Another piece I was lucky to work on with @scepa-economics.bsky.social on the experience of older care givers in the US. From the awesome research of @jessforden.bsky.social and Siavash Radpour!

Are you taking care of a family member who is old enough to receive Social Security? Help researchers at the Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis understand how taking care of older family members affects your decisions around retirement and social security claiming. @jessforden.bsky.social

Finally reading DWP Pathways to Work report and am beyond frustrated to see the claim to "ensure their [disabled peoples'] voices shape our proposals" alongside an inability to think beyond "economic inactivity" and see welfare and services as support for actual human beings.

On the 1st of January, the #Curae prize for writer-carers opens for a second time. The demise of twitter is making it harder to get the word out, so do share! thecuraeprize.uk There are around 7 million unpaid carers in the UK alone & Curae shines a light on the role & much more. #carers #writing

I moved to Morecambe Bay in July and it is unreal here.

A multi-colored sunset with the sun so bright it creates a slanting light across the whole picture. The sun sets over an empty expanse of sand with the sea far in the distance.

Finally trying BSky for real, hoping for some #AnthroTwitter pre-X vibes. If you're anthro of #activism, economy, austerity, world-building, #data (and data's refusal), let's connect! #Anthropology #EconAnthro
