Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention

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.

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...
