and not meaning anywhere near as much to #someone who you wish could even look your way the way you do to them …#honestly by the day these reminders make me feel more and more aplatonic but it’ll simultaneously always feel like a hole in my heart #because apparently being aroace is like being some weird person and some freak #and not in the 𝒻𝓇ℯ𝒶𝓀𝓎 type of connotation LMAO I mean just plain freak #and then that loneliness will always accumulate and accumulate and accumulate until I physically cannot handle it anymore or I take matters #into my own hands and just off with her head to myself LMAO #dora daily #and that is why despite aroace being cool to me it’s just not placed in an environement which makes it cool #as those assholes tend to say oh meh meh meh you never struggled girl … we’re in the 21st century every person in the lgbt community is #living the life dating who they want and being with who they want #but allegedly it is but a crime I can’t like anyone and that nobody fucking listens to me when I say I have an attraction deficit #and that they take it upon their hands to define what I’m attracted to or head canon me as whatever they are #I swear I’m not even fucking worth that shit just leave me alone 😭#I promise like if I was with somebody they will regret the day they were born by being with me LOL I am not all that in fact me being aroace #is saving them from torture ☠️ anyways ! rant over :3

He hears her laughing before he sees her. Can hear her giggles from down the block. The sound, that sweet melody, floats on the breeze and brings a grin to his face. One he can't get to go away no matter how hard he tries. So, he lets it stay. Grins all the way to the playground, smiles wider at the sight that greets him.

Ellie, on the ground, with about five kids, young ones, all on top of her. She's laughing so hard now she's barely making noise and something warm and soft spreads through his chest at the sight. He wishes he had a video camera, so he could record that laugh. Burn it to a DVD and carry it with him everywhere he goes. So he can hear it whenever he wants. Wants to be able to keep it, cherish it like the precious thing it is.

She manages to get her feet back under her, rises from the ground with a roar. The kids all shriek with laughter and run away, darting in all directions. She chases after them, growling and laughing the whole time. She isn't much taller than the kids, despite being fifteen. Never did hit a growth spurt, even after coming to Jackson. She's small but mighty.

His little fighter.

She manages to catch one of the kids, Alice. They let out matching giggles when Ellie sweeps her up into her arms. Alice screeches with laughter when she spins her in a circle and Ellie joins in. The sound of it makes something in his chest clench. He blinks and Alice isn't Alice anymore.

Blinks and Ellie is holding a mini Sarah, while the real Sarah stands by and shakes her head at their antics. Can see her in the corner, rolling her eyes and fighting off a smile. She'd join in, after a while, he knows she would. And then it would be both of his girls, chasing his grandchildren around. Can picture joining them, can imagine the taunts of come get us Old Man, yeah Dad come get us as they both race away from him.

It hurts him, makes his chest feel tight. Makes his heart hurt, that his two babies never got to meet. Hurts him somewhere deep inside, that Sarah never got to meet the little sister she always wanted. Pains him that Ellie has to be the little sister to a ghost. They would have loved each other, he knows they would. Knows Ellie loves Sarah anyway, without ever having met her. Knows she would adore being Aunt Ellie.

"Joel, Joel help," Ellie yells, bringing him back to the present.

In a bid to rescue their friend, the other kids have joined forces and are currently using Ellie as a jungle gym. She has one on each arm and one on her back, arms around her neck. Two of them are wrapped around her legs, sitting on her shoes. She's trying her best to walk despite the weight, walking towards him with exaggerated roars and a blinding smile. It's kinda impressive, that she can still move at all, toting around 5 kids.

His little fighter indeed.

"Uncle Joel, help us, help us," one of the kids shouts, breathless from laughing.

Uncle Joel. He still isn't used to hearing it. Isn't sure when it started, exactly. Being Uncle Joel to every kid in Jackson. All he knows is that one day he was dubbed Uncle Joel and it's been that way ever since. Not that he minds it, not at all. Doesn't even mind being roped into babysitting at events, because the kids love him and he loves listening to them laugh. Loves listening to them have normal childhoods, something so simple but so rare in this world.

"Uncle Joel to the rescue," he calls.

The kids all cheer from where they dangle off Ellie. She does her best to shoot him a look of betrayal but her smile kind of ruins the effect. He advances on her, even as she does her best to run away from him. She doesn't get far, the 100-and-something pounds of small children slowing her down. He raises his hands, wiggles his fingers in her direction.

"Joel, don't you dare, Joel. Joel!"

He lunges forward, digs his fingers into her sides. She bends at the waist, like he knew she would. Collapses into giggles, gives the kids an opening. They take it, piling on top of her until she's once again on the ground. She must sense that she's defeated, because she spends an awful lot of time "dying." Makes noises and bemoans her fate, before going limp. The kids all snicker at the production.

She would have made a good Aunt.

"Kids, ice cream," Alice's mother calls from across the playground.

