I'm really proud to have been one of the lead authors of Oxfam’s global inequality report this year.
And honestly a bit overwhelmed by the impact it’s having this morning. When you’re used to your writing being read by a couple hundred fellow nerds, this is something else.

"The struggle for a just transition is not simply about the sharp moments—confronting corporations, stopping pipelines. It is about building, in the ruins of the present, the infrastructure that will allow us to keep going when the fight stretches into months, years, lifetimes"

To provide some context for all the non-Danish speaking people here: Jarlov is a member of the Conservative Party and somewhat of an idiot who embodies a very typical Danish colonial attitude toward Greenland - so I wouldn’t listen too closely to what he has to say

"I am head of the defence committee in Denmark It is my job to be on top of security in Greenland and I get all relevant information about it. I can assure you that your fantasies about a big threat from China and Russia against Greenland are delusional."

The most common experience with the Danish Postal Service in recent years is: sitting at home all day waiting for a package, then getting a note saying, “We tried to deliver it, but you were not home so we have left it at a shop miles away instead".
