"Mäletan, kuidas sa mõne aasta eest südametäiega pahvatasid metsaraiumise kohta: see on ju riiklik laastamine! Ja veel enam jäi hinge kõrvulukustav vaikus, mis peale seda mõtteruumis maad võttis. Ei tõtanud keegi noid sõnu parandama ega ümber lükkama, las vana mees räägib, maailm veereb edasi, uued uudised tulevad ja ebamugavus lahtub, piinlik apsakas ununeb. Aga see, mis oli varjul nende sõnade taga, jäi. See pilt, kuhu osutas sinu tõstetud sõrm. Vaadake seda maad, milline häbi! See, mida riik on teinud oma loodusega, ei ole olnud väärikas. Eesti loodusega on läinud samamoodi, nagu läks indiaanlastega. Selle maa loodus on lõputute seadusemuudatuste, arengukavade ja töötubade kaudu viimaks ikkagi inimeste käest välja petetud, nende hinge on väärkoheldud, väärikust alandatud. Eesti Loodus elab edasi reservaadis, see on ilus, seda saab imetleda, sealt metsaande korjata, piltegi teha, seminare ja töötubasid korraldada. Aga midagi on muutunud, lõplikult. Midagi väga olulist on surnud – eks sõnastagem see. Mis see siis on? Pihta on saanud loodus, aga ka usk elu põhiväärtustesse. Usk Eesti looduse kaitsesse on kokku kukkunud. Selle asemele on tulnud teadmine, kui odav on riik, kui alandlik ja hirmunud, kui lihtne on teda raha ja ähvardustega üles osta, panna tegema seda, mida ta mingil juhul teha ei tohiks. Riik on samm-sammult taganenud raha surve ees. Riik on kaotanud väärikuse. See on kõige hullem asi, mis saab juhtuda. Loodus annab riigile väärikuse. Loodus on riigi südametunnistus. Ühiskonda ei iseloomusta mitte see, mida ta loob, vaid see, mida ta keeldub hävitamast. Nii on arvanud Ameerika looduskaitsja John C. Sawhill."

- Valdur Mikita Järelhüüe Fred Jüssile "Head teed sulle, kotkas"

Mul ei ole olnud mingisuguseid eesmärke, sest ma ei näe eesmärke. Minu silmade ees on tundmatu maastik, minu tee kulgeb sellesse maastikku või ta suubub sellesse või läheb edasi. Ma ei näe selle maastiku üksikasju. Ma ei näe, mis on mägede taga, mis on teekäänakute taga, mis on teispool orgusid, teispool metsi, aga ma pean teadma suunda. Ja see suund on minus endas olemas. See suund on otsekui mingi heli, mingi toon, mida ma ei tohi kaotada. See on kõige tähtsam. See on peamine. Ja kõik muu tuleb. - Fred Jüssi 1935 - 2024

I saw this too and it's about half a kilogram of THC per day per capita. Tallin as a whole would need around 750 million kilograms of THC yearly...

Nothing more humbling than thinking your pronunciation in your target language is good, just to schwa a vowel so hard the person you're talking to thinks it's a different language.

a friend of mine told me to share this story so here goes

So while I was at work the other day, and I was closing with this old woman, who's a jerk to everyone and their dog, but thinks she's the sweetest little angel. Including me. She's bigoted and sarcastic and just awful to be around - refused to call me and other trans ppl at work our names until she got reported for it, just so you know what we're dealing with here.

We were closing the other night, and I got to do dishes. I was listening to my music, which this day happened to be Käärijä (love that man sm). And this lady walks in and she sighs real loud, and I look back to see what's up, and she's looking at me with this nasty look on her face.

"What are you listening to?"

"Uh. Rap?"

"Ugh, that's not even music. That's just noise, how can you even tell what he's saying?"

"He's speaking Finnish."

"Well you should listen to music in English. We are in America. Listen to American music."

Now I already don't like this woman. Idk how she's not gotten fired yet. SO I decide im not doing this with her. I don't speak very much Estonian at all. But I switch to it.

"Mida?"

"What?"

"Mida sa ütlesid?"

"Speak ENGLISH!"

"Ahhhh. Ei, ei. Vabandust, ma ei räägi inglise keelt."

And she gets pissed about this, but I stand my ground and don't switch back to English, which makes her even more mad. Eventually she leaves me alone, tho. And I get to listen to Käärijä in peace.

Introductory Post

Hello everyone! My name is Timo, I'm an American that lives in Nebraska, and this blog will be dedicated to documenting all the steps I'm going to take as I attempt to move from Nebraska to Estonia.

What you'll see the most on this blog are my estonian language notes, little posts in Estonian as I try to practice it, tidbits about Estonian culture/history, and honestly anything related to Estonia that I find interesting.

I hope to make friends along the way with this blog! Hope you'll come along for the ride!!
