Useful link

Not the happiest link, but very interesting one: How drowning isn't like the stereotypical idea of drowning at all. It was a little shocking for me to realize that I've never actually stopped to think about what drowning is really like, so this was an unsettling but necessary reminder.

Asshole Strike at a Finnish Pride

Today there was a Pride Parade in Helsinki (which I didn't directly participate this time, although I helped out as a volunteer), and during the parade the participants were attacked with pepper gas and smoke bombs. Apparently the people responsible were caught trying to hide the spray, but FUCKING HELL. A Finnish article here, and of course the first comment belongs to a whiner who feels it's awful that they had to sit in a streetcar decorated by rainbow flaqs.
