I bought this book solely because it was by Julia Cameron.
I haven’t read it yet but I feel extremely viscerally against any book that includes the word “Diet”.
Yes, this hatred for the word includes Helen Sword’s book “The Writer’s Diet”.

Teaching a short course on Advanced Ethnography and as always, I am using some of the excellent work of @jessicacalarco.com This article helps me teach educational ethnography, but also longitudinal ethnography and comparative ethnography. Three variations of ethnography in one article. Thanks Jess!

Thanks to @aducey.bsky.social Amie Kiddle, Laura Montes de Oca, the Sociology Department of @ucalgary.bsky.social and the LACS Group for hosting me today! Two talks (governance of homelessness and ethnography of climate migration) and I’m completely wiped. But grateful for feedback and questions!

Celebrating my birthday with my Mom. I am alive because she survived a high risk pregnancy of a breech baby with the umbilical cord around his neck.
And yet here I am. My Mom’s bravery, strength and resilience (and a fantastic team of doctors!)
