Another piece I was lucky to work on with @scepa-economics.bsky.social on the experience of older care givers in the US. From the awesome research of @jessforden.bsky.social and Siavash Radpour!
Excited to have this out! @karthikmanickam.bsky.social’s important work looking at the #StudentDebt burden on older Americans.
Secretary of Interior is in Santa Fe NM today. Hundreds out to send him a message. #ProtectPublicLands #NotForSale

Read this thread, felt like getting a warm hug
Finally reading DWP Pathways to Work report and am beyond frustrated to see the claim to "ensure their [disabled peoples'] voices shape our proposals" alongside an inability to think beyond "economic inactivity" and see welfare and services as support for actual human beings.

Alright @emilyrbowe.bsky.social! Excited to watch.
Picture of Curae prize anthology 2023 published by Renard Press in aid of carers’ charities
On the 1st of January, the #Curae prize for writer-carers opens for a second time. The demise of twitter is making it harder to get the word out, so do share! thecuraeprize.uk There are around 7 million unpaid carers in the UK alone & Curae shines a light on the role & much more. #carers #writing
A multi-colored sunset with the sun so bright it creates a slanting light across the whole picture. The sun sets over an empty expanse of sand with the sea far in the distance.

Very excited to hear the many contributions to this symposium on future lives and austerity! Communities of practice across activism, arts, academics... #AALCSymposium
Finally trying BSky for real, hoping for some #AnthroTwitter pre-X vibes. If you're anthro of #activism, economy, austerity, world-building, #data (and data's refusal), let's connect! #Anthropology #EconAnthro
