Central atrium of the new library. Looks like a white tree trunk with reading platforms stretching up to a branched glass roof. Brick buildings surround it.
The new University of Amsterdam central library is really very pretty.
I do like a good library 🤓

Vrouwennetwerk FNWI: ‘Bètafaculteit aan de UvA nog altijd een old boys network’
Hoewel op 11 februari de International Day of Women and Girls in Science op het programma staat, is er volgens het vrouwennetwerk Women in the Faculty weinig reden tot feest. ‘Iets weerhoudt vrouwen ervan hoogleraar aan de FNWI te kunnen worden.’

With this in mind, if you are having panels installed, do find out beforehand what happens if they break (who would/should you call to get it fixed, who will pay for what, etc.).

Getting the solar panel system fixed turns out to be significantly more complicated than I had anticipated.

One of the most effective things you can do right now to fight Trump and ICE is to cancel your ChatGPT subscription.

UvA presents Vinod Subramaniam as new Chair of the Executive Board
Vinod Subramaniam has been appointed as chair of the Executive Board of the UvA. This did not go entirely smoothly, as the advice of the Central Student Council was blocked by the Activist Party due to dissatisfaction with the selection procedure.

Today our new minority government will unveil its programme. Would like to be optimistic, but given VVD in the mix (the party responsible for many of the problems) it's tough. Let's see.

13/ If an American opposes what ICE is doing but not enough to vote in the primaries or general against a candidate who cheerleads for it then whether it's fair to say "this is not who we are" it's definitely fair to point out that "this is who we are willing to be".

4 drivers wrestle with a large snow chain that is determined that it now lives on the rear wheel of a snazzy blue bus.
Scenes this morning at Bormio bus station as snow chains refuse to dislodge from our bus.
Cheers erupt when, after 15 minutes, 4 guys finally manage to chisel it loose.

Huge props to the search team, volunteers, emergency services and local politicians/civil servants who helped to make this possible, all strength to the owners as they rebuild, and infinite tuna to the kitties as they continue to be fluffy chaos bundles. Utrechters are the best!!

With one more twist! When they brought Cara back to their temporary accommodation, Doerak had escaped! After a brief panic, he was apprehended. All kitties safe and sound.
And that, lovely people, is exactly how it should be.

Appeals were made! To the council, to local politicians...
According to messages in the Utrecht Facebook group "Huisdier Vermist/Gevonden Utrecht stad e.o." the owners were able to get into the house, with support from the fire service, to find....NO CATS IN THE HOUSE. Cats do not make life easy.
