Ondanks dat ik nu in Nederland ben heb ik vorige week al gestemd als geregistreerd kiezer in het buitenland. Op de @pvdd-eerstekamer.bsky.social - voor natuur- én mensenrechten. 🌿🌈

Another update: I’m a guest researcher at Utrecht University’s faculty of geosciences/copernicus institute for the autumn and winter period.
Very grateful to my host for having me and a gorgeous botanic garden right next to my new office 🌳
(plenty of time for coffees, too, if people are around)

Huge thank you to @eseh.bsky.social & local @uu.se organisers for an amazing #ESEH2025. Seeing old friends & meeting new people; great research & wonderful art.
With just under a year of my contract left and the job market being what it is this may have been my last ESEH conf - but it was good :)

Gaia Giuliani’s Keynote “Monsters, catastrophes and the Anthropocene. For a postcolonial critique of violent bio- and necropolitics” #ESEH2025

Ready for today’s global strike in support of Gaza and to draw attention to the ongoing genocide. It’s a small sign of solidarity but it’s better than doing nothing

Morning in Stockholm: was going for a walk with less people and ended up in Rosendals Trädgård, a public garden on Djurgården where they practise biodynamic agriculture

Now waiting for the overnight ferry to Stockholm in rainy Turku. Delightful and (dare I say) productive week in Helsinki filled wirh gardens, walks, and meeting friends and colleagues. Surely that’s a good omen for #ESEH2025?

Active two weeks at university: yesterday we had the spring seed swap, today I'm presenting an overview of my postdoctoral research at the Eudaimonia seminar, and next week I'll lead a session on slow scholarship for our ECR network - Environmental CRitters
But really, I should be coding interviews
