And it is largely just tying up loose ends of work previously done / written / researched. It feels both like coming up for oxygen and diving under water for a brief glimpse of the past and potential futures.

Doing 'deep' work on maternity leave is a peculiar vision of a peculiar life. It takes so much organisation (childcare), carving out of moments, and battling with the foggy layers of sleep deprivation. Is this how working will be in the next phase? Who knows.

July 17–18, Paris.

Attempting to strip someone of citizenship is always a transparent and hopeless effort to avoid responsibility for the underlying problem you claim to object to. Their citizenship is *why* they can be held accountable for the actions you object to.

Streeting to next launch inquiry into “over-diagnosis” of left-handedness.

“Never used to be like this,” he insists.

It’s like they make (some?) postnatal wards deliberately shit and bleak but no one lets it slip til you're there. Glad you managed to make it home (from what I described as an airless prison) and congrats!

Last year, he and his family raised over £2700, which helped to pay for a complete overhaul of @amenduk.bsky.social website. Every card bought this year will fund ongoing maintenance and improvements to these vital resources for future adrenocortical cancer patients and their loved ones.

If anyone is looking for Christmas cards, my partner has made some based on his sister, Sally's, art designs to raise money for the Adrenal Cortical Cancer Support charity (@amenduk.bsky.social). All proceeds go to the charity.

New paper 🚨 “Vicarious denial: war crimes & online deliberation in Serbia” 🇷🇸 with @denisakost.bsky.social

We scrape 4 news sites + reader comments and blend text-as-data (keywords; neg. binomial/logistic; BERTopic/SBERT) with critical discourse analysis to track on-topic debate & denial.

For personal reasons (🐣), I’ve not been following recent Moldovan politics enough to comment more than yey PAS / Maia. But, I can comment just how much more coverage these elections and Moldova as a result are getting. Moldova’s visibility right now (and the reasons) is something worth observing.

Moldova has voted: PAS wins with 50.15%, beating the polls despite Russian interference.

The people chose a pro-EU, reform path. Meanwhile, the pro-Russian Patriotic Bloc (24%) calls for protests. PAS must now deliver reforms & lead Moldova toward EU accession.

#Moldova With 55 seats in Parliament, pro-EU party PAS secures absolute majority.

Patriotic Bloc leader Igor Dodon calls for a peaceful protest at 12.00 and alleges irregularities in the voting process. He has yet to recognize the results.

A cartoon of Putin and Trump walking down a red carpet, that turns into a huge bloodstain.

Blood red carpet. By Mykhailo Dunakovskiy.

The mental and admin load expected on new mothers (knee deep in stitches and waist high in sleep deprivation) is wild and the bureaucratic push back from the NHS is even more wild. Want your partner’s number on baby’s details? They’ll remove it. Want your partner to register at a GP? They can’t.

I am looking for a researcher (pre-doc) in my DFG-funded project "Violence Against Political Actors at the Grassroots Level" 👇

Today, I start a new chapter on parental leave and as an Associate Professor. Beyond grateful to everyone who helped me make both of these happen, professionally and personally, to those who supported, advised, wrote letters, reviewed manuscripts, cared, and let me rant.

Now on FirstView ft. @marniehowlett.bsky.social and @lkonken.bsky.social.

How can we as a profession address that our "homes" and "fields" are not distinct and separate, especially with the rise of virtual and digital research methods?

🔴 Russia conducted one of the most massive attacks on Ukraine to date tonight.

Preliminarily, Russian troops deployed:
- Between 560 and 700 drones.
- Over 15 Kh-101 cruise missiles.

The main targets of the assault were Lviv, Lutsk, and Chernivtsi.

Moldova Matters e acum și în română! NYT scrie că Moldova ar fi dispusă să primească „deportați” din țări terțe trimiși de SUA. De ce asta nu se va întâmpla (probabil)… și de ce chiar n-ar trebui. 👇
