I cannot in good conscience continue to be active on a platform that, for the most part, feeds me with content that makes me angry, sad, displaced. My time on this planet is short: I want to dedicate it to people, places, and things that make me happy. See you on the other side!

Like every year, our doctoral @nasp_school has just published its call for application for the Sociology and Methodology of Social Research PhD programme! You can find it here: unimi.it/en/education/postgr… Deadline 27 June!
Join us at our lively and multi-disciplinary faculty, which hosts a growing community of scholars in sociology, media and communications and digital cultures cc @srgspl @m_barisione @giorgishka @FerruBiolca @massimoairoldi @giuliadottisani @lu_cecco @gerry_sasha and many others!
The second article from the CRAFTWORK project is here! We're delighted to be part of the new @IJCS_journal special issue on Global Perspectives on Platforms and Cultural Production with a piece on neo-craft work as 'platform-ised' work. Check it out! 👉journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
In addition, we show the colonisation of neo-craft work imaginaries by the socio-technical imaginaries of platform cultures, and the key role that Instagram holds in the execution, display, and promotion of neo-craft work.
The article is based on research supported by @ERC_Research Starting Grants 2020 (all info here: cordis.europa.eu/project/id/…). Thanks to the editors Thomas Poell @brookeerinduffy @gamespacenl et al, and the anonymous reviewers! 💥
