It was a joke. It was not a joke.

Having just received an excellent proposal, I am reminded that I should do more to advertise the Bloomsbury book series I co-edit: Geopolitical Worlds, Material Bodies www.bloomsbury.com/ca/series/ge... We would value some more excellent proposals to go with the one I just got! #AcademicSky

In what could plausibly represent a Christmas miracle* SFU Geography has two (2) new tenure track hires. One is urban/climate, which I will repost below. The other is a Landscape Ecologist. Please share ... #academicsky *actually just the good decisions of our new Dean www.sfu.ca/geography/ab...

It is cold and dark outside, and everything has gone out of me except misery.

A movie that takes place where you're from.

This was published in the Irish Times a week ago but re-sharing because it might be a while before there is another article supporting neutrality in the broadsheets.

The demand for geography and GIS skills has never been greater, and the intellectual approaches and conceptual tools of the discipline are more relevant than ever. Now, community college #geography programs are growing fast and changing the landscape of geography #education: buff.ly/GLo0tWP #GeoWeek

Love finding out what people with Geography degrees do next. Like Liam Scales, now a professional footballer (with Ireland and Celtic)

Solidarity with all colleagues under threat in Dundee.

Irish house, winter edition

Amazing how different Sean Bean looks in real life to the movies (A joke that I accept will baffle many)

Shocking how academic staff in Leicester are being scapegoated for management failures. Human Geography at Leicester has always been an exceptional department. Any decent university management would be fighting to keep them.

Solidarity with the brilliant geographers and all other staff at risk in Leicester and elsewhere. The willful destruction of livelihoods and cultures of knowledge is shameful.

Big shout out to the 100+ British Library members out on the picket line today, on strike over pay. Thanks to @rmtunion.bsky.social general secretary Eddie Dempsey who came along to speak to the strikers in #solidarity. #BritishLibraryOnStrike #PCSonStrike

Look to the many faith-based groups to boost integration in inner-city, a new report advises council. Almost 50 faith-based groups play a big role in helping people navigate civic life in the north inner-city, it says – and the council should tap into them, it says.

Can anyone make Alan's dream come true?

At some point in your thirties you’ll lose the ability to sleep past daybreak, so sleep in every chance you get.

I spoke to Dublin Inquirer about this issue, which seems to have been going on since May.

He might be right. On the other hand, he might just possibly be wrong. But it didn't really matter much.

A thoughtful and considered article; worth a read.

Still recruiting! Born in Ireland? Parents who migrated here? Grew up in Limerick or the Mid-West? I'm doing a research project on second-generation identity and would love to chat with you. Please share with anyone who might be interested - it would mean a lot 🙏

"When the first of August came round, the Professor realized he had pleasantly trifled away nearly two months at a task which should have taken little more than a week." --Willa Cather, 1925 and timeless

The Trump administration’s deportation machine has made women invisible targets. If you’ve ever wondered, like me, what happens to all the women ICE detains:

The #famine in #Gaza is entirely man-made. Responding with air drops is both unnecessary and dangerous. The UN, including UNRWA, must be allowed to do its work so that aid can safely reach those who need it the most, including 1 million hungry children. Let our 6,000 trucks into Gaza.

'Feminist City' by Leslie Kern is a great read: accessible, political, provocative. Ideal for showing why geography matters and, if you're in Ireland, available in public libraries around the country.

The hallmark of Irish summer is walking through a cloud of the unmistakable lingering odor of someone's GAA jersey in 28°C heat

The Govt is trying to quietly destroy Irish neutrality. They know a large majority support neutrality, which is why they are sowing doubt and distraction. Join the Roadshow to learn more about Irish neutrality and to push back against the tide of militarism and war.
