Train energy as I cut my way thru England is decidedly low-key, which suits me fine. I'm an immigrant Dutch supporter wending my way to Wales, orange shirt safely hid. (Beneath a green shirt with bicycle print, so I may be tipping my hand anyway...) Hup Holland Hup!

No thank you. One of the massive benefits of voting out jerks like Rees-Mogg is that there is no longer any reason to hear from them or give them privileged space on the airwaves.

Trust Abby Day to put the tools of the sociology of religion to beauty therapists, hairdressers, personal trainers &c. as religious-adjacent professionals in a spiritual practice. Great project! #SocRel24

Thanks for this, Emily. Are your Bluesky posts publicly open? I'm asking, as I'd like to post this on Twitter where some of the PGR/ECR members of SocRel are present. It may at the least prompt conversation, but it might also be a bit of an introduction to this platform. Let me know if that's okay!

As #SocRel24 convenes and the PGRs/ECRs meet for breakfast in a couple of hours, a thread to think about. (Not that many SocRel types are on this platform; trying to reverse that...)

17 out of 24 targeted for compulsory redundancies. It sucks for the staff who may be forced to leave, and it sucks for the staff who would be left to carry the teaching (and admin and research) on their own and somehow keep the department viable. It's awful.

I'm seeing mutuals I respect greatly lamenting that Branding Online has denied them personhood, too. Like, they can't be silly and informative both on their feeds because one will detract from the other. People won't like them if they contain multitudes. And that's . . . really sad.

The talk is centred on activity from the Centre for Media Monitoring, but it includes passing reference to my paper on style guides brill.com/view/journal...
and my chapter on Islamic State naming in the UK media link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

I don't think any #SocRel24 types are on here, but all the same, I'll be speaking after lunch about Muslim interventions from civil society into journalism practice in the UK. Shaping the whole thing around "Muslim self-fashioning", a term I first encountered through Peter Morey and Amina Yaqin.

Pray for me. I'm a Dutch supporter by descent and currently living in Wales but at a conference in Engerland, taking the train back Wednesday evening right through the bloody beating heart of it. (Brought my orange shirt but unsure if I am brave enough to wear it on the journey.)

Anyway, if you're just checking me out now, I do indiefolk and I think the songs I write are pretty good. Michaelmunnik.ca is a good way to check 'em out.
And I've been blogging stories behind 'em every 2 weeks. Here's the latest. anearthwithoutgrammar.wordpress.com/2024/07/05/s...

And this is why we don't just rely on the rentals over on the streaming market. A well-curated list of obscure mp3s is a not-terrible substitute for mix tapes.

Hey friends, this cuddly metalhead @florgoth.bsky.social has curated a few bsky starter packs for indie musicians. I'm included in number 5, and all are worth a meander to find new music. Many of these artists will have bandcamp pages, too, so don't forget to support them (us). #NewMusic

Yep. “Sometimes I wonder if all this coverage is because the media know how to cover a normal problem like a sub-par candidate; they don’t know how to cover something as abnormal and unprecedented as the end of the Republic. So for the most part they don’t.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Well, that would have been a poor title choice (and reflects poorly on the tastes of US listeners), but his instincts were good, here.
