i know your blog says finnish grammar but honestly I have no idea who else to ask. If I wanted to learn more about Finnish mythology, what's a good place to start? I'm specifically trying to learn about Tellervo if you could help me out there.

Thanks so much :)

Sadly, there's very little sources even in finnish about finnish mythology. The christians spent over a thousand years painstakingly scrubbing out any trace or knowledge of The Old Pagan Habits of the common people, so everything that's left is a fraction of a fraction of a remnant of a trace. Researchers specialising in finnish mythology have occasionally resorted to comparing their sources with the mythologies of other peoples of common ancestry, such as Estonians, to see if there are similarities and which old details and traits were probably shared and original.

The finns didn't have a written language before the 1500s, and the first finns who could read and write in their own native languages were priests, determined to teach christian teachings to the peasants in their own language. Figuring out what old finnish folklore and mythology was really like is a lot like figuring out what dinosaurs looked like. The best we can do is look at the traces that remain and make educated guesses about it.

hello friend, i've added ur fundraiser to my linktree - even if i can't donate right now i know someone out there can.

Imagine being part of a minority group that not only has faced genocide on a number of occassions but also when history regales the horrors of other minority groups that were slaughtered yours is regularly forgotten or left out. And then western culture takes the racial slur that people associate with your minority group and then profits off of it and it becomes a trend to purchase things with your racial slur all over the product which has little to nothing to do with your ethnic group.

And then people apply that racial slur to themselves and use the excuse of "reclaiming it" when we all very well know that those people "reclaiming it" aren't actually part of your ethnic group. But your diversity makes a great cover for anyone that thinks that they can slip into it like a skin.

Additionally imagine if your ethnic group was so culturally appropriated that it isn't even treated like an ethnicity but a spiritual movement by western culture.

The North is not off the hook. Not by a long shot.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will
