Summer reading: "How Science Got Women Wrong - and the new research that's rewriting the story" by Angela Saini. Highly recommended!

My potato patch

Last evening I attended the launch of a special issue of Samtiden—Norway's leading contemporary culture magazine. The issue was dedicated to animals, titled: "The animals are dying. We keep on as usual." There was a panel including several of the contributors: Two renowned biologists, the leader of WWF-Norway, the leader of Norway's largest animal rights organization, and a moral philosopher. The editor of the magazine—a self-described carnivore—was so moved by his work with the special issue, that at the end of the evening he declared he would no longer eat meat. The event also had catered delicious vegan food. I left happily with my vegan heart, my magazine and my stamps :-)

Yihaa! Some glimpses of sun ☀️ in rainy Norway 🇳🇴

A golden shower. No, I'm not talking about the Steele dossier—though I must admit these flowers have gotten a new life in my head after reading about the Golden Shower allegations. The Norwegian common name for this Laburnum plant—gullregn, is golden shower. They are highly poisonous, so Norwegians always warn children against playing with or picking these beautiful flowers.

Ready, set, go. Finally. Wonder Woman. Pre-premiere in Oslo #wonderwoman #galgadot #pattyjenkins #amazons #women #girls #runlikeagirl

Got the privilege to do the proof reading of the Norwegian edition of Rutger Bregman's Utopia for Realists. A must read #bookstagram #book #utopia #utopiaforrealists #rutgerbregman

The bay of Strømstad, Sweden I took a day-trip abroad to shop vegan food items, which are more plentiful and cheap in Sweden than Norway. And to do sightseeing with an American friend #strømstad #dayabroad #sweden #harrytur #veganshopping #vegan #vegansofig #sea #bay

My hometown. If you look 👀 carefully, in the far back, Oslo and Holmenkollen (ski jump) #hometown #field #norwegiansummer #green #nesodden
