@ErikBernskiold Sant. Tack. Det har dock varit bokat sedan februari så man kan ju tycka att jag borde tänkt tanken lite tidigare…

@wilg This! So many of our tech words are just English variants and we may as well just make the whole switch sooner rather than later :)

@bettina_dk This is truly the best course of action. I do try and make my slides have as few words as possible, for exactly this reason. I tend to give similar talks in both languages and it saves a lot of time.
Speaking at a corporate conference next week and suddenly I’m unsure if it’s supposed to be in Swedish or English(!). There are so few days left I feel embarassed to ask. Going to read back on e-mails to try and deduce it that way… 😅
Thanks everyone for your concern, advice and jests :) The answer is Swedish.
So here is why I get confused: on Wednesday I’m giving a talk in English for a UK audience. Next week a talk in Swedish for a Swedish archival interest group (on metadata). The week after that a talk in English for a Swedish company who have invited international clients…
That constant feeling of 'am I spending my time well?'.
You're okay. Just find time to stare into space once in a while, be bored and go for outings if you can. Then check your bearings. You'll find your way back to your path. Worry less. Be kinder to yourself.

While one may worry about everyday life keeping people from seeing the democratic collapse, I worry about the democratic collapse keeping people from seeing the climate collapse. I imagine it's similar behavioral mechanisms...

The chronology of this cartoon by @mackaycartoons gone viral is fascinating. Let's just say it didn't start with all those waves.

H&M Germany fined €35.2 million (U.S. $41.3 million) for violations of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for the excessive monitoring of several hundred employees' private lives by one of the clothing retailer’s German subsidiaries.

Sometimes I find myself sitting in front of the calculator on my computer, wondering what it was I wanted to figure out…
Takes me a second to remember that I was too quick using my shortcuts in Apples’s Spotlight. I had typed “cal” and really wanted to open the calendar.

@jbuller That was my thinking at first but it seemed such a long-winded way to reach our goal when we could just choose to go straight for the inclusion.
Seeing as competition also creates those cheap, poor-quality, exploitative products.
Haven’t finished this thought of course 😅
What if it’s not competition, but rather cooperation and inclusion, that creates better products? 😮
I’m rather proud of this profile of me if I may be so bold. Malin who interviewed me managed to capture who I want to live up to being. I know I’ll fail often, but I also know how to recognise the right path.
The title is “The man who could listen to people.” 😊
The interview with me (in Swedish) can be found in this PDF, starting on page 44 of the magazine (which happens to be ‘page 23' of the PDF).

1/ When you call to book a table at a restaurant, do you ask about accessibility considerations: e.g. wheelchair access, menus in braille or even mindful music volume? Chances are that if you are not yourself affected by these issues, you do not.
2/ If you don’t, this leaves it up to those who have these needs to fight their own battles in making restaurants do better. These are the same people who already experience obstacles being hit twice by also having to fight to be seen and heard and provided space.
3/ Also, if enough people visit restaurants that do not make any accessibility accommodations, those restaurants will feel supported by a considerable clientele and be de-incentivised to include more people in their efforts to provide a welcoming experience.
4/ By simply asking the question “What accessibility accommodations have you made?” you…
* create awareness
* bring the topic top of mind
* show that accessibility matters not just to those directly affected
* unburden people who are coping with these obstacles daily
5/ Already today many of us acknowledge that we do not use words that demean, degrade and insult others. Not because the words hurt us, because they hurt someone else. Questioning how inclusive the spaces I visit are is the next step in proactively mitigating how others are hurt.
6/ I wrote about this last year in the context of Helping events become more inclusive, but it’s important to remember that the same frame of mind applies to all aspects of life: Asking the important questions and letting the responses guide my actions. axbom.blog/events-inclusi…
