Hell yeah! 💕💕💕

Man ir bijis gods ar Sandru Rīgu runāt par viņam uzlikto diagnozi,"ārstēšanu" un dzīvi pēc tam. Un tā nu ir sanācis,ka Medicīnas muzejā maijā vērsies vaļā izstāde NEPIESKAITĀMIE, kas, ja ne tieši runās par Rīgu,bet vēstīs par "nevēlamo" cilvēku apspiešanu un iznīcināšanu: www.mvm.lv/lv/programma...

Just wow. I simply lack any words to describe this video. Not only am I aghast and appalled, I am just disgusted about this mindlessness on the display here.

Šis ir tik ļoti svarīgi! Iepriekšējais mēģinājums (nu jau labi pasen) bija totāla izgāšanās, kas visu atbildību par reabilitāciju uzlika uz pašu cietušo pleciem.

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Hell yeah!

Oho! Super!

Latvija ir maza valsts grūtos laikos, un jā, protams, nav jālec uz ecēšām. Bet ir jāatceras tāds minimums kā: neizturies pret citas valsts (pie tam tuva sabiedrotā) suverenitātes apdraudējumu tā, kā tu negribētu, lai citi izturas, ja būtu apdraudēta Latvijas suverenitāte.

It's real. These three beautiful copies are going to travel to Vienna in early February. Defense in June. Still a few months to go. #academicsky

"We proclaim ourselves as indeed we are the defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to exist in the world, but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home." "Good Night, and Good Luck" (2025) is such a timely piece. www.imdb.com/title/tt1328...

"The probable illegality of Trump’s actions does not foreclose the possibility that his approach will improve life for Venezuelans. [..] Now that the United States has involved itself this way, its leaders are implicated in securing a stable postwar Venezuela" www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

SUBMITTED MY DISSERTATION. Now what?

Hermanis paziņo, ka LV sabiedrība esot bezcerīga. Nu, ja. Viņš ir ģēnijs. Vilnis. Karogs. Bet visi citi bezcerīgi.

Tikmēr latvieši nevar saprast, vai genocīds un kara noziegumi ir slikti vispār vai tikai tad, ja tie vērsti pret mums pašiem

Tas, cik maksā pētn. projekts vs par pasniegšanu, parāda ļoti skaidri - pasniegšana nav nekāda vērtība.

Izstādes tapšana. #MVM 💪🏽♥️

Interviewing foreigners living in Latvia. A few gems: "Latvians LOVE paper."(about bureaucracy, which heavily relies on physical paper sheets) "It's a culture of penalty." (so true) "Latvian society is like islands of warmth with a placid ocean in between." (also true)

Sveicam Upesleju! Latvijas paraugciems.

Scholars from Estonia, Czechia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine write nuanced, deeply argued pieces about the war. One of them about Westsplaing. An American scholar jumps in, distorts their views, and explains that their ideas are “American frameworks.” You can't make this stuff up.

November, are you ok?

This.

Amazing!

At least 10,000 people gathered in Riga tonight (with many more in Latvia and abroad) to protest the majority decision by Latvian politicians to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention (Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women). We are powerful! 🇱🇻 Photo: LSM.lv

N-tie iemesli, kāpēc vairs neeju un neiešu uz JRT.

After receiving a petition signed by more than 62,000 citizens President Edgars Rinkēvičs has exercised his constitutional right to return the law on Latvia’s withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention to the Parliament for reconsideration. Big protests in support of Convention planned on Nov 6.

The University of Vienna (where I’m doing my PhD) keeps teaching coloniality not through theory but practice.After pulling rooms for Anti-Colonial Week on global legacies and Palestine,its pattern of silencing Palestine discourse has become its own lesson in colonial power. linktr.ee/anticolonial...

Sometimes it is not only about values, but also about optics. In Latvia we discuss local political gambles behind yesterday's vote for the country to leave the Istanbul Convention, from the outside, it is clear - Latvia follows Hungary, Slovakia and other countries that head East.

The way a skilled language editor works shows one thing: AI still doesn’t come close. (I might be a little bit in love with my Eng editor 😍)

Izcils (un nebūt ne retais) piemērs,kad vara pār citiem cilvēkiem un viņu dzīvēm ir populistisku,maigi sakot, dumju un,iespējams,ne pārāk labu cilvēku rokās. Spilgts piemērs arī politikas lielajai nozīmei uz cilvēka veselību & to,kad & kā cilvēki savas dzīves laikā nomirst. satori.lv/article/saei...

I can’t express how much it means to read my thesis advisor’s T.T. comments: “I enjoyed it!”[she's German, not American :D] along with genuinely helpful feedback to make my work even better. It’s pure honey to my ears and an absolute high! I’m genuinely in love with my work right now. Damn, girl!

Mazā, ideālā Latvija atrodama Ogrē un JRT jeb "parādi man, kas ir tavi draugi...." (Būtu tai JRT vismaz bijis kas interesants. Labi, ka nav).
