Colder than predicted weather and a late finish meant a risky hike down so hitched down to meet a heroic uber driver to get back to camp. Thinking that TDF fans are the best fans. Also 🙏 for kindness of strangers, and this hitchhike sunset view.

Was a long hike and wet weather but worth it to catch the end of Stage 19 of the TDF. 🫶 Jonas Vingegaard

4 years ago, environmental lawyer Dang Dinh Bach was unjustly imprisoned in Vietnam. Finance is now flowing for a "just" energy transition, but critical voices like his remain silenced. We call for Bach’s urgent & unconditional release! #FreeBach #StandwithBach

One of the participants in the workshop I facilitated this week referred to millennials as the older generation. I am GenX. Ouch. But bright side it was a human rights workshop so I guess the kids are alright.

a set of bubbles summarizing things people were saying all week in Berlin during Local First Conf and User * Agents * Berlin about the intractability of making free software that gives users agency, while also paying the rent.

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin

The privileged act of naming often affords those in power access to modes of communication and enables them to project an interpretation, a definition, a description of their work and actions, that may not be accurate, that may obscure what is really taking place. -bell hooks, Teaching to Transgress

4 large stickers. One say Migrant Justice. One says MAGA is a facist cult. One says protect people, not borders (in Dutch) and one says ban Trump.

Got some stickers to wear on my shirt when I run the Utrecht marathon in a couple of weeks.

Looking forward to teaching this with @rightscolab.bsky.social colleague @joannebauer.bsky.social. Please share with your networks. Call for participants: Training and funded research opportunity on #bizhumanrights for Russian human rights defenders in exile: araminta-advisers.eu/call-for-par....

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

It's been six months since I put this together and SO MUCH has happened since then. Please reply with more suggestions to add to this list. We need each other. go.bsky.app/JcbrRb8 #bizhumanrights

Ultimately, privileged people are able to make their own meaning and impose meaning on the world more than they are required to accept the meaning making of others. They set the terms of the interaction. This self-location is valued and extolled in Western societies. - Cyndi Suarez, The Power Manual

"Evil comes from a failure to think. It defies thought for as soon as thought tries to engage itself with evil and examine the premises and principles from which it originates, it is frustrated because it finds nothing there. That is the banality of evil." - Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem
