I am not a desk jockey, am jargon-averse and have three modes of reasoning: scholarly / theoretical / pensive (thinker) + practical / (pro)active / energetic (doer) + tired / private (“off“).

Former member, for 10 to 20 years; I let go of my memberships some time after I moved to the UK

Doing fieldwork in Sweden. The year was 1989, I think. I lost that coffee thermos at the end of 2010.

Same day in Sweden, doing geological fieldwork.

One of my fieldwork areas in Spain (1980s)

Me emigrating to the US on 2 January 1994. Location: Schiphol.

Me emigrating to the US – with two cats – on 2 January 1994, my siblings and a bunch of my friends sending me off.

Me emigrating to Florida on 2 January 1994, when I was 33.

That’s the photo taken for my university ID in Florida in 1994. I was 33 then and having the time of my life.

Beach cleanup in Florida with the marine science department (1995)

I convened an AGU conference session in Boston in 1998 and met up with a friend after the conference. Before the conference, I stopped by at WHOI. I was based in Amsterdam then and had become self-employed.

MC Nieuws editorial team meeting at WUR in 2003 (me on the right)

This is me (on the left), at our annual Environmental Chemistry symposium shortly before I relocated to the UK.

Boat trip near Arnhem with Arcadis Elements team in 2003 or 2004 (me on the left, holding a glass of wine)

Me as a former homeless woman in Portsmouth, in early 2011, receiving the “Taking the Lead” course certificate from the mayor. My income had tanked and I lost my home during the course.

All over the world, people were losing their homes at the time because of the sub prime mortgage crisis in banking. I, however, became the target of, well, let’s call it extensive bullying of all kinds; the formal name is “sadistic stalking” including extensive hacking.

(I was also attacked in England once, earlier, within a bullying context.)

It didn’t stop after I lost my home, it got worse. I have no good idea of what drives English people to do such things to random strangers other than that it seems to have a lot to do with inequality and appearances (perceived – i.e. sometimes merely imagined – weaknesses).

This image exemplifies much of life in England, where I’ve been since the end of 2004. Bullying, hacking etc of random strangers is completely accepted, the law is often seen as something that only fools abide by, child sex abuse is quite common too and many people here consider cruelty cool, the government often setting the tone. Where does that come from? And is it really all as black and white as it seems? I want to know. I am exploring it in my next book.

Angelina Souren wants you to think about what a more inclusive, healthier world might look like.

She has a question for you. Is cruelty cool?
