Worked on this wildfire investigation for the last number of months with colleagues across the EU. To publish today is, sadly, very timely. While Ireland doesn’t experience the ‘mega fires’ we see in Spain etc, the damage caused to protected sites here is actually far greater than most of Europe.

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.

I’m coming to understand that maintaining hope is radical.

Here's what I have to say about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Is it bad that Elon Musk has a trillion dollars? Yes, and here’s why | Ingrid Robeyns

Just as the ‘poverty line’ determines what’s required for basic living, we need a ‘wealth line’ to show when extreme wealth becomes harmful, says economist and philosopher Ingrid Robeyns

Today marks the start of my last month as a postdoc in Finland. As much as I would like to say I managed to secure myself another position, the (academic) job market is rough right now. I’m officially #OpenTowork. It’s not all bleak as I'm moving back to NL - and my partner and our cats (1/5)

A whine I need to get out before it chokes me: I'm on the job market (aren't we all) in NL where academia is falling apart (isn't it everywhere). Since defending TT positions have disappeared. At first there were a few teaching only jobs, but those are now mostly "junior" lectureships for grads

What a crushing loss. She was so brilliant. As many others are saying here, if you haven't read Persepolis, do it as soon as you are able. Her generous, witty, humanist, nuanced vision is more relevant now than ever. www.france24.com/en/culture/2...

French-Iranian author Marjane Satrapi, author of 'Persepolis', dies of 'sadness' at 56

French-Iranian author and illustrator Marjane Satrapi, best known for the book and film “Persopolis”, has died of "sadness", members of her entourage said Thursday. She was 56.

In underfunded fields, people tend to do their own work. In overfunded fields, people pay others to do everything, including “their” research and writing. It’s not an accident that AI is an overfunded field that grew out of other overfunded fields.

Incredible operation to save invaluable heritage materials. It really says something about the nature of Israel's war against the Palestinians that an organisation founded to support refugee welfare also has to undertake such efforts to preserve the records of their existence.
