Jonas Hassan Khemiri och om gatukonst
Jag satt just och tittade på Babel i SVT och serien Khemiri på prao. Denna gång skulle Jonas Hassen Khemiri skriva encyklopediska – en text för Nationalencyklopedin. Uppdraget var att skriva en objektiv definition av begreppet “gatukonst”. Jag funderade på det han skrev “det jag tog bort (som var jag)”. Han sade själv i inslaget att när han ska […]
They (or we all) have been Trumped no. 2
Isn’t it funny that Scrooge McDuck the cartoon character created in 1947 by Carl Barks and licensed by The Walt Disney Company somehow resembles Donald Trump! A coincidence? It probably is his favorite character (and role model) of the ones Carl Barks drew. Maybe Trump has not understood Bark’s sarcasm but took the cartoons as instruction books. Scrooge McDuck is: an elderly Scottish anthropomorphic white duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, […]
They have been Trumped!

He typically wears a red or blue frock coat, top hat, pince-nezglasses, and spats and is portrayed […]

Den finländska skolan och risken att snubbla på sin egen sjävbelåtenheten
Om ”i en internationell jämförelse” inte förekommer är nyhetsrapporteringen om den finländska skolan sällan positiv skriver Torbjörn Kevin i en insiktsfull ledare i Åbo underrättelser. Mycket bra inlägg i debatten om den finländska skolan, auktoritet och moralen: Argumentationen har sin upprinnelse i en karikatyr av skolan. Enligt den är skolan en plats där lärarkåren förser elever med […]
The space where we live, work, study and spend our freetime affect our lives…
…it really does. To me this issue is very important to discuss. What can we do to affect the way homes; places where we work, study and play are planned and built? Why do we have so little influence when it comes to the planning of our everyday spaces? Why have we given the planning […]
Compassion knitted into blankets
This picture is amazing not only because of all the work that is put into the making of the blankets (I also crochet and knit so I know) but the vast contrast between all the love and thoughts put into the wool squares, between the softness and colors of the yarn compared to the hard, […]
