@kristelzilmer.bsky.social Glømte å sei takk for tipsene. Ikonmuseet var eit absolutt høgdepunkt men elles likte eg dei fleste tipsene dine, eg rakk desverre ikkje Kopli denne gongen.

My take: You can’t be a transphobe and an anti-fascist. If your human rights are not for everyone, you are passively or actively collaborating with fascism.

Husk også at #blivakker eies av en mann som donerer penger til nynazister (Norgesdemokratene) og ekstreme abortmotstandere, og ville reise en gigantisk statue av Herren Jesus Kristus Amen Halleluja ved innseilingen til Kristiansand. #FKStart har ingen problemer med dette. www.nrk.no/sorlandet/re...

Gutting IMLS is devastating. There’s funding to states that help provide access to the internet, electronic resources, programs that are meant to help the community. I don’t think people realize how big of a digital gap there is and how much libraries and museums supplement educational needs.
Do you value your library?

Trump just ordered the dismantling of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the key source of federal support for libraries.

Libraries are vital social infrastructure, the foundations of an open, democratic society. Gutting them means gutting our own communities.
Trump Orders Gutting of 7 Agencies, Including Voice of America’s Parent
The order targeting the agencies, largely obscure entities that address issues like labor mediation and homelessness prevention, appeared to test the bounds of the president’s power.

Dere vil også være interessert i å vite at Opus, Ryuichi Sakamotos aller siste film, nå er tilgjengelig på Filmoteket. Den har vært lite vist i Norge, jeg så den på Kosmorama i fjor, og jeg regner den som en av de helt store konsertfilmene

In response to Vance’s provocative speeches, Europeans have been talking a lot about military self-sufficiency, but they need to be talking much more about digital sovereignty and escape US tech domination.
