Råd om møter med kjønnsmangfold kan ikke ofres for politisk symbolikk Ikke stopp verktøyene som skal gi likeverdige offentlige tjenester.

@fagforbundet.bsky.social og FO er blant organisasjonene som gjerne vil ha rådene om hvordan offentlig ansatte kan møte kjønnsmangfold:

«Å skrinlegge disse rådene vil ikke fjerne behovet for dem. Det vil bare gjøre hverdagen mer usikker for både ansatte og dem som møter tjenestene.»

Second all of this. And even those people who do receive high-level training often find writing to be excruciating. It doesn’t have to be misery!

Whereas in some other mutualistic goby-shrimp relationships, gobies function as seeing-eye dogs ✨

This Valentine's Day, remember the blind goby (Typhlogobius californiensis), who mates for life. I guess lacking eyes aids in this life-long commitment 🤣 Proof that love is blind!

Peter Thiel og hans selskap Palantir jobber mot demokratiske verdier og er tett knyttet til Trump-miljøet. Det er ikke aktører Norge bør legitimere.

4/ Danish friends have pointed out that halibut is now also protected in the Danish zone of Skagerrak these winter months. The question is then: how is this enforced? And can we trust these bottomtrawlers will not target redlisted or protected species when they have been caught red-handed before?

How can we scaffold that growth rather than admonish students for not having it?

Screenshot of an X post by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar, 17h) quoting an exchange. Text reads: “DUCKWORTH: If it's true that we are not at war with Venezuela, will you advise the president to rescind his invocation of the wartime Alien Enemies Act? RUBIO: That was a mechanism to remove people from our country that present great danger DUCKWORTH: It's a wartime act. Are we currently at war? RUBIO: No” Below is a video thumbnail of Sen. Tammy Duckworth seated at a hearing table in a wood-paneled room, speaking into a microphone; a nameplate with “MS. DUCKWORTH” is visible.

Then Trump should rescind the order!

Ja, hvor er alle jobbene? Offentlig sektor presses til beinet av kutt, og både offentlig og privat higer etter stadig effektivisering og å kunne kutte i alle ledd. Her mangler ene siden av regnestykket!

Haigh's Porcelain Crab (Porcellanella haigae). It's hard to convey how impossibly small this was. It made the sea pen it's clinging to look like a sky scraper. You can see the grains of sand clinging to it. #scuba #marinelife #underwaterphotography

Eg ønskar ikkje vald på følk, men eg skulle ønske kvar og ein på Stortinget som har skamvitet å kalle seg sosialdemokrat vaknar med attergangaren til Odvar Nordli ståande attmed senga nattestid og berre ser på dei så trist, så uendeleg trist, som berre ein hedmarking, og spesielt Odvar Nordli, kan.

Page from a 17th century book showing a large circular hole in the centre where an illustration was cut out.

Someone made a very clean job when they stole this illustration from our copy of Blaeu's Atlas Major, v.1 from 1662. That it's historical theft makes it no less galling!

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen:

"If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU."

"Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.
