Jag har skrivit en essä om Frantz Fanon; om den Andres blick, alienation, existentialisterna & Hegels herre-slav-dialektik. Om hur ens identitet konstitueras i relation till de Andra — snarare än uppstår i det inre, oavhängigt omvärlden – & ansvaret detta medför. www.sverigesradio.se/avsnitt/fran...

"Centre-left parties can build a broad new coalition of support if they tackle Europe’s deepening housing crisis, researchers have said. Conversely, ignoring it risks pushing increasingly fed-up voters into the arms of the far right."

Interesting on sleep & cognitive issues post covid:

"Lower lung gas-exchange efficiency within the #LongCOVID group was associated with worse sleep symptoms, poorer executive functioning, and higher cerebral perfusion, suggesting a potential lung–brain pathway contributing to persistent symptoms."
Poor lung gas exchange may help explain lingering brain symptoms in Long COVID
This study found that people with Long COVID more than two years after infection showed normal lung tests and brain structure, yet reported significant sleep and cognitive symptoms. Subtle correlation...

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

"If we can learn to see every person as a ‘fellow sufferer’, and thus extend our compassion without discrimination, then there are, even in these hard times, genuine grounds for hope."
A new biography shows how Schopenhauer’s philosophy of universal suffering might offer surprising grounds for hope.

It's cool that we can conduct these population cohort studies using Swedish register data.

Less than 1% (21 out of 2467) underwent a legal gender reversal following a legal gender change.

"These results highlight that legal gender reversal was an infrequent occurrence in a national sample."

Mamdani always said rent freezing was only part of the solution for more affordable housing. Very interesting to see this as the next step!
Learning that Annemarie Gray (no relation) of Open New York, NYC's YIMBY group, has been appointed to Mayor-elect Mamdani's housing transition team. This is FANTASTIC news!

I really enjoyed the exhibit "When We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in Painting" at Liljevalchs in Stockholm. It's organized around six themes: The Everyday, Joy and Revelry, Repose, Sensuality, Spirituality, and Triumph and Emancipation.

Took the boat there – nice way to spend a Sunday!

British Covid inquiry finds many parallels with the Swedish one.

"too little, too late"

"excessive optimism"

"lockdown could have been avoided" by swifter action

February 2020 was "a lost month"

"lockdown a week earlier could have saved thousands of lives"

First new type of malaria drug in 25 years.

"Promising results from a new malaria drug offer hope against emerging drug resistance in Africa. In a clinical trial, ganaplacide–lumefantrine (GanLum) cured 97.4% of participants, outperforming an existing treatment, which cured 94%."
First new type of malaria treatment in decades shows promise against drug resistance
If approved, GanLum could be available within a year and a half, according to maker.

Something any survivor of abuse can tell you is that one of the most painful parts of surviving abuse is the isolation that follows. Abusers are seldom abandoned, but victims are.
"Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein" is a phrase that first appeared in newspapers in March 2011 and appeared regularly from that point onward. it is INCONCEIVABLE to me that this many people were still associating with him!!
