I think this is an excellent analysis of what's going on right now. Much recommend the first article in Foreign Affairs' current (as of writing) issue.

Mens andre stresser med politikk har jeg vært og nytt et langt kveldsbad med badstu hos Sagene folkebad. Kanskje politikerne burde gjøre det samme? Vanskelig å være stiv og kald når en sitter i dampen og svetter, og det er helt utrolig hvem man ender opp med å prate med der inne. 🤷😊

Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

Jeg er ekstremt glad for at Rødt fortsatt er med på dette laget, for vi så jo åssen det gikk med AP og SP (den venstre-regjeringen jeg har minst til overs for sånn omtrent evar). Og så syns jeg det er fryktelig hyggelig at R nå ikke lenger er et parti "man kaster bort stemmen sin på"... 😄

Happy #BuyNothingDay! I am celebrating with a good book, cat cuddles and excellent coffee from the pantry. Later: leftovers, a yoga class at my favourite neighborhood studio and a trip to a sauna in the woods in the evening. I love local volunteer initiatives like the Oslo saunas! #SharingIsCaring

I would like to point out that I went from hardly ever reading books for years to having read 48 books in a year. This is not counting study literature (only voluntary reading counts imo). Pretty pleased! I'll be overshooting the goal for sure, and my goal was ambitious to begin with...

Did my first ever double pole class (120 mins). Tried to knit a round on my sweater two hours after class end, and had to give up because my arms just hurt too much 😂 I do love the challenge, tho.

Åh takk gud, vi har enda ikke et genuint fascistoid høyresideparti i Norge (herrefred, siden når et jeg så letta for sånne selvsagt heter?!):

Dansk Folkeparti har tatt innvandringspolitikken enda et steg til høyre. Frp kommer ikke til å følge etter, sier Erlend Wiborg.

En jævla svær drone fløy akkurat over huet mitt utenfor Via i Ruseløkkveien i Oslo... Det var ingen amatørdrone ut i fra størrelsen heller. Noen som vet hva det kan ha vært?

We're still here, still trans talented and still LOUD. Honouring all those people who came before. Trans suicide numbers worldwide are a serious and little spoken about issue in the global picture, which really needs talking about more.

Today and every day, we honour the lives of all our trans siblings worldwide who have been taken from us. Each name represents a person, a community, a story cut short. Their stories endure in our memory and in our ongoing struggle for justice.

Weeeeee! My voice is coming out the speakers! Hihi! (Harrumpf) I mean, uhm, our album is out like, real soon. Yeah. ::Pretends to be a real hard rock dude::
O M G, guys. We got the masters today. Our new album is done! We're very excited. It sounds great. To be found on streaming platforms shortly: "Project : Novichok" by us, the Novichok Projekt. We will announce the day of release shortly.

I apparently needed to borrow a huge 46kg shepherd dog to help me realise I'm now in pretty good shape. She's made to run around for hours - but she tires well before I do on walkies. I'm kinda torn between pride and utter shock, because I'm so not a sports person. Blame yoga/poledancing, I guess...

Fascist Russia is at war with the West. We are in the middle of World War III.
This war will not end until we understand rashism (Russian fascism) to be a variant of Nazism (German fascism). Russia’s genocide of Ukrainians is a crime comparable to Germany’s genocide of the Jews.
