I tilfelle noen lure på kordan det kan være å reise i Nord-Norge på vinterstid har æ i løpet av det siste døgnet fått elleve tekstmeldinger fra Widerøe.

@benthor Very neat! Thanks for posting about it. I thought my scribe way too new for anything like this to work.

"JUST TRANSITION OR ‘GREEN COLONIALISM’?

How mineral extraction and new energy projects
without free, prior and informed consent
are threatening Indigenous Sámi livelihoods
and culture in Sweden, Norway and Finland"
New report from Amnesty International
https://www.amnesty.se/documents/278/Final_Just_transition_or_Green_colonialism.pdf (PDF-file)

The report is in English, while the related webpages of Amnesty Sápmi (https://amnestysapmi.se/samers-manskliga-rattigheter-kranks-vid-exploaterinsprojekt-i-norra-sverige/), Amnesty Sweden (https://www.amnesty.se/aktuellt/samers-manskliga-rattigheter-kranks-exploateringsprojekt-sapmi/), Amnesty Norway (https://amnesty.no/rapport-just-transition) and Amnesty Finland (https://www.amnesty.fi/amnestyn-ja-saamelaisneuvoston-raportti-oikeudenmukainen-siirtyma-vai-vihreaa-kolonialismia/) are apparently only in local languages.

It includes the infamous human rights violations by Norway in spite of Supreme Court ruling regarding Fosen (loooon thread here: https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/113872396046073226)

@petralaiti Bures boahtin deike maiddái! :sami:

@drgroftehauge @davidho they're correctly referring to the development of the CO₂ mole fraction (as a percentage) which is a common way of describing concentrations in the atmosphere. It has changed from ~0.027% to ~0.042% over time, an increase of 0.015%. But they're of course pretty far off base by saying it's negligible as if greenhouse gases need large concentrations to be of any significance.

@gullvinge @forteller @mbergnordlie har opplevd at det er svært begrenset maks filstørrelse på <1MB for alle andre filtyper enn .jpg. Funker heller ikke å opplaste videoer i det hele tatt for meg noe som er ganske leit :\

@markus mitt banebrytende bidrag er at jeg fikk "kveldsvævd" inn dit

Absolutely heartbreaking but urgently important letter to an unborn daughter on the crisis men are falling into and the fallout that follows.

A fantastic series on the crisis in masculinity courtesy of #ZetlandMag - really worth translating this piece. But the whole series is brilliantly done.

@Ruth_Mottram This is such a beautifully poignant and candid piece of writing, even when google translated. Wish we had a similar discourse in Norway about masculinity and men. Goodness knows that we would need it. Thanks for sharing.

@joabaldwin Does this mean it may be better to buy the Kindle version to ensure that the author is paid properly? Not that I would buy physical books from Amazon anyway (expensive shipping and customs fees),

@forteller Det hadde definitivt vært noe, men slik som de fleste nettavisene opererer der ute så må de vel gjøre alt de kan for å holde deg værende på nettsida deres.

@b9AcE I had the pleasure of seeing Greta back during the first time Fosen-case protests back in February. I didn't know much about her before then, but what struck me the most was how grounded, humble, supportive, and yet steadfast she was. She was well aware that her presence would elevate the media attention but was incredibly good at redirecting the attention to the very cause of the protests. Makes me wish we had more public figures who are as devoted to defending human rights as her.

Leser at fosen-aktivistene blir straffet. Foreslår de tar saken om disse bøtene til høyesterett, for da trenger de ikke ta konsekvensene av noen dom uansett, om vi skal se på staten som forbilde.

@b9AcE For what whatever it's worth to you, I find your reporting incredibly valuable and impressively nuanced for an effort of trying to cover worldwide events. Your break is a deserved one.

A statement from the #Sámi House in #Oslo about the ongoing war in #Israel and #Palestine.

Sum-up:
The Sámi House laments the victims of atrocities from #Hamas and the State of Israel,
expresses sympathy with communities associated with Israel and Palestine,
condemns the #warcrimes and #ethniccleansing of #Gaza by the State of Israel,
and stands in #Indigenous solidarity with the Palestinian civilians who are now being driven from their land, denied their rights, and murdered.

@GregSadler Absolutely endeared by that cameo appearance of your beloved Sassy on the promo image

"Since both the benefits and the dangers inherent in listening are equally great for young people, I am of the opinion that listening ought to be a constant topic of discussion in one's own mind and with other people. This is especially so because it is noticeable that most people go about the matter in the wrong way: they practise speaking before they have got used to listening, and they think that speaking takes study and care, but benefit will accrue from even a careless approach to listening. It may be the case that in ball games learning to throw and learning to catch the ball are simultaneous, but in dealing with speech proper receptivity is prior to delivery, just as conception and pregnancy precede the birth of viable offspring."

-- "Essays", page 29

One reason why I will always enjoy reading ancient hellenistic philosophy is realizing how remarkably relevant their discussions on moral subjects still are today. Our technology may have evolved much further since their time, but our human nature most certainly has not.

Sápmi Pride 2023 (https://garmeres.com/sapmi-pride/program-for-sapmi-pride-2023/) was held this Friday-Sunday in Heahttá/Hetta (population ~500) in the Finland-held part of Sápmi.

Here are 4 of my favorite pictures. with 4 more in the next toot:

ELEKTRIFISERING AV #MELKØYA: Regjeringa Støre vil gjennomføre et naturraserende, kjempedyrt prosjekt som blir katastrofe for #samisk reindrift, skaper høye strømpriser, stopper anna kraftkrevende næring i nord, og fører til enda mer nedbygging av natur til kraftproduksjon.

Dette prosjektet kalles "grønt." Men blir det egentlig mindre utslipp av det? Naturvernforbundet vurderer klimaeffekten som liten.

@GregSadler Get well soon. Hoping for a swift recovery for you!
