Another killing by ICE, this time in Maine. That’s twice in one week. How can America keep asking immigrant workers to work as usual if they are being shot dead on their way to work? Stop killing us.

Victoria Stead reviews Tuomas Tammisto's 'Hard Work' (2024) in 'Oceania'. Check out the #bookreview at: doi.org/10.1002/ocea... If you're interested in the book itself, it's freely available via: doi.org/10.33134/HUP... @tutam.bsky.social #anthropology #work #PapuaNewGuinea #openaccess
The cover of 'Hard Work' by Tuomas Tammisto. The cover shows a person standing in a lush, misty tropical landscape. Next to the cover, there is a quote from a book review written by Victoria Stead and published in the journal 'Oceania' on March 27, 2026. The quote reads: "In extending across these domains, the breadth of Hard Work's scope reflects the depth of Tammisto's ethnographic engagement with Wide Bay Mengen people and places. The book is a testament to the work – indeed, the hard work – of ethnographic commitments and inquiry."

Taas mennään: Hallitus valmistelee lakia, joka antaisi Rajavartiolaitokselle oikeuden tarkastaa ihmisiä, ajoneuvoja ja tavaroita sisärajoilla ilman rikosepäilyä. Tämä muistuttaa käytännössä sisärajatarkastusten palauttamista. Ja tätä perustellaan… turvallisuudella.

On anteeksiantamatonta, että kansainvälisen yhteisö on hiljaa kun Syyrian hallinnon joukot hyökkäävät kurdien kimppuun. EU:n korkeat johtajat olivat jopa paikalla Damaskoksessa samaan aikaan. Kurdit olivat keskeisessä roolissa Isiksen nujertamisessa ja ansaitsevat nyt kaiken tuen ja solidaarisuuden.

Maailma palaa, mutta pieniä valonpilkahduksia: valtaosa Suomen tiedelehdistä ovat täysin avoimia, voittoa tavoittelemattomia ja vapaaehtoistyöllä pyöriviä. Se on itseorganisoitunutta yhteishyödykkeiden tuottamista, ja vaihtoehto riistävälle kaupalliselle akateemiselle julkaisemiselle. #openaccess

Mitä helvettiä tässä maassa tapahtuu? Karhu, ilves ja saukko ovat luontodirektiivin tiukasti suojeltuja lajeja. Esitetyt muutokset ovat lain vastaisia. Pidän erittäin huolestuttavana, että tässä maassa on ilmeisen vaikutusvaltaisia tahoja jotka eivät piittaa laista tuon taivaallista.
