🚨 Publication alert 🚨

In "Work–family conflict: A classed phenomenon?" Berglind Hólm Ragnarsdóttir, Valgerður S Bjarnadóttir, Andrea Hjálmsdóttir, and Anna Soffía Víkingsdóttir show that both work to family and family to work conflict are associated with anxiety and depression among women and that these relationships are more pronounced among working class women.

“We shall fight them on the beaches…” Not Winston Churchill, but a reference to Whit Monday 1964 when Mods and Rockers clashed on Brighton beach. The two tribes set about each other with belts, chains, burning deckchairs and stones. This was the latest in a long line of Mods v Rockers “fixtures” - Clacton, Hastings, Margate, Bournemouth…

The good news is I am still getting daily emails from @stuartelden's email list. The bad news is that he just might have left Mastodon altogether. It is unfortunate, but we all must travel our own path.

I recommend signing up for his email list. Anyone with a professional or personal interest in #academia, #humanities, #philosophy, #sociology, #geography, #SpaceAndPlace, and #books will not be disappointed. I have followed his blog on and off since about 2012/2013. I have 4 or 5 books he has edited or written, including the most recent I just got Friday, in which is was the editor of hard to find translations of #HenriLefebvre's works: On the Rural: Economy, Sociology, Geography

Actionable items: pick one or two and work on offices and events within walking and commuting distance.

When we grow food at home and in neighborhoods, we peel the Profiteers' fingers off our necks.

If we remove prison slavery and replace it with gentle custody, we save ourselves and spite slavers.

If we make hospitable policy for newcomers, we spite racists.

If we fix zoning we spite landlords and fix the invented housing crisis.

If we write or call or visit to our elected reps every day, they won't have time to cheat with lobbiests.
