Ah well...I have a PhD interview this Friday. Now I'm more concerned about answering questions like "Why Sweden?" and "Why our university?"

Meanwhile, I’ve spent months in #Fiji living with the quiet dread of an accident or medical emergency, and when I finally spoke up about it, I was shot down like a bird 🐥🤦🏻‍♂️

So here I am, grounded — literally and figuratively. And yes, boo hoo, #FirstWorldProblem. I'm whining about my travel woes.

The Fijian Government took nearly 9 months to process my residency application. Because, surprise, LGBT+ couple!

Without my passport, I couldn’t finalise my #NewZealand visa, which I started back in May. Fast forward to today: we’re technically flying in a few days, except I cannot.

I love it, I miss it, you should give it a try 😊

The article raised a few questions for me:
- In federal systems, what (if any) role do the regional gvt's play?
- What is the situation here in the Pacific? I see 'women' being mentioned in the DRR circles, but in practice?
- Implementation rarely matches policy, I wonder how it is in reality.

I’m especially saddened by the silence of so many of my former colleagues—particularly those from countries that fund, defend, and support Israel. The suffering in Palestine demands our voices, not silence. We owe it to those we’ve pledged to serve.

Amazing. I had no idea. Instant sub.

While this is not a common view I get to see, being able to enjoy such views rather frequently is 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

However, not hearing back from the numerous online volunteering applications I submitted is 🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥.
