Just trying to make the world a little better - for us all.
Let's be clear: DEI efforts do not cause plane crashes.

Watching Whiskey on the Rocks. One can only hope that the present will appear equally comical and quaint in 40 years time. If the world still exists then.

There's enough food in the world to feed every single human. Marginalised groups enjoying their human rights is not a threat to anyone else. Consuming more + more will not make us happier, it will destroy the earth. This is not rocket science. But clearly too hard for billionaires and tech bros.

We are experiencing the enshitification of our world at the hands of billionaires, fascist, and (old) white men.

I just learnt that DC has been full of inaugural balls this last week or so. And that Republican families use this for match-making between their kids. Bridgerton much!?! 🥜 #inauguration #US #Bridgerton

Recommendations for dystopian novels? Just finished Gliff by Ali Smith which was 👍 and now want more of my fav genre! And to be clear, I'm looking for fiction, not contemporary non-fiction... #dystopia #novels #literature

Surely kids' birthdays should really be about celebrating parental resilience.

Oh piss off Trump, Musk, and Zuckerberg. Why is it so hard for you to try to make the world a better place for all?

If you're still on X, Facebook or Instagram, today would be a very good day to shut that down.

Someone should tell @theguardian.com that that's a picture of the Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson. You're welcome. #Finland #Sweden #Baltics #Nordics #samesame

Americans take note: this is not a christmas jumper. It's just what we wear in the Nordics.

(A propos three Americans complimenting me on my "christmas jumper" this week.)

"Having a smart process is more important than having a smart tool". Love this quote from @clombion.bsky.social. Thanks Cédric for sharing your insights on data management in today's ICT4D Conference webinar! #data #ICT4D

That feeling when you're sitting in a café reading about how donors want to introduce biometric registration for by and large EVERYONE in a very vulnerable country without providing a sound justification for doing so. SILENT SCREAM. #biometrics #aid #ICT4D

Finland has a 1340km border with Russia. Our family home was built when #Finland was part of Russia in the 19th century, + survived the war in the 20th. On Independence Day, + every day since #Russia attacked Ukraine, we raise the Ukrainian flag in support + solidarity #slavaukraini #independenceday

Things that are evident for my daughter, but weren't for me growing up:
- female presidents
- women in the military
- same-sex couples and parents
- women's sports being more interesting than men's 😉

There is hope. Let's nurture it.

No surprise. 🤬 #StoptheGenocide #Gaza
1/5 A groundbreaking Amnesty report published today concludes Israeli authorities are committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. www.amnesty.org.uk/genocide-rep...

Google is set to build a data centre in northern Finland. The right-wing PM is excited. But data centres do not bring significant employment. Instead Finnish tax payers will be subsidising Google's power bill, while seeing pristine forest destroyed. #google #data #climatechange #datacentres #Finland

Had a great time speaking to Jonathan Jackson, Erin Quinn + Aime Vaccaro of Dimagi about my journey into #ICT4D, current work at CRS + some of my passion topics - digital localisation, data ownership, diverse teams + not doing tech first. Hope you enjoy! #digital #development #tech okt.to/hKi8MA

"reducing carbon dioxide emissions with sufficient speed to head off the climate crisis is impossible if we pursue economic growth at the same time"

Anyone else reading Kōhei Saitō's Slow Down?
