@sidthefarmcat @DrAllyLouks @thelostboyslave This comment indicates you don’t know how funding works

@DrAllyLouks @thelostboyslave Your research already indicates the kind of background you come from since you obviously have the luxury of getting a worthless PhD

It sure has been fun to become a scapegoat for the far right’s qualms with academia for a couple of days.

@SkylarkHolly *Dr Holly!

Hello I’m Holly. I have a PhD & spend my days teaching students about animal science. Today I had to be told by someone how to get a ticket from a car park machine & then didn’t realise you had to pay before leaving so had to reverse out of the exit lane & make everyone mad

Join our working group this Thursday, when Emy Lindberg will be presenting a chapter from her thesis, Dream Machine: an Ethnography of Football Migration between Ghana and Sweden. Emy is turning the chapter ‘The Football dads and Other Parental Figures’ into a journal article.

@OneTooves You've never been more 'Australian'

Bloke behind me in the queue at Aldi sank two G&T tins whilst he waited and had them scan the empty cans. Finished off with a loud belch. I, for one, welcome our new Prime Minister.

just learned about recency bias and its my favorite thing ever

@OneTooves @127J_H I was kinda assuming that they now stand a few yards in from the rope to give them space to complete the relay catch, which is entirely pointless when it's often easier to come in and take the catch normally

@BHildred @127J_H Trying to work out what the percentages of runs cut off to caught mishits are in comparison to having to make a song and dance over one of these catches is. Yer Bigger Bats do mean mishits land about 10m in front of where he is. But if you'd told me he'd drifted, I'd believe it

Just catch it properly and this wouldn’t happen.

@sudhir131gmail1 Hi! Please follow the link in the post above, which will take you the online system.

@BHildred Hello Dr Hildred. Thanks for proposing this interesting panel. I would like to submit a proposal for this panel. Should I email it to you or submit directly?

Going to ASA next year? Consider proposing a paper to our panel – 'Moving on: changing political consciousness in South Asia' #ASA2025 #LKA #SouthAsia ASA2025: Critical Junctions: Anthropology on the Move nomadit.co.uk/conference/asa…

@127J_H Yeah, has to be said if he was on the rope, no need to jump backwards to take it, simple step forward and take

I’m not saying it’s deliberate showboating, but they all practice this should-be-rarely-needed skill so hard and regularly, it’s become the go to way to catch when you’re anywhere near the rope, rather than controlling their momentum/bracing.

One punctuation to rule them all

@daisycutterzine Yes, legally it rests simply on the consent part. You can't collect data legally without it, and if teams have collected it, they cannot provide that data to anyone else without individual consent either. I don't think we even need to construct any argument re: discrimination

@BHildred plus holding that kind of data on individuals without their consent is not legal. they would probably claim they are not storing that data but then they'd have to prove the permanent destruction of it if people email them names, which, lol

this is grotesque and invasive behaviour, loathe to share too much direct transphobia onto the tl but think it's really important that people push back on stuff like this as much as possible, protect your teammates, don't let organisations like this push trans women out

@daisycutterzine Sex/gender reassignment are both protected so should be illegal either way on individuals. Naming teams also not OK as then individuals could be identified. Any kind of 'mapping' like this requires informed consent to any persons mapped, which they're defs not giving.

@BHildred i *think* yes if individuals who have a grc, possibly not if not, naming teams I don't think so? not 100% sure

Because he pays his subs and is always at training

Our momentum continues, with this week's working group session featuring @DarioNardini. To find out more, visit sportanthro.org/join

Very well deserved, one of our best players coming through

Reminder of our special seminar session Tomorrow, 26th September. More info available here: mailchi.mp/3293681d6fe8/s…

Last few tickets available apparently! For anyone around Durham tomorrow...

@EveHayes123 Please do name the conference!

I’m at a conference today. The organisers just told me that I can’t bring my daughter to the networking session or the dinner tonight. I couldn’t get a babysitter. This is one of those times, as a single parent, that you really miss out. It felt like a gut punch.

Please join us for a special seminar session this coming Thursday, where Dr Sertaç Sehlikoglu @sertacsehlikogl will be telling us about her new work! More details can be found at sportanthro.org/schedule
