How does one write about China's plans - solar or whatever else - in Tibet without recognising that the people have been marginalised and pushed out? The lack of understanding of land and resource rights issues among (mostly Western) climate reporters is sadly not new

Tenk om den evinnelige årlige 'debatten' om fretex og julegryte og jammen jammen endelig nå kunne stilne.

Jeg har bekjente som har mottatt volds- og drapstrusler etter å ha havnet på Kirks nettside, og Ulsteins forsøk på å gjøre Kirk til martyr for tros- og ytringsfrihet gjør meg mye mer forbanna enn tonen i innlegget. Så det er sagt.

Svar til Ulsteins forvirrede hyllest av Charlie Kirk som en forkjemper for ytringsfrihet på campus.

Dessverre bak betalingsmur.

(+) «Det Ulstein skriver om Charlie Kirk er i strid med de faktiske forhold»

AKADEMISK FRIHET: Dag-Inge Ulstein fremstiller Charlie Kirk som en forbilledlig forkjemper for åpen debatt ved amerikanske universiteter. Det synes jeg som universitetsansatt er foruroligende.

Today is “Coming Out Day.” At a time of intensifying homo/transphobia, being visible as a queer or trans person is personally risky and political resistance. But no one is entitled to your identity or visibility. You do not have to justify your existence to others. Just keep living unapologetically.

Det er vel ikke så relevant for KrF om "kristne verdier" er bedre enn andre verdier når KrF holder seg milevis unna kristne verdier uansett, er det det da?

Jesus hadde aldri i verden stemt på KrF, det sier de jo selv også 🤷

2/2 demonstrating (yet again) why a feminist analysis is absolutely essential to understanding our times. It is a real problem that much mainstream research extremism or the far-right completely (and willfully, in my view, given the brilliant research already out there) ignores this.

This is truly excellent work and provocative thinking by my dear comrade Petrus Liu. Do give it a read!

Made in China Journal @madeinchinajournal.com · 7d

What does it mean to speak of decriminalisation or depathologisation of homosexuality in China? In his new essay, Petrus Liu challenges Western narratives of queer progress, arguing that same-sex desire was never criminalised but rendered unintelligible within prevailing legal and cultural norms.

Queer Unintelligibility in China | Made in China Journal

It has become something of a truism, in both academic discourse and everyday conversation, that invisibility is a central form of queer oppression. In a culture in which queer lives are erased—whether...

Joda, jeg ser for så vidt den. Men jeg mener, som så mange andre forskere, at kjønn er så sentralt i disse ideologiske mobiliseringene at de koblingene og deres potensielle og faktiske konsekvenser er svært viktig å ha med.

Rett skal være rett: ak annonserte rett før valget at hun hadde trukket seg fra for og ikke var aktiv i valgkampen for partiet lengre. På athena er det jo også uthevet at hun er politisk uavhengig.
