This so resonates with me. I have my writing place and my writing tools - big screen too, and feet up on an old box. I’m reminded of Howard Becker’s example of someone who could only write on yellow ruled paper with a green pen.

On benefit cuts, Keir Starmer is “attempting to defend the indefensible”, writes @ruthpatrick0.bsky.social www.prospectmagazine...

Daniel Grossman - one of 36 signatories of an open letter pubilcly calling on the Board of Deputies to condemn Israel’s actions in Gaza - resigned from the Board “in protest of the leadership’s refusal to explicitly and publicly criticise the Israeli government’s ongoing genocidal assault on Gaza.”

I'm on the latest episode of @riskpodcast.bsky.social - out today: Episode 233: What Can Sociology Say about Right-Wing Extremism and the Mainstreaming of Racism and the Far-Right with Aaron Winter www.buzzsprout.com/1544431/epis...

An utter lack of moral leadership by the JLC, rejecting the mildest sanctions of a Kahanist government committing a genocide After an 11-week blockade of aid compounding months of mass displacement, starvation, bombardment of Palestinians, is there anything that would make the JLC criticise Israel?

What does #sociology have to say about #gender and #class in 2025? Is academic life any easier for working-class women than it was three decades ago? 📺 WATCH Bev Skeggs, @jolittler.bsky.social and @michaelacbenson.bsky.social in the first of our new Conversations series. buff.ly/x6b6rzi

If AI is so amazing, why can’t it refrain from correcting a correctly-spelt it’s to its and vice versa? Is it because the people who developed AI were the nerds who came top in programming but bottom in grammar?

The minimum cost of sending your child to secondary school is now £2,274. It has risen by 30% since 2022 outstripping inflation & placing more financial pressure on families, especially those living in #poverty. Important new research from @cpaguk.bsky.social buff.ly/354r8ze #schools #edusky

HIGH SPIRITS As it's Friday I thought I'd try to 'lift' some spirits with another version of this fun photo of dancer Andreya interacting with the elevator at Bow Church Docklands Light Railway station. #photography #london

“I’m struggling by making this choice. I’m sacrificing things that I could do if I just put my kids in day care.” – Olive, Canada @patriciahamilton.bsky.social & Charlotte Faircloth @tcru-ucl.bsky.social on how Black mothers invest in their children’s development. #OnlineFirst buff.ly/AptYdDY

How do women become relational managers in marriage? @Aliciamwalker1.bsky.social tells us about this silent labor of love this week @CCFamilies.bsky.social blog hosted by @TheSocietyPages.bsky.social Check it out: thesocietypages.org/ccf/

Didn't even clock that this had come out. A particular joy to get to write with Tracey Jensen @lancasteruni.bsky.social on the very hard work done by larger families living on a low-income. Hopefully timely in demonstrating the very hard work that getting by on not enough demands [tiny 🧵]

A 2-year lectureship for someone with qualitative methodological expertise and experience of studying of political and civil conflict. 👇

I’m talking about the value of qualitative secondary analysis at the Irish Sociological Association conference, UCC, in lovely Cork on Friday.

These brilliant people made podcasting fun (we were so nervous beforehand) for our #academicswives project

Interesting. I don’t think I’ve felt bored by analysis but maybe I should?

19 months into its genocidal assault on Gaza, Israel has approved a plan to seize the entire strip and occupy it indefinitely. The plan to destroy Palestinians as a national group once and for all is cataclysmic.

I’m enthusiastic about Ireland. I’m enthusiastic about sociology. I’m enthusiastic about qualitative secondary analysis. And I’ve been invited to take part in a panel discussion about QSA at the ISA conference in Cork. How lucky am I?

Na'amod spoke to @rachelshabi.bsky.social about the Board of Deputies suppressing dissent over Israel: "This is an organization that chooses the project of defending the Israeli right over the project of representing Jewish communities in Britain, where the two conflict.” tinyurl.com/36ur47fc

Do come. It’s going to be brilliant. Archives. Sociologists. Discussion. Inspiration.

Today I recorded an interview with the wonderful Prof Ann Oakley at her office at UCL. Definitely a career highlight sort of day. Watch this space for a publication of our conversation about the science of housework and beyond!

This is so lovely. I learn a language in online classes (yiddish but I could do others) and at the same time I’m supporting free English classes for migrants 🔁🧡

Sociology job

Yeah, just what I’d like to do.

Together with @ukjan.bsky.social Na'amod NW has been encouraging the University of Manchester to adopt better policies on antisemitism & student protest and to drop the IHRA definition. The University's response has been disappointing. Read our Press Release here: drive.google.com/file/d/1hdLc...
