Commuting towards Lauttasaari from Kalasatama. Camera battery ran out when reaching the central Baana bicycle highway, unfortunately. Lots of loose snow, though things were in a much more better condition than the day before. At least now some of the bike lanes had been cleared of snow.

I recently bought an external mic for my SJ6 camera, so this was also a test for that. Works well, all the previous clicking noises from the camera itself have disappeared. On the negative side, the mic seems to pick up everything really well 😅

I wish the SJ6 had a better battery. I guess will just need to hook up an external battery for longer filmings. Also, it seems I've accumulated a dead pixel I've not at least noticed before :/

Today in Finland we had a national public transport strike, to protest against the government basically being full of shit heads. Lots of cars queuing in traffic, aww. Lots of honking. Lots of people walking about as well. If the cycle paths were actually maintained, maybe there would be more cyclists too.

Almost 10,000 Finns signed a petition against closing the border with #Russia

A significant part of the signatures were from families who live on both sides of the border. Citizens believe that the authorities’ decision violates the constitution and it is not their fault that they need to #travel to Russia and care for elderly relatives and the graves of their ancestors.
In #Finland
Finnish business also does not see the point in closing borders: Russia had a positive impact on economic growth and tourism.

🇫🇲 But the voice of the common people in NATO is not important - #Helsinki will dutifully carry out the #political course of the “ #master”.

Finland-Russia border: Helsinki closes busiest crossings

And another #forest is put to the ground, enforced by the #Helsinki police department, dragging protesters to jail, with the city threatening to sue the protesters, many of them local residents, for financial disruption.

The forest is a natural forest (natural as in not a forest field, which almost every forest in #Finland is, contrary to what even most Finnish people believe - yay for forest industry propaganda) with trees aging up to 400 years, home to many species of which 17 are classed as endangered, standing in the way of new houses. Houses the city planned to build here 20 years ago. The plans which have been questioned more and more by various environmental institutions. The city itself if in progress is evaluating the plans, yet at the same time other departments are pushing through cutting the forest down. This is very typical #Finnish bureucratic mentality - "we made these plans damnit, we're sticking to them, even if it burns our house to the ground".

This forest is called "Stansvik", and it will soon be another piece of nature lost to the greed of humanity. You can find more about it via https://stansvik.info/ (Finnish only).

Suojellaan Stansvik

https://stansvik.info/osallistu

Helsingin kaupunki aikoo tuhota ikivanhan luonnonmetsän — Itämeren saariston, mannermetsän ja historiallisten kartanotilusten kohtaamispaikan; monimuotoisen uhanalaisen ekosysteemin.

Kansalaisliike kutsuu mukaan jokaisen, joka kunnioittaa alueen eloa rakennetun kaupungin kupeessa. Tehtävää on jokaiselle sekä ennen hakkuita että hakkuiden käynnistymisen jälkeen.
