Activities
Finding joy in simple, everyday activities is important to me from many different perspectives. It's better in terms of being in the world more ecologically. I don't need to fly to far-away destinations to feel that my life is meaningful and beautiful. Now I intentionally left my job in a Finnish university due to harassment, I have to use my savings. Leaving that workplace as an act of non-compliance with violence is a decision I will never regret but it has financial implications. I practise minimalism, and this is what allowed me to have some savings in the first place and also be more attentive to my local area. Living a joyful life is something I want to do every day rather than rely on occasions like holidays and events for meaning. I find joy in reading and writing, cooking and looking after my home, walking and having coffee with my partner, talking to my fellow humans about research and life in general. I believe that finding joy in everyday life and in simplicity is everyday activism.
