Sociologist/resident nerd. Currently a social researcher specialising in education/employment. Probably posting about birds. Views my own, etc.
In a bit of a bind, I have started playing (too much!) Balatro and can only think of possible hands to play whenever I see any form of playing card

The critical thinking skills are whirring away in the background but the application is incorrect. Try harder.

As the year draws to a close (and I finally have a hearing aid referral!) I’ve been reflecting on my longer-term recovery from my TBI. Things are good, better even! But even in March I was beginning to see through the fog of it all.

Bit of downtime back in Bournemouth and I’ve been thinking about how technology has really facilitated access to nature for us recently. The Merlin bird app has really made me actually go on river walks to “collect” new bird sounds, to put faces to sounds, to look around that much more

Reading about cultural capital, some Marxism etc. and I have no idea why we don’t look at cultural hegemony much anymore! That was my jam back in the day so it’s good to see my love of Gramsci hasn’t gone anywhere over the years

Really keen to make this more oriented towards my ‘likes and interests’ rather than the scattergun approach I went with on the other site to get followers lol. Idk where to start though, can almost see where the Reddit/Twitter lines converge but idk how to engage as much

Just keep thinking about the FalseKnees comics and how brilliant they are. Not seen another artist able to humanise birds in such a unique way, I can almost *hear* their personalities coming through the pictures 🥺

Seems like the big boys are moving away from X now, at least in the UK! So, I’ll be trying to build up my following on here again, with a bit more of a catered approach…

The sky is blue and I’m on Bluesky, let’s see if this one is filled with awful, awful things or not
