Det Àr orovÀckande hur mÄnga vanliga mÀnniskor Röda korset möter som behöver stöd för att ekonomiskt klara av det vardagliga. Som ganska nyligen inflyttad till Sverige har jag blivit förvÄnad över hur pass dÄligt skyddsnÀtet egentligen Àr. 𧔠1/3

Röda Korset i Uppsala ser varje vecka till att mÀnniskor fÄr tillgÄng till klÀder, hygienartiklar och samhÀllsinformation. Under de senaste tvÄ Ären har vi i Uppsala gett direkt humanitÀrt stöd till 4 574 personer och hjÀlpt cirka 3 900 personer att ta tillvara det stöd de enligt lag har rÀtt till frÄn det offentliga.
...
Behoven Àr ocksÄ lÄngt större Àn det vi mÀktar med, och vi möter i allt större utstrÀckning nya grupper som har behov av stöd för det allra mest basala. Vi möter barnfamiljer, ensamstÄende förÀldrar och
fattigpensionÀrer, som saknar pengar för mat och medicin, trots att de omfattas av samhÀllets skyddsnÀt.
Det vi ser i Uppsala mÀrks Àven av pÄ andra platser i Sverige. Det bekrÀftar Svenska Röda Korsets nya rapport HumanitÀrt bokslut 2025 ... . Den bygger pÄ vittnesmÄl frÄn 109 civilsamhÀllesorganisationer frÄn Kiruna i norr till Malmö i söder. 75 procent av dem tror att den sociala utsattheten kommer att öka de kommande tvÄ Ären.
...
Vi i Röda Korset har lĂ„ng erfarenhet av att vara pĂ„ plats för mĂ€nniskor i utsatthet. Och det kommer vi fortsĂ€tta vara. ... Men vi tar nu allt större ansvar med insatser som borde vara krisĂ„tgĂ€rder â inte en del av ordinarie verksamhet. Vi kan inte fylla de luckor som myndigheter mĂ„ste ta ansvar för.
Man brukar sĂ€ga att ett samhĂ€lle definieras av hur vi tar hand om de mest utsatta. Det vi i Röda Korset i Uppsala möter i vĂ„r verksamhet och det vĂ„r rapport vittnar om Ă€r nog nĂ„got som mĂ„nga inte förvĂ€ntar sig i Sverige. Mot den bakgrunden mĂ„ste vi dĂ€rför stĂ€lla oss den enkla frĂ„gan: Ăr det sĂ„hĂ€r vi vill ha det?
Du som inte vill ha det sÄhÀr, vÀnligen kontakta en politiker och berÀtta om det samhÀlle du vill se. LÄt oss visa att vi Àr mÄnga som Àr villiga att stÄ upp och kÀmpa för ett medmÀnskligt Uppsala.

So many gems... "You have to second guess yourself just enough to make constant revision productive and not debilitating. ... Something ineffable happens when you write down a thought. You think something you did not know you could or would think and it leads you to another thought almost unbidden."
Andrea Mann@andreamann.bsky.social · 4w ago"By writing, you are literally firing up your brain and therefore stirring up your conscious thoughts and something new emerges. You are not, or at least not always, transcribing something already present in your conscious thoughts.â LOVE this piece. www.historians.org/perspectives...

RĂDDA NATTĂ GEN TILL ĂVRE NORRLAND!
Regeringen har inte gett Trafikverket de pengar som behövs för tvÄ nattÄg till Norrbotten. NattÄgstrafiken till LuleÄ halveras trots att tÄgen ofta Àr fullbokade. Inga sov- och liggvagnar kommer gÄ norr om Boden. Det Àr en historisk nedskÀrning. Alla boende i Jokkmokk, GÀllivare, Kiruna, Abisko, Narvik, men ocksÄ turistnÀringen och alla som vill resa klimatsmart till och frÄn Norrbottens inland, behöver bra nattÄgsförbindelser!

Are you interested in #Latin? In July each year, both new and experienced Latinists gather at Frigolet Abbey near Avignon for a week of lectures and discussions in Latin. Of course, there is also plenty of casual conversation, eating, drinking, and laughing! Please contact me if you are interested.
Placetne tibi #linguaLatina? Mense Julii latinistae et novi et eximii una septimana Frigoleti apud Avignonem quotannis conveniunt, acroases latine recitant, disputant. Etiam scilicet colloquuntur, comedunt, bibent, rident! Quod si tibi interest, mitte mihi questiones tuas, quaeso.
Let my CFP go forth into the world! Naturally, if you know me, you'll know my own research has focused on guildhalls for a couple of years now - but I've long wanted a book that considers other "theatres" of the Renaissance. So please, come and join me in proposing chapters đ

A little bit of an odd request. Does anyone know any textile history experts with knowledge on the linen trade in Brittany, Normandy, or Flanders during the 18th century? Trying to identify a marking on an object in our collection!
Extremely niche--anyone know if in ancient regime France the day of a nun's profession might be termed her 'journee?' (Script is clear, abbreviations not an issue, inscription grammar is often...condensed.. so I'm brainstorming)
I'm looking for the technical term for these #interior #wicket/dog #gates from the C17 - if there is one. Rare survivals which are not often recorded. Ours dates to circa 1614 and is only mentioned in W.G. Clarke's publication of 1921. Any pointers to other examples would be greatly appreciated.
I have one last slot for the 2026-2027 NNI Scholars Seminar - it's in October. Any historians, art historians, literature folks, etc., have anything Dutch Atlantic that they want feedback on?

In the end, the digesting is the problematic part. Making knowledge and meaning out of letters and words is a complicated task best done by humans. In nuce: do not let a machine that was trained with letters and words make meaning for you. Think for yourself. Read on your own.

Constantly left astonished at Western reporting on people seeking asylum. 54 HUMAN BEINGS dead in an unbelievable tragedy at Ceuta and the media insist on leading with 'MIGRANT INVASION'. You inhumane bastards. What if they were your loved ones? When empathy gives way to hate, we're all doomed.