They all abandon Ellie in the pursuit of frozen goodness. One of them stops halfway to the ice cream, turns back around. Falls back on top of Ellie, hugs her around the middle. Races back to meet the others with a thanks for playing with us thrown over his shoulder. Ellie watches him go with a smile on her face. She never had a childhood, and he knows how important it is to her that the Jackson kids do.

"I want ice cream," she complains with a huff, even though the smile on her face never wavers.

"We have some at home," Joel informs her, reaching down to help her to her feet.

She uses his hands to stand, follows the momentum to wrap her arms around his middle. Squeezes him tight, seemingly for no other reason than she can. He hugs her back, rests his cheek on the top of her head. Loves that she is still short enough for him to do that. Loves that she probably always will be. Presses a kiss to her forehead, just because he can.

"I earned my ice cream," she says matter-of-fact, "dying is hard work."

"You sure did, Kiddo, you sure did."

Yeah, she would have been the best Aunt ever.

#the next WFWWS one shot is on the way I promise #until then have this because my brain wanted you to have it #this is like barely edited #because I slept too long last night and my brain is just making the dial up internet sound rn #but anyway #here you are enjoy #ellie williams #joel miller #tlou #tlou fic #tlou drabble #Z writes #my fic

#the problem with writing an old mond fic that I'm trying to explore Topics with is #it has dwelved from 'I want to write about why Amos stuck with Deca for so long and the messed up love between them'#to. oh boy. googling the life of the last emperor of china of which I am morbidly facinated with.#(terrible spineless self centered coward of a guy. treated as god since age 4)#(but also general chinese emperors and royalty who all really sucked and basing deca and amos both on a lot of that)#to general little morality things bc. its a story of how amos was complicit/supportive of terrible things under deca but still joined rebel #to. reading about the causes of revolutions???? and writing that into old mond's inherit instability and why nb's revolution worked #into now. attitudes on the ethics meat consumption of bc amos is a hunter who grew up outside of old mond and its culture #and forced into old mond's culture (<- my backstory for her)#which also has implications of Amos having to struggle to reconcile her heritage culture with the one she has to live in now #........and though it I keep forgetting that the initial thing I wanted to explore is deca/amos Problematic(tm) love #which means the plot is now a dredged down mess I'll have to fix in a second draft #......uh for anyone who thinks this sounds interesting. no promises on it actually getting finished or being good #this has spirled way out of control from its initial inception #but ya know all art has a political slant to it and boy nothing says political like 'story about revolution' so we'll see how this all goes #(this is also why I don't write fic or stories often lol I take its ideas too seriously and it completely consumes me until I finish it)#personal //

It sounds super vain but I'm so curious as to why on earth I have a stan account (if it even exists at all). Are they posting secretly obtained cat photos?

#that anon has me mildly concerned but mostly amused #there's nothing to stan!#anyways. i had two horrific nightmares #both with people who i respect a great deal. the first one was with my former arts coordinator (who is now retired).#basically she told me my writing was shit and if i didn't vastly improve in a short while #there would be nothing to pursue. it was more harsh than it sounds... trust me #the second was with a girl who we'll call kaylee. now for some odd reason #i was renting a room from kaylee in an area similar to my old church (which i GREATLY despise). i would never live there voluntarily.#in the dream #it was the day i was moving out to some other shack on the far side of town; i packed up all my stuff and tossed it into some dream dimensi #then went and ran errands with my mother for a veeeery long time. it was only supposed to be for an hour #but it was more like dusk to dawn.#back to kaylee. the thing is that kaylee simply wanted to talk to me about something #face to face. it was nothing serious #like how i was evading my rent. i can't remember it now.#anyways. since my mother is holding me hostage and making me spend the entire day chained to her side #it's impossible to get back to the room and talk to kaylee. understandably #she's pissed. i've promised her something simple #and now i've wasted her entire day and her patience. but kaylee is understanding #so she waits. and then she begins to start asking questions of a political nature...#which were the same that withered away my last friendship. the dream ends #and i wake up in a cold sweat.#g-d! that's way too many tags.#zelma who?!

really hate to say it because i do hate posting on facebook so so much and have not done so in years but literally within a couple hours of making a stupid post in a county rentals group i have gotten multiple tips and inquiries about places to live. goddammit

#have already talked to one that would have involved doing mini horse care in exchange for rent discount which would have been nice #but she seems to want a really strict feeding schedule which my work does not accommodate and her (multiple) posts about the place seemed to #indicate she only wanted 4 days a week and now she's acting like i would have to be available to do all of it for when they're on vacation #(retired) so it can't work? i think it's kind of silly to be super strict about your horses feeding time for multiple reasons but #none of my business and if you have that much of a stick up your ass i probably would not love living there anyway #but she hasn't responded to my last message yet probably because it's late so maybe she will come back and clarify. but besides that there #are a couple other places i got messages from too that sound promising #this does mean i have to spend my day off tomorrow talking to people which is horrible but needs must #me
