Walking in our farm's rainforest with the melting heat of these days, I am filled with such inexpressible anger at what is being done to our once stable climate. The richest 1% are actively, knowingly, and uncaringly sabotaging the future for all of us, and for the rest of the planet's life.

Alle bør lese dette intervjuet med @joannarz.bsky.social om fattigdom i Norge, men kanskje spesielt politikere som stadig føler på et behov for å fortelle folk at de ikke bør være så syke og krevende for velferdsstaten. www.psykologisk.no/nyheter/norg...

Norges fattigdom er skjult. Men den vokser
Barnefattigdommen er tredoblet siden 2000. Psykologspesialist Joanna Rzadkowska sier økonomisk stress kan ligne traumetilstander.

Mitt romskip er lastet med science fiction og fantastisk litteratur, og i morgen tidlig bærer det til Lillehammer! @joannarz.bsky.social og jeg har fått æren av å arrangere årets Kritikerseminar og jeg gleder meg sjukt mye. Ikke minst til å snakke med Ali Smith om dystopier og framtida!!
Koffert fylt med bøker, øverst ligger Bing & Bringsværd - Tider skal komme, Glyph og Gliff av Ali Smith og Nineteen eighty four av George Orwell. Andre titler som skimtes bak er Utopia av Thomas More, The Island of Dr Moreau av HG Wells, Hjertet er en alien av Julia Martincic og Appelsiniakomplekset av Sigurd Tenningen og Jan Freuchen

Privatisation of the NHS NHS spends record £241m outsourcing scan analysis to private firms. Private sector focused on profit, not service. Money buys less. Public purse depleted. NHS capacity not expanded. Why would it train staff? There is no public mandate for privatisation of the NHS.

Pensioners in poverty skip baths as water bills rise. Full state pension (received by 35% of pensioners) is less than 50% of minimum wage. 2m UK pensioners live in poverty. In 2024-25, 88,000 pensioners died in poverty. Govts don't curb profiteering. Poverty is a political choice.

Catastrophic nature loss is at least as serious a problem as climate breakdown, but only gets a fraction of the (woefully inadequate) attention. THE most critical tasks of our time are: • Protect what remains of wild ecosystems • Mass rewilding where damaged or lost www.earth.com/news/africas...

A hate-driven agenda stoked by politicians & pundits has fuelled violence, intimidation & division. But we know the truth: ❌ Free speech is NOT a cover for hate speech ❌ Inciting hatred is NOT defending freedom ❌ Migration is NOT to blame for political and economic turmoil. It’s a scapegoat.

Just finished this amazing book and I’m feeling a bit nostalgic for the time before postmodernism took it’s hold. Maybe we should revive getting «back to the things themselves» with Husserl or thinking more about socioeconomic conditions, with Beauvoir & Sartre.
