Norwegians: The Libby app gives you free access to audiobooks, as long as you have a library card. Somewhat ironically, my library has mainly English books.

I'm through Handmaid's Tale 1-2, It, American Gods, and now working my way through the Dune series.

Get it!

Seems like I'm putting on the #Anarchist hat for a possible panel discussion for Gender Studies NOW.

Prepare for CHAOS!

Or just some very reasonable arguments for why it's a bad idea to scream "activism!" at any critical inquiry to current political processes.

What can we do, as researchers, when politicians act in confict with the knowledge that is already out there?

Excellent talk with Bruce C. Glavovic, Timothy F. Smith and Iain White on "The tragedy of climate change science", and on the state of #academia and #democracy, in the podcast #EverydayAnarchism.

What can we do, as researchers, when politicians act in confict with the knowledge that is already out there?

And I broaden: How does this impact the relationship between the State and People to #Research? How does this relate to the stamping of #activism as "non-scientific"? And who should have the power to define what IS scientific?

This is Bruce C. Glavovic, Timothy F. Smith and Iain White on "The tragedy of climate change science".

I have been at work for five hours today.

Four have been spent eating cookies and drinking coffee.

Half an hour has been spent replying to an e-mail from someone wondering whether there was historically any Norwegian quicklime production from shell material.

Now I'm doing "work-related" social media. #Friday

OPEN ACCESS: "Quartzite mining is a craft that demands vast knowledge and good skills but little financial investment to be a prosperous trade ... Between 1950 and 1980 a number of companies aiming to modernize and improve the quartzite trade were founded. The companies had very little foundation in the miner’s co-op, they were often in conflict with the miner’s interests, and were run with no regard to the miners accumulated knowledge of the stone and the craft."
