So a proper senior moment… the germolene was on the side of the sink in a tube that looked very like the toothpaste. Trust me readers, you don’t want to.

Something that has got notably worse during my adult lifetime: proofing journal articles. A combination of outsourcing, automation, and digitisation have created scope for catastrophic errors and faff.
REALLY looking forward to this. Just booked my train down.
So people. I have a day booked off for my birthday. I’ll be in London. It’s ages away so I could book anything that needs booking. I’m out of touch about what’s hot and good. Recommendations welcomed. If food, Must be veggie friendly.
OOOF - a brief visit to North Wales last week yields a note from the polis about the 20 mph limit. Be careful as there aren't many reminder notices. I entirely forgot. (And FWIW and for the record have no objection to a 20 limit so don't fight me on that. I really am too tired).
Looking forward to this inaugural ILO/ Ilera research webinar. 👇🏽🚨🛎️
Why, oh why, oh why, oh why did I open twitter? It’s not even twitter’s fault this time. I wont share my swears. But if any academic women - or anyone frankly - want to scream into the void with me, you’ll find me in the corner.

Important news in industrial relations law.
Truly awful jobs data today. Employment, economic inactivity as bad as depths of pandemic. The data is VERY volatile so don't read too much into short-term changes, but trend is clearly poor. And I think it shows it's the labour market holding back growth - not other way round...

@SimmsMelanie Two problems - structures of academia are reducing our ability to do science in radical ways, so 'normal' is the order of the day. And SS has lost what makes it distinctive by chasing hard science, as such, a reconsideration of SS is needed to make it lead instead of follow 🍄
If you think social science is broken in important ways, it's incumbent on you to try and fix it (if you dont think it is broken, you aren't looking hard enough). I'm 45 next year, and the way I see it, I have a decade to make clear strides in this direction.

I used to want to be liked by everyone. I've realised in recent years to really stand for something, you'll always have people that dislike you, don't get your viewpoint, and/or intentionally misrepresent what you do as they haven't got your life experience. Let them.
