So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

In Austria, working from home is not necessarily a tool for work-family balance. Its increase was greatest among childless women, which can largely be attributed to their characteristics: they more likely hold higher-status positions, have higher education, work full-time and live in urban areas.

Who works from home now compared with before the pandemic? The study shows that working from home increased more among women than men. A key factor was the particularly strong rise among female clerical support workers.

Muss hier Mal mit dieser tollen Herbsternte angeben. Die Kürbispflanzen sind ungeplant aus der Düngung mit eigenem Wurmkompost gekeimt und machen mir eine riesen Freude.

Finally a slide about the measurements in different types of public transit. I am not surprised nowadays anymore as I've seen the data for a long time, but I initially expected it all to be higher. That trains - which open doors less often than city busses or trams - have higher values makes sense.

I've seen similar patterns as the measurement to the right (maybe not as extreme) in my measurements when taking the sensor from a well-ventilated area in a cafe or shop to the toilets, which often have shockingly bad ventilation.

a reminder for those who want to participate in our community measurement day tomorrow ;). As usual I am bad with deadlines in this side project so the new website and the report aren't ready yet in the quality I want. - but I'll put a few previews in the thread.

One of several events from last year I had forgotten about but seen today in the World Press Photo exhibition: Government brutality in Favelas in Rio de Janeiro in October 2025. Fotos: Eduardo Anizelli

Sontag writes: "Let the atrocious images haunt us. Even if they are only tokens, and cannot possibly encompass most of the reality to which they refer, they still perform a vital function. The images say: This is what human beings are capable of doing (...). Don't forget."

Accidentally finished the perfect book right before visiting this year's World Press Photo Exhibition: Susan Sontag's "Regarding the Pain of Others". An essay on pictures of war and suffering and us looking at them.

Administrative data collected on households, marriages and registered partnerships, income taxes and births for Austria were the basis for my recent Working Paper: "Demographic and socio-economic profile of same-sex families in Austria"

Just tried it as well and it seems like every single person they name in comparisons is a man? I'm not a political scientist but to me it seems to miss feminist positions as outcomes.

In "Das Wesen des Lebens" (engl. Beasts of the Sea) wird die Geschichte eines der wenigen verbliebenen Gerippe einer Stellerschen Seekuh in Helsinki beschrieben. Auch das NhM Wien hat eines der Gerippe dieser größten Seekuh.

Andere Leute haben ein schnittiges Auto, ich habe die maximale Anzahl an Punkten im ÖBB Vorteils Programm erreicht :D

I know I'm not the only late diagnosed person with ADHD suddenly recognizing ADHD traits in other people. My newest find: Ariadne Oliver in Agatha Christie crime novels. I've always liked her 'quirky' character and now I see why.

Brought some very fitting reading material with me to London: Dan Hicks' book The Brutish Museum on the looting of the Benin Bronzes, the minimizing of their brutal theft by british colonial officers and the continuing colonial structures keeping these sacred artworks in European museums.
