Ongeveer 11.000 statushouders krijgen jaarlijks voorrang op een huurwoning en ongeveer 100.000 tot 200.000 expats krijgen voorrang op een huurwoning dankzij de expatregeling, die het leven in de grote steden volstrekt onbetaalbaar heeft gemaakt, maar daar hoor je onze Volendamse nepregent niet over.

Another update: I’m a guest researcher at Utrecht University’s faculty of geosciences/copernicus institute for the autumn and winter period.

Very grateful to my host for having me and a gorgeous botanic garden right next to my new office 🌳

(plenty of time for coffees, too, if people are around)

Any narratives/rhetorics on invasive species management/eradication/marketing folks want to share their projects? (and thanks Hal Herzog for the title😁)

Eline D. Tabak @elinetabak.bsky.social · Sep 6

The @easlce.bsky.social deadline for Utrecht is fast approaching and @katiekung.bsky.social and I are still looking for one paper for a panel on care & invasive species tentatively titled: “Some we love, some we hate, some we kill: why it’s so hard to care for invasive species” #ecocriticism #envhum

Are any pals planning to be in the Dutch Nationaal Archief any time soon? I have two things I'd love to see (no more than a page of manuscript to photograph in each) if anyone's there and has the bandwidth!

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

Ars Technica @arstechnica.com · Aug 27

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.
