Terwijl de gletsjers sneller smelten dan ooit, en de overstromingen in Spanje en de bosbranden bij LA nog vers in het geheugen zitten, neemt de Tweede Kamer stelling.

Hate that it has come to this, but it's time to consider PubMed vulnerable to enshittification. My latest post @plos.org discusses the lines we need to fight to hold – and alternatives we can rely on internationally:

It seems PubMed has disappeared. This is the digital equivalent of burning a library.

De inauguratie van Trump bedreigt vrouwenrechten in grote delen van de wereld. Wanneer autocratische leiders organisaties die opkomen voor vrouwen chanteren, moet Nederland hen de hand reiken. We roepen het kabinet op: blijf opkomen voor de rechten van vrouwen en meisjes.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
