Australian COVID-19 weekly stats update:

The risk estimate has been inching up again, current around 0.1% “Currently Infectious”, or 1-in-758.

That implies a 4% chance that someone is infectious in a group of 30.

#qualitative research thoughts.

The wording of themes can encode bias. For example, 'the demands of parenthood conflict with work' positions the conflict within an individual.

Why not, for example, 'workplaces are insufficiently adaptable for parents'?

My piece on the responses to the UK Covid-UK Inquiry report that try to airbrush the dead away.

Sincere thanks, @theobserveruk.bsky.social.

I will set my intention to mourn her in advance only exactly as much as she wants other people to, and not one drop more.

And I'll celebrate the life in this essay and every single day she gets to hold and smell her children.

Body gently curved around a tiny new human in her arms who is having a feed.

I am so, so tired. And I know you are, too.

Here's “Death blowing bubbles,” 18th century. The bubbles symbolize life's fragility. This plaster work appears on the ceiling of Holy Grave Chapel in Michaelsberg Abbey, Bamberg, Germany. After the monastery’s dissolution, it became a hospital.

So I used to be a museum curator, which I got into because I told a career advisor I wanted to dick around in old buildings all day and she said “museums” and that was that. But I’d started to get disenchanted and was looking to exit, and then Covid happened
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

In Tesco’s this afternoon: an elderly Polish man at the self-checkout, trying to buy a pint of milk and a white radish. There is no picture for the radish on the machine. The assistant doesn’t know what it is. She asks a colleague: “It’s a white radish.” There is no entry for it on the machine.
