⁉️ Why do some interactions make sense only if you know what happened before? Our (Arnulf Deppermann and myself) new ROLSI special issue on interactional histories explores how shared experiences across time shape social action, activity, recipient design, etc.. www.tandfonline.com/toc/hrls20/5...

The first UNMOC of 2026 is under way and the training is progressing as usual, but something is a bit different this time. There have been cameras and microphones in classrooms, exercise grounds, and ...

A fun path from "one of the researchers from Oulu" to a "guest lecturer" and now a "team interaction instructor" at FINCENT's UN Military Observer Course. (Also collecting data again, 5 years since the last time.)

Being a linguist / conversation analyst can take you to unexpected places. 🤓 #emca

I was served my dish at a pizzeria with the appropriate "buon appetito", and instead of the "grazie" I thought I already had in the chamber, what came out was the most Aldo Raine ass "buOnGioRno" imaginable.

Avoiding eye contact with the waitress now as I eat my pizza in shame.

I'm fairly pissed at Past Me for planning such a stressful spring / early summer for Present and Future Me, but at least Present Me had a paper accepted for publication today so that helps a bit!

It's also unusually warm for April in Oulu, which is nice but also quite scary.

As a student, I used to work in a science centre which had its own cinema, and learned how to operate this 1970s 8/70mm OmniFilms IMAX projector. A 40min film weighed 40kg, was laid on a vertical spinning plate, and had to be ran through several pins through the projector and anto another plate.

Going old-school today teaching sequence organization in the #CA class! The students also seemed to be having fun putting these seemingly random lines in an order that would make sense as a conversation.

Does anyone recognize what classic data this is from? 🤓 Extra points for the correct order!

Tämä ei ole hyvän mielen postaus, mutta ehkä syksyn tärkein postaukseni. Suosittelen kaikille tutkijoille ja tutkimusryhmille: käsitelkää törkyriskejä ja suunnitelkaa toimenpiteitä etukäteen yhdessä.

Lähiaikoina on tiettävästi odotettavissa törkyä tiedeyhteisöä kohtaan. Ketjusta muutama pikavinkki.

Eilen inboxiini tipahti tieto, että minulle on myönnetty (Suomen ensimmäinen...? 👀) Asiantuntijaviestinnän dosentuuri Tampereen yliopistossa! Sähköpostin allekirjoitus ja CV (tässä järjestyksessä, obvs) päivitetty. 💪 Iso kiitos @niinalilja.bsky.social järkkäilyistä, kiva päästä tekemään yhteistyötä!

The announcements at the Stockholm-Arlanda airport have no chill:

Okay okay I won't, Jesus. 😳

Vaikka aikanaan olikin kova kiire kotipitäjästä maailmalle (no, Ouluun, mutta tässä tapauksessa lasketaan), niin ei siitä mihinkään pääse että hyvä siellä oli kasvaa ja lapsena nuohota peltoja ja pusikoita ja polokia pyörällä kylänraittia. Kylä kasvaa mutta fiilis ilmeisesti säilyy!
Etenkin näinä kirkkaina kevätpäivinä Liminka tuntuu erittäin elävältä paikalta asua.

Jengi touhuilee pihahommissaan, lasten trulliporukat kiertelevät talolta toiselle, töriseviä hanhiparvia matkaa yli.

Tämä osaa olla hieno kylä.

I don't love the fact that the printed out memes on my office pinboard that were meant to be ironic turn out to be prophetic instead. That's the wrong ic, pinboard meme!

For those still learning about the nuances in the concept of personal space in Finland, know that I consider both of these scenarios equally unacceptable.

I much love our neighbourhood library's commitment to

A) this being the definitive and forever recognisable image of a mobile phone, and

B) avoid advertising any brands by censoring the logos, thus rendering the make and model of this phone completely unrecognisable.
