Katja Kontturi<p>Kesäloma menee kirjoitushommissa: ensin työstin Archipelacon-esitelmiä, ensi viikolla lähden Hämeenlinnaan romaaninkirjoituskurssille, ja sen jälkeen jatkan tutkimusartikkelin ja tutkimussuunnitelman parissa. Josko näistä kuitenkin jotain tulisi.</p><p>Kirjoitin Archipelaconista lyhyen coniraportin blogiin, ja avasin hieman tällä hetkellä työn alla olevaa ankkatutkimustani.</p><p>Tämän postauksen myötä aloitan vuosittaisen somelomani. Palataan elokuussa!</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Archipelacon2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Archipelacon2</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/AkuAnkka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AkuAnkka</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://ankkatohtorinlokikirja.com/2025/07/04/archipelacon-2-ja-tyon-alla-oleva-ankkatutkimus/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ankkatohtorinlokikirja.com/202</span><span class="invisible">5/07/04/archipelacon-2-ja-tyon-alla-oleva-ankkatutkimus/</span></a></p>
Brian Nisbet<p>Another <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Eurocon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Eurocon</span></a> over, and what a great con! Over 700 people at a con on a relatively small island. Really good vibe and great to see Eurocon going so strong!

Anna D<p>Sitter på balkongen och lyssnar på panel om vad muminböcketna kan lära oss om demokrati. Räknar antalet personer som virkar och stickar i publiken nedanför 🧶 Minst ett dussin.</p><p>En tidigare programpunkt handlade om vilken nytta man kan ha av sin pandemihobby efter katastrofen. Tror att vi har goda förutsättningar. (Inte minst för att vi här övar oss på gemenskap.)</p><p><a href="https://mastodonsweden.se/tags/archipelacon2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>archipelacon2</span></a></p>
e.e.varis<p>Hot tips from Post-Apocalyptic Life Skills panel ((fittingly?) the last panel I had a chance to see):<br>- You basically cannot kill Jerusalem artichokes (but they are not suitable for diabetics).<br>- There are collapsible looms, if you need to get migratory!<br>- In a pinch, you can put coconut water in an IV drip.<br>- No one is going to survive alone, so social skills are the most important postapocalyptic skills!<br>- And most importantly: you still have time to pick up knitting before the climate collapse!</p><p><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/archipelacon2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>archipelacon2</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/postapocalypticsurvival" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>postapocalypticsurvival</span></a></p>
Anna D<p>Det har varit en jättefin dag på Archipelacon. Jag har pratat med folk om riktigt nördiga saker. Robert Goddard, raketpionjären, blev intresserad av rymden genom att läsa Världarnas krig. De idéhistoriska ambanden mellan laser, radar, röntgen och science fictions strålpistoler.</p><p>Nu står jag och vaktar dörren, som funktionär. Strax stänger lokalerna för dagen och somliga drar över gatan på efterfest.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonsweden.se/tags/archipelacon2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>archipelacon2</span></a></p>

It was returned home after 200,000 years in Holland.

We're heading home to Fisksätra tomorrow.</p>
Martin Rundkvist<p>James Bryant describes his impressions of successes and failures of the 2023 WorldCon in Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Eero Suoranta / 艾若思<p>Still gathering intel. Lots of information to process, but it is clear that we should keep an eye on the academics gathered here.</p><p>...wait, that sounded ominous.

Eero Suoranta / 艾若思<p>Spies must be able to improvise and work with the tools at hand.

Eero Suoranta / 艾若思<p>Before I begin my report, I will once again repeat my strenous objection to combining a top-secret mission to a demilitarized zone with "Bring Your Daughter to Work Day". I have told Anya that we're simply attending some kind of literary festival. She naturally took this excuse at face value, although for some reason she looked extremely smug when I informed her of the trip.</p><p>For reference, here's a picture of her enjoying breakfast that I accidentally took while performing reconnaissance.</p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Archipelacon2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Archipelacon2</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/AgentTwilight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AgentTwilight</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/SpyXFamily" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SpyXFamily</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/FromMariehamnWithLove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FromMariehamnWithLove</span></a></p>

Martin Rundkvist<p>Happy to report that the <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/ArchipelaCon2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArchipelaCon2</span></a> conventioneers are far more interested in my research than the labour market is. In this case, the two manors of Olof Svart, who rose to prominence along with King Gustaf in the 1520s. I think there were over 30 attendees there. ❤️</p>
Martin Rundkvist<p>Ingvar the Swordsman and Erik the Granström attended my Dunsany reading! ❤️</p><p><a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/archipelacon2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>archipelacon2</span></a> <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fantasy</span></a></p>
