Half-day of home office work after campus meetings in the morning, tweaking text and writing project summaries for a major grant proposal. All while listening to vinyl records such as this beauty - Low’s Things We Lost in the Fire. The weekend is almost here.

This is why you should use sunscreen, folks. The display copy of Silver Linings at the Stavanger Art Museum has a distinctly different color profile than the other copies.

So happy to see our «miljøfortellinger fra Japan» risograph publication in the Climate Emergency Reading Room at the Stavanger Art Museum. @melinabuns.bsky.social and Benjamin Hickethier did a fantastic job on this one.

TGIF with 150 new bird cards for Wingspan waiting for me in the mailbox. Just finished the most intense student assignment feedback period of my entire career. I failed almost all of them and had to give good instructions on how to improve the assignment to pass. In essence: read the instructions.

A few months ago, in order to stay in touch with academic research while I found my footing, I started helping former colleagues and some students with small research and editing tasks. These side projects reminded me how much I enjoy dealing with complex ideas.
