One thing that really annoys me here living in NL is the constant use of our doorbell. Children asking for recycling, charities, neighbours being passive aggressive, please do not ring my doorbell if you do not want to talk to me - do not make me run downstairs for nothing several times a day.

Congrats to Hungary! I guess JD Vance shouldn’t be sent to influence anything as in Trump’s words he seems to be a big looser (cannot get myself to the all caps style though). Trying to influence elections did not work and Hungary is back as a EU partner and real member! 🎉🎉🎉

My little brother was in Afghanistan with the German army! He did so to defend the U.S., because Germany is part of #NATO. Certainly my brother did not stay a little back!!! @bundeskanzleramt.bsky.social I hope you do what Starmer did and call the idiot Trump finally out!

Just going to leave that here. Hope others follow his lead in becoming more independent from the U.S. and start resisting. It is indeed a new world order and living in the E.U. I hope our heads of state start finally saying 'no!' to the U.S. tyrant. www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/...

So what’s next? Europe and the U.S. start military hostility? How come there is no mechanism in the U.S. to stop that maniac? The damage he has done to his country is already permanent but for the arrogance they carried about being the best democracy in the world the U.S. fell quickly.

That the question of international law is even asked- the latest U.S. movements are simply neo-colonialism. It is about oil and the U.S. decided they want it. The threats to Colombia and Greenland-next steps?

Back in grey cold NL. What a privilege that the women I met and know shared their spaces and lives so generously with me. I was invited to the most inspiring spaces which showed me how positive change can look like. Something desperately needed in the times we live.

Yesterday I had the amazing opportunity to get to know two communities in and close to Cali. Thanks again for inviting me. Both communities are extremely inspiring and show us how to create communities of care, something I hope I will be able to explore more in the future with colleagues in Cali.

That international development & cooperation is mistaken as charity by leading political figures should worry all of us. Shutting down USAID will have security consequences. E.g. no screening of people travelling by air from countries with Ebola outbreaks etc.

Watching ‘when they see us’ episode 2 has a part in which Trump makes stupid remarks. Racist of course and just to make trouble. If we only would have known how dumb so many of the US population are voting years later and make him their hero who continues to destroy what he can.

First time in Cali. I cannot explain why yet but I immediately liked the city upon arrival. Rarely have that. After 15 years coming to Colombia it did surprise me how different Cali is and yet so familiar. Looking forward to explore more and build a network here. Give me a shout if you are around!

Finishing a book manuscript of a pretty innovative co-authored book which I will tell you more about soon. However we do publish it in Spanish and English. This helped me once again realising how working in different languages really creates a greater sensitivity of the possible violence of words...

Welcome to the challenges to come in #2025 🎉 I realised wishing a happy 2025 seems rather unrealistic. the last years I wrote messages of hope. This year I decided to just prepare myself for the next thing(s) to come. So instead I wish you all much energy to stay optimistic & keep pushing for change

Unpopular opinion but I absolutely hate fireworks. No idea why people think it is fun to create artificial warzone sound. Why do the Dutch do this all night long for days? Apart from the environmental issues the constant noise of fireworks is unhealthy & distresses animals & humans alike. Just stop!

We have not been taken serious so far. While we appreciate that current reduction in cuts care more for students, they do not change the situation in universities. Research money is still being cut which means NL higher education will become irrelevant in research and innovation.

Dr Sonja Marzi @sonjamarzi.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Stop the cuts! Higher education in the Netherlands is going red today. Last week we were on the Malieveld with 20,000+ people. Our message to politicians was: 'don't do it!'. #KabinetSlooptHogerOnderwijs #DoeHetNiet #StopBezuinigingenHogerOnderwijs

So yet another grant rejection. It has become increasingly difficult to do research in NL and Europe, especially for those not doing quant AI research. It seems nothing else is important anymore or deserves being funded & with the government cuts I am wondering if I even can continue my research.

I am so tired to have to justify to positivists and quant people why I am working with small groups of people as a participatory action researcher and do not do surveys. If SSH means getting evaluated mostly by psychologist and AI scholars then diversity in research is certainly not happening. #NWO
