One of (my) life's biggest disappointments is the inability to work in the garden when it's sunny. There's power and WiFi but I've never found a satisfactory resolution to the screen issue (and yes I've tried an umbrella, cardboard box etc). Good problem to have I guess ☀️!

British Sociological Association presentation done ✅ - a really enjoyable panel with important synergies around the politics of mental health. And it's great to be finally getting to share findings from the wonderful Men Minds Project.

Enjoying the early morning sights of sunny Manchester, before a busy day of conferencing. I've been impressed by this city so far!

You know how parenthood has transformed your life, when your first stop on your first ever trip to Manchester isn't the finest bars, eateries or art galleries... but this instead....

Plans for a solid morning concentrating on writing have been scuppered by a very large wasp in my workspace. In April? Why are there wasps in April? A bee would be fine, but a wasp might call for drastic action. Send help!

Hi @dedoose.bsky.social or anyone here that uses #Dedoose When coding media I have this view on my screen. I have a lot of codes and it would be good to see more of them on screen. Is there a way to expand the code box on bottom right at all? Sorry for the basic question but I'm new to Dedoose!

I always wonder how productive I would be if I didn't spend a significant proportion of my time staring at a screen that was doing this 😬

Joining the masses, in a good way. I'm sure I'll post work-related stuff soon, once I've got the hang of this app and worked out who to follow. In the meantime here's a coo that I met today, for high-brow content...
