Vessa USA:ssa. Ja en nyt yhdistä tähän minkäänlaista poliittista kannanottoa.

Ok I cannot get Bada bada bastu out of my head today. Clever, catchy, funny. I am loving the Swedish #Eurovision pre-selection #Melodiefestivalen entry. A Finnish group singing about one of my favourite things in the world, #sauna www.youtube.com/watch?v=28__...

Mistäköhän voisi ostaa #salmiakki korvikset? Asun EU:n ulkopuolella, eli postitus Suomesta tai sitten käyn ostamassa keväällä pääkaupunkiseudulta. Ufo-korvikset olisi makeat!

No sólo es posible mostrar cariño a los niños estableciendo límites, sino que el hecho de establecerlos es una manera de quererlos.

Happy #InternationalMotherLanguageDay Every child should have the right to speak all their languages. This is why I research transnational families and volunteer for the Bilingual Family charity. Our website is now live; lots of resources for parents and educators from experts. bilingualfamily.org

Did you know Word speaks Welsh and does various regional accents! Today I sent my book to @multi-ling-mat.bsky.social Working title: Multilingual Family Language Policy and Wellbeing: Language Ideologies, Strategies and Experiences! It's been intense hyper focusing on a topic close to my heart.

I took my book draft for a tour of #Cardiff Cathays campus, Cardiff Bay, and Chapter Arts Centre in Canton. She’s almost ready to fly to the publisher! #writersofbluesky

Hope Rescue, a leading dog rescue charity in south Wales, is launching a plea for dog lovers to join the ‘Hope Foster Family’ and open their hearts and homes to dogs in need

My favourite words in my favourite languages I speak to some extent, most are significant to me or I use them often: FI: löyly (love that there's more löyly in Wales now) EN: imply CY: hiraeth (similar to PT saudade, beautiful) FR: nouveau ES: arreglamiento (q bonito) SV: språk IT: andare #langsky

Today I spent 13 hours editing my factual book (multilingual families); hyperfocus may be a superpower but also a problem for the aging body as I have hardly moved. I’ve just put a gym weights session, walking, and yoga in the diary for tomorrow! #writersofbluesky @academic-chatter.bsky.social

On a weekly basis I get called Kasia here in the UK, especially via email (at times Pankakowski, obvs my cool Polish alter ego). So I set up a name badge. www.name-coach.com/kaisa-pankak... What do people call you? #MyNameIs

“Wales’ higher education landscape could be ‘devastated’ by the large-scale cuts announced by Cardiff University, academics have warned.” 🖊️ @julietterowsell.bsky.social via @timeshighered.bsky.social

Scenes from this afternoon’s rally at the Senedd to protest the massive planned redundancies at Cardiff University, including the closure of our nursing school during a national nursing staffing crisis.

A petition in support of the School of English, Communication, and Philosophy at Cardiff, who are being threatened with job cuts that would be devastating for staff, students, and the university

You know that feeling when the you of today can’t quite follow the thought process of the past you. I put together this figure based on my research results in hyperfocus mode and now it makes no sense whatsoever 😅

It’s meeee! Being able to extend my PhD study and carry out dissemination activities in this time of uncertainty is precious. Grateful beyond words.

Cardiff University has announced it will axe its teaching of modern languages and merge four of its schools, cutting staff numbers by 50%. Please sign and share this petition in support of the wonderful School of Modern Languages at Cardiff! www.change.org/p/save-mlang...

Please help us to save Modern Languages at Cardiff University: chng.it/Hmtvvdtptg

Yesterday's briefing brought unsettling news. The plan is to merge all four #CardiffUniversity humanities schools into one large school. This new School of Global Humanities would house a Department of Welsh, but the number of jobs would be cut by 50%, from the current 240 FTE staff to 120.

Today is (possibly) the last day of proper work this year. I want to celebrate the people I have met in my academic research career over the last decade. Thank you, kiitos, gracias, diolch, tack! Here’s to 2025! Cheers! Full post on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/posts/kaisap...
