The walk to my butcher’s is steep but very scenic!
Nearly there....

Important thread re. generation and the pandemic, and again something we’re exploring in our fieldwork. #Covid had profound impacts across generation and this is reflected in moments of intergenerational understanding/solidarity existing alongside discourses of division/tension.

Yet more evidence from ONS of the profound generational imbalance of the economic effects of the pandemic. Of the Feb 2020-Feb 2021 annual decrease in employee jobs (down 693,000 overall) 63.1% (437k) were under 25 25.2% (174k) were 25-34 50-64s? Net increase of 32,000 jobs.

@anthro_grit @NCLSociology @FRIEDinburgh @ImogenBevan Ohhhh exciting! Congrats! Would love to read, and see if I can also bring into #soc1027 teaching - I think our students would love this.

Look what just arrived! I can't recommend co-editing a book during a pandemic, but glad that what started in 2018 will be finally out next week! @NCLSociology @FRIEDinburgh @ImogenBevan

@StephMulrine sincere condolences Steph - thinking of you and your family; so very, very sorry to hear this.

@alisonstenning This would be incredible to see. Do you know the outdoor seawater pool in Stonehaven, near Aberdeen ? It is staggeringly warm and utterly delightful - would be amazing to have our own right here in the northeast... stonehavenopenairpool.co.uk

Hey here's an extract from my brother's book about birdsong during the pandemic. The book's out on Thursday and I can tell you it's very good.

Lawyers in meetings
Who look just like kittens
Folks in pyjamas
And sweatshirts and mittens
Silvery backdrops
And fake booklined rooms
These are a few
Of my favourite Zooms.

Is 'everything's arse-shaped a saying'? Because right now, everything is.

Last week, my university advertised a "pandemic productivity" seminar. Today, I got the "due to unforeseen circumstances" cancellation message.
Unforeseen? Really? This little example shows why we need to change the narrative about productivity amid crisis. 🙏🏽 /Thread

@vailini1 Mmmm - occurs locally but has national attention, and everyone rolls their eyes at the outcome anyway. Agree with you how interesting Halloween is and about its trans Atlantic leap in the past 10 years. But note too how this is a *return* to Europe, from whence it came 🎃 👻

@_catdeg What curious though is how localised it is. There aren’t many other towns that share the ritual although virtually every NE town has groundhogs. In contrast take Halloween which is universal in the US and becoming so in the U.K. at expense of older one (Penny for the Guy).

#soc1027 students, I have one word for you: #ritual
Such a shame our virtual exchange with @IUPUI anthropology students is over - this national tradition would be a belter to discuss!

Groundhog Day 2018 in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Maybe the weirdest (but most fun?) assignment I’ve ever had.

A devastating yet beautiful tribute to so many lives lost.

Our balcony. I long for the day when I don’t have to climb out there to add another ribbon.
