Delighted to publish this Open Access article on the "Data Myth" with @pfirchow.bsky.social We argue that data in the conflict response sector fetishises more data, faster data and "impartial" data. We conclude with 5 tenets of good practice for peace & conflict data

My favourite - albeit from the European elections - was this "Stop the Madness" poster in Donegal. There was no mention what the madness might be.

This arrived in the mail. Might be useful to a number of societies.

Woke up to 37 new "followers" many of whom are fake name or suspicious accounts. A bit disappointed in this blue sky thing.

Could be a health and safety issue!

Not quite sure. I quite liked the snark on Twitter. This seems very safe. Like scones in a National trust tearoom.

Not sure how it works on this bluesky thing but I published a free-to-access article earlier this week: Looks at the lifeworlds that people construct for themselves in conflict-affected societies. doi.org/10.1177/0010...
