Bravo for all airport strikers in Germany! 100% affected as I was going to fly tomorrow, had the chance to take a train to Paris instead, but this is what I call a good strike. Strikers are asking for €350 more per month. Which according to circumstances it is not much to ask.

Solidarity with American universities. We all know how these bans will permeate into funded projects. Similar concerning trends are (re)emerging in Europe, where Horizon funding for LGBTQ+ studies was recently removed from the draft budget. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
The Words Federal Agencies Are Discouraged From Using Under Trump

Feb 11, @madianou.bsky.social will talk with the NLP-CoP about her book Technocolonialism. This will be a good space for a convo about tech, humanitarianism, and colonialism. We planned it last year + it's so relevant now. Personally, I'd love some nuance on the topic. merltech.org/humanitarian...
Join us for a special NLP-CoP members-only event with: Mirca Madianou, author of Technocolonialism - MERL Tech
Join the Humanitarian AI+MERL Working Group and Mirca Madianou to discuss her new book on "Technocolonialism."

As quote follows: given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality". What appears to be happening here is that Meta is making space for religious voices to make arguments against LGBTQ individuals under the guise of 'religious discourse'.

In 2021, I wrote an article for RTÉ analyzing the affair between Zuckerberg and Trump in the aftermath of the Capitol. I predicted their story wasn't over then. Recent developments brought this chapter to an end.https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2021/0119/1190648-donald-trump-mark-zuckerberg-facebook/

"I think the model still holds, and that's because the kind of political will and power to intervene concepts are fluid enough that they can hold for different regime types, different political situations with of course, unique wrinkles in each context"

I’m very saddened to hear about Thomas Hylland Eriksen’s passing yesterday. Globalisation: Studies in Anthropology was and it is influential to me. Those who know him say that he was warm, generous and constantly curious thinker. A rare kind.
