I for one have been living a bit too deliciously recently and must return to my book next week. This chart based on motifs from the 2015 film The Witch is by thewitchystitcher on Etsy 🧶🐐

Book update - I am now 4 chapters in and having a little break this week (and maybe next week 🤫). My next chapter will be a short-ish one about my methodological approach which I'm quite excited about. For now it's a chippy tea and maybe more knitting.

Some of my recent masterpieces 😎 the Goya chart I found on Pinterest (not sure who the author is - let me know if you do), and the other two are from the online Antique Pattern Library 📚

Nothing like laying my own hands on my own book for the first time. Literally hot off the press 🔥🔥🔥

I am also working full-time and knitting furiously in-between having my dinner and falling asleep on the sofa at 8pm.

Hi to all new followers 👋 I'm not on here much atm but I'm squirreling away behind the scenes ✍️ I've just started the 4th chapter of my forthcoming book, and Julius Schneider and I are finalising our book chapter on the AfD's manipulation of crime stats for an exciting new volume due in 2026 😎

Some of my recent projects, all based on charts by saylessknits except the goats from WitchWolfWeb Creations on Pinterest 🧶

It's Friday, I'm now on A/L, and I've just finished this bad boi. Mistakes were made but happy that it's legible overall ✌️⛓️ will block eventually (as in soak in water and dry to relax the tension in the stitches)

When I'm not writing for work or my book, I like to torture myself by taking on complicated knitting projects which haunt my dreams 🤣⛓️ I've already made some big mistakes but will see it out til the bitter end as it would be a waste of good suffering, ba-dum-cha! 😜 (chart by saylessknits)

There should also be wings but I've lost this game of yarn chicken. Next time. Pattern by stitchwitchcreations on Etsy 🧶

Finally sat down and knit this baphomet some arms. Welcome to the family 😈

When not attempting to read, I'm making the most of the few evenings off I have between finishing my 2nd book chapter and starting the 3rd by doomscrolling relentlessly ✌️😇

Reading an interesting book at the moment in the ten minutes of Kindle reading I get to do before falling asleep with my glasses on. No reflection on the book ofc, I'm just knackered 🤣 open access through MUP ⬇️

Downstairs' TV is so loud I know what they're watching and where they're at in the film. 28 Days Later and the bit where Brendan Gleeson gets the rage blood in his eye 🧟 great film tbf

Final balcony update (for now): I think we've had a total of around 10-11 clematis blooms but they are now slowly starting to go over. It's been a real treat 🌸🌺🌼💠

Fancy a last minute trip to Northampton on Friday to discuss combatting the extreme right? We've got a couple of travel bursaries left - if this would help you attend do get in touch, we'd love to have you here.

Just finished revising the first chapter of my book 🥂 I feel like a nice sit down on the balcony is in order 🌼🌺🪻☕

🚨 Happy to see my new paper with Prof Marian Sawer out in the Australian Journal of Political Science The good news: it’s open access The bad news: It’s about the “war on woke” www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Equilibrium restored 🥹

Been feeling a bit stressed lately as my neighbours are all incredibly loud in various ways and thus make WFH very difficult. I've got headphones, ear plugs, and a snoozeband, but all I want is just to exist in my own home in relative quiet. People gotta live, that's fair, but don't take the piss.

'German authorities said they had launched multiple raids across three Länder and arrested five suspected far-right extremists. Those detained are alleged to have planned attacks on refugees and political dissidents, among others' www.dw.com/en/germany-u...

What a day, eh.

📻 Das BfV hat die #AfD als gesichert rechtsextrem hochgestuft. Welchen Einfluss hat das auf den #Umgang mit ihr & ihre #Wählerschaft? Was müssen die #Parteien tun, um die Zufriedenheit mit der #Demokratie zu stärken? Dazu habe ich mit DLF Nova gesprochen. www.deutschlandfunknova.de/beitrag/afd-...
