Det jeg har møtt i Fukushima, er en langsom katastrofe som fortsatt pågår Når Norge nå diskuterer ny kjernekraft, diskuterer vi ikke bare energi for de neste tiårene. Vi diskuterer forpliktelser som strekker seg langt forbi alle som i dag deltar i debatten.

Tomorrow it's 15 years since the triple disaster of earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdowns struck Japan. In today's Aftenposten, I'm writing about my visits to Fukushima and what the possible lessons for Norway today are.

The front cover of the book "Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex" by Angela Chen

Just finished the book ACE: What Asexuality reveals about desires, society, and the meaning of sex. High recommend anyone and everyone 10/10. My biggest realisation from this book is that I am one very ignorant girly😭
At least now I am a bit less ignorant now👍

If you have concerns about the production of your book manuscript or how a publisher is engaging with AI, *please* ask your dealbreaker questions well before you are holding a contract in hand. You will lose months if not years if you wait until after peer review (and likely won’t get what you want)

I dislike when people reduce important, history-making moments in modern life to pop culture references.

But also fuck it, this is a super great time to rewatch Andor.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

How were the clinical definitions of ME/CFS and Long COVID developed, and why do they matter?

With no single diagnostic test, diagnostic criteria are used to guide care, communication, and research.
