Good advise in this case:
”Be a little unapproachable, ready to say “no”, and always ask who else has already been tapped for this favour, and whether the person asking you to step up can’t do the task themself. Take a bit too long responding to texts and calls. Be hopeless at PowerPoint.”

Unique situation in Sweden when our primeminister is highly involved in a sector - #adoption - that has been investigated with a list of serious conclusions.

Ulf Kristersson måste svara om adoptionerna
Både jag och Ulfs dotter adopterades från Kina för 25 år sedan. Jag vill att statsministern förklarar sin delade syn på människor som kommer till Sverige.

In the first edition of People and Science #folkochforskning- conference, @vetenskapoallm.bsky.social CEO @ulrikabjorksten.bsky.social usefully highlights the science community’s ”principle of generosity”- before arguing we try to understand the other’s starting point and method. Then we critique!

Proud of my sister @frejahallberg.bsky.social who in Sweden’s leading newspaper lifted 5 ideas on how to strengthen culture in the country of @nobelprize.bsky.social in literature, ABBA, and Bergman. She even coined the term ”RIT-avdrag”!

Hey @ec.europa.eu why is Eurostat not on bluesky and still posting on X? How can you promote high quality statistics and data about Europe on a platform that is owned and destroyed by someone who is actively undermining fact-based public discourse as well as the international order?

🇬🇭 I learned something new about Ghana’s independence in this article - it was a midnight speech tradition to mark the break with colonialism.
🇬🇭 Ghanaians today celebrate 68 years of their country's independence and Kwame Nkrumah's iconic speech - a milestone in Africa's decolonisation journey. 🎉

Nkrumah’s rhetorical vision used the politics of the crowd to build a postcolonial community outside of the conscripts of colonialism.

Today is a reminder of Zelensky's superhuman stamina and strength. He deflected deeply unfair vile attacks in his 3rd language and kept it together while two bullies threatened his country's existence and repeated the tired but infuriating propaganda tropes of the aggressor.
