Genuine question to publishers and book folk: how closely related is back matter to black ⚫️ or dark matter?

Indexes and references pull things together, right? Takes up a substantial amount of the book, inexplicably draws people toward it. Consumes authors who spend too long in it's presence...

The challenges of 'getting' children to eat veg are complex.

Analysis with @bogdanahuma.bsky.social unpicks the threads of resistance during an everyday family mealtime.

These dark November months are not kind to energy levels and mounting deadlines, but even the smallest gestures provide help. Clinging to words of encouragement from my academic heroes like a lifebuoy.

Tea and saffron buns and sci fi/fantasy also help, of course.

Thoroughly recommend, whether online or in person. Thanks to the organisers for making this such a welcoming and inclusive event 😊

Using sci-fi to help switch off after intense writing ✍️ 👩‍💻 days and Interstellar hit really hard. I swear I was only locked away for a few hours, but even the dog seems to have aged considerably.

And now decompressing after an excellent workshop (and a cheeky visit to Stockholm, of course). Love it that @profsalwiggins.bsky.social managed to sneak in! DP royalty! @alexahepburn.bsky.social

It was so great to see you both in Linköping 😁 thanks for inspiring our brilliant researchers 🤩🗯💭👩‍💻💪

Thanks for persisting with the research @yvonnetsecrepaldi.bsky.social and I recognise the long fermentation period. Some papers just need a bit more time to get themselves where they need to be.
Thinking that @bogdanahuma.bsky.social might also be interested in reading this too 💬🫷🧑

Calling #EMCA researchers interested in eating

I mean, those who research eating practices, not just those of us who eat.

If you conduct video-based, interactional analysis (think CA, DP, EMCA, linguistic anthropology) on eating in social interaction, then EatSiN might be for you. Contact me for more details!

Calling all @dote.bsky.social users...can anyone be of assistance?

(via John Heritage) For those of you who cannot attend this event, a livestream will begin May 18th at 2:15 Pacific on:
