Contested wilderness: The importance of narratives in shaping environmental and tourism governance under a changing climate in Svalbard, Norway Narratives play an important role in shaping conflicts over land use and resource management , as different perceptions of particular places and their…

And that these narratives shapes what are seen as appropriate responses to the changes. That realization eventually led to an article that are now published! @ragnhildfd.bsky.social @vestforsk.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

While doing field work in Longyerbyen on responses to climate- and environmental change in tourism management, it soon became clear that there were several partly competing narratives about Svalbard's wilderness and how it should be used..1/

«What, then, was the responsibility of the alpinist when faced with these political developments? Was it to remain “anonymous,” à la Heckmair? To turn away from the valleys altogether? To ignore the facts in the lowlands and disappear into the landscape?»

Triumph Without Will In this Full Value story from Alpinist 91, Christopher Elliott interrogates the history of climbing in the Brenta Dolomites, the Nazi preoccupation with mountains and the responsibility of individuals...

If you were a famous climber in prewar Austria, would you suck up to the praise and interest bestowed on you by Nazi propagandists? Extremely timely and interesting essay in the American climbing magazine Alpinist about climbing and politics in the Dolomites. alpinist.com/features/tri...

Part of a letter sent by a bunch of GOP members of Congress in favor of granting Maria Corina Machado the Nobel Peace Prize, which she won today. The last three paragraphs, before Rick Scott and Marco Rubio's signature, reads: The Maduro regime's abuses and assaults on the civil society and legitimate political activity of Venezuelan citizens have caused millions to flee to other countries, while millions more have had no choice but to remain in the prison Maduro has imposed on them. The peace of the region has been greatly disturbed by Maduro’s welcoming of some of the world’s worst actors, including terrorists and dictators who support him. It is our firm belief that María Corina Machado’s courageous and selfless leadership, and unyielding dedication to the pursuit of peace and democratic ideals, make her a most deserving candidate for this prestigious award. Her efforts not only highlight the urgent need for international solidarity in the face of aggressive and expansive authoritarianism but also serve as a reminder of the power of individual bravery in the quest for justice.

Huh. Gonna be an awkward day for Secretary of State-National Security Advisor-Acting Archivist Marco Rubio.

I forlengelsen av NRK sin «Hvem var Charlie Kirk?»:

Max Verstappen er en nederlandsk yrkessjåfør

Arne Treholt var en norsk sladrehank

Roald Amundsen var en norsk turgåer

last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper"

anyways, great news! (1/X)

Simen Sandelien fabler om transtrusselen.

Når jeg holder foredrag om konspirasjonstenkning, pleier jeg å vise eksempler på hvordan det tar ca fem minutter fra noe skjer til transfolk får skylda. Transfolk er faktisk i ferd med å utfordre jødene som standard-syndebukkene for skrotinger.

Nå er dette mainstream. Sandelien er Høyre-politiker.

I wonder what will pass for normal discourse in the American right / MAGA in 10 years time if they continue to radicalize in the same pace as in the last 10.

“Charlie Kirk being assassinated is the American Reichstag fire,” said Matt Forney, a rightwing writer and blogger. He said Democratic politicians should be arrested and the party banned. “It is time for a complete crackdown on the left.” He was not alone. Katie Miller, the influencer and wife of Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, said liberals were to blame for Kirk’s killing. “You called us Hitler,” she wrote on X. “You called us Nazis. You called us Racists. You have blood on your hands.”

These two paragraphs, these two statements one after the other is quite something.

Stemmer teller, ressurser avgjør. Nå bør et nytt Storting fort som svint skjerpe reglene for valgkampfinansiering å tette høla slik at ikke styrtrike enkeltpersoner eller andre kan få lov til å kjøpe neste valg. De har hatt stor innflytelse denne gangen. Kanskje er det siste sjanse.

Valghilsen fra fjellet!

Okei. Helt seriøst nå.

MDG måles til 7,1%. Det er vilt bra!
Men dette er IKKE trygt.

Sist vi fløy så høyt var i 2021. «Klimavalget». ALLE trodde MDG skulle ta sperregrensa.

Vi kom skarve 1721 stemmer unna.

Det kommer til å skje igjen om du ikke stemmer grønt i dag.

Greta Thunberg er ikke farlig. Klimastillhet er det. Og trumpismen som mandag kveld traff Norge, skriver Live Nelvik.

"Greta er ikke farlig. Hun kan hverken fysisk stenge en eneste oljeplattform eller skru igjen gasskranene, Sylvi. Klimastillhet er farlig. Derfor skal vi bruke de siste ukene av valgkampen til å snakke om den. Det skylder vi ikke bare Greta, men barna våre" www.aftenposten.no/meninger/deb...
