We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. -- Ursula Le Guin

Acceptera, lämna eller förändra det ohållbara.

Jag reflekterar över varför jag gör det jag gör och hur jag vill nyttja min tid. Mitt skrivande är mitt kall, och tillsammans med mina modeller och visualiseringar är det så just jag kan bidra. Nu kan du som vill och har förmåga också backa det arbetet.

Constraining quadrupole deformations with relativistic effects
We investigate two general relativistic effects - namely, the Shirokov and Shapiro effects - within the framework of the Zipoy-Voorhees spacetime ($q$-metric), which generalizes the Schwarzschild solution by incorporating a quadrupole moment. By analyzing the geodesic deviation equations, we explore the oscillatory motion of test particles and demonstrate how the source's quadrupole parameter influences the Shirokov effect. Furthermore, we derive an expression for the Shapiro time delay in this…

33 pharmaceutical companies have told Ursula to change tack – or face exodus to US
#Trump, not UVD, that needs to change. Pharma can go fuck itself if it starts threatening Europe to drive Trump's daft demands.
#pharma and #ireland can't be proxy agents for Trump.
Pick a side.

"[…] Wanting a man got me into awful troubles more than once. But wanting to get married, never! No, no. None of that for me."
"Why not?" Tenar demanded.
Taken aback, Moss said simply, "Why, what man'd marry a witch?" And then, with a sidelong chewing motion of her jaw, like a sheep shifting its cud, “And what witch’d marry a man?"
They split rushes.
"What's wrong with men?" Tenar inquired cautiously.
As cautiously, lowering her voice, Moss replied, "I don't know, my dearie. I’ve thought on it. Often I’ve thought on it. The best I can say it is like this. A man’s in his skin, see, like a nut in its shell." She held up her long, bent, wet fingers as if holding a walnut. “It’s hard and strong, that shell, and it’s all full of him. Full of grand man-meat, man-self. And that’s all. That’s all there is. It’s all him and nothing else, inside."
Tenar pondered awhile and finally asked, "But if he's a wizard—"
"Then it's all his power, inside. His power’s himself, see. That’s how it is with him. And that’s all. When his power goes, he’s gone. Empty." She cracked the unseen walnut and tossed the shells away. “Nothing."
"And a woman, then?"
"Oh, well, dearie, a woman's a different thing entirely. Who knows where a woman begins and ends? Listen, mistress, I have roots, I have roots deeper than this island. Deeper than the sea, older than the raising of the lands. I go back into the dark." Moss’s eyes shone with a weird brightness in their red rims and her voice sang like an instrument. “I go back into the dark! Before the moon I was. No one knows, no one knows, no one can say what I am, what a woman is, a woman of power, a woman’s power, deeper than the roots of trees, deeper than the roots of islands, older than the Making, older than the moon. Who dares ask questions of the dark? Who’ll ask the dark its name?"
