"...for Black Americans, none of it felt extraordinary. It felt remembered. Generational experience has taught us what happens when the state builds a weapon for someone else: Sooner or later, it finds a way back to us."

Global Sumud Flotilla is live as Israel threatens to stop them from breaking the starvation siege of Gaza. A reminder that they are not entering Israeli waters, but Palestinian waters. Israel intends to violate international law once again. www.youtube.com/live/uEN2bWF...

Statues of 70 “commoners” from Norway, Sápmi & the Faroes were placed in Fredensborg Palace gardens in the 18th century. What do they say about absolute monarchy, empire, and the rise of science? And how have they been reinterpreted over time? New podcast episode with Professor Mathias Danbolt:

“The spirit of ‘white people food’ is that it’s supposed to be NOT enjoyable,” I can relate so much having lived a good share of my life in the epicentre of white people food (aka the North Sea Region).

I still can't get my Op-ed published in Korean English language newspapers, but now the Korean translation made it to the frontpage of Pressian. I will link to the original English version in the comments. Adoptee voices should not be ignored! m.pressian.com/m/pages/arti...

Pride march in Stavanger.

Three empires (USA, Russia and China) are paving the road to planetary destruction. Anti-imperial and peace movements are as important now as during the so-called cold war (which was very hot in many places - just like today).

We still have a few spots available so submit your abstract by Sepember 15.

I first got an op-ed accepted, and then suddenly rejected by a Korean newspaper because the editorial team felt it could be uncomfortable for their Korean readers. Well guess what. Shipping almost 200.000 children overseas to make money is an uncomfortable story. I will not stop spreading discomfort

Check out this guest lecture at U. of Stavanger this Friday with Professor Mathias Danbolt from Copenhagen U. "Monumental Expectations: Notes on Queer, Feminist, and Antiracist Public Memoralization in Norway." @sebmergence.bsky.social and I will have a podcast interview with him soon as well.

Honoured to be invited to speak at the local Stand Up For Climate and Nature demonstration today in Stavanger in anticipation of the upcoming national elections in Norway. Thanks to the organizers and participants.

Dozens of Palestinians rallied in Gaza City on Thursday, waving flags and holding signs denouncing the war. Men, women, and children chanted above the ruins and tents, demanding an end to the war and rejecting the forced displacement of Gaza’s residents. By Ahmed Ahmed

The far right "Progress Party" is now the biggest party in the south-western region of Norway. This is also by far the richest region in Norway challenging the story that far right radicalisation is linked to economic hardships. Radicalization is more likely linked to "fight to keep our privileges".

This article on South Korea's export-oriented and fossil fuel dependent heavy industrial sectors resonates well with my ongoing research on exiting the petroleumscape in Norway and South Korea. Can South-East Korea and South-West Norway transform their industries to a post-petroleum future?

80 years since the Korean peninsula was liberated from the Japanese empire. In the south liberation what followed was 80 years as a vassal state to US empire, more than 40 years of authoritarian rule, and almost 40 years of struggling with democracy. 1/2

"... a cache of leaked Microsoft documents and interviews with 11 sources from the company and Israeli military intelligence reveals how Azure has been used by Unit 8200 to store this expansive archive of everyday Palestinian communications."

The Norwegian sovereign wealth fund that reinvests profits from Norwegian fossil fuel extraction is reinvested in Israeli genocide. Nordic Innocence anyone? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trying to get ready for another semester where core tasks and responsibilities (Research and teaching) probably will drown in a neverending deluge of superfluous e-mails and administrative meetings.

Advanced peoples have attempted to bring civilization to Europe. The Persians, the Carthaginians, the Huns, the Umuyyads, the Mongols, the Ottomans. They all failed and the European hordes unleashed their barbarism on the entire world in the ensuing centuries.

I was asked to write a review of the book "Decolonial Sweden". Would love to know if anyone here read it and what they think? www.routledge.com/Decolonial-S...

Most of our Norwegian students study for a life with two cars, a house, and a cabin in the mountains. These students study to make the world better. Thank you.

30 years ago, over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were murdered in the Srebrenica genocide. Today, politicians will say "never again". But they are letting it happen, again, in Gaza. We remember all victims of genocide, and vow to build a world that respects the humanity of all.
