[DM] "A brief note on the blog and on COVID-19"

Thu, 17 Dec 2020 04:38:23 GMT

I've a post up at Demography Matters noting the all-encompassing impact of COVID-19 on the world and its demographics, and promising that Demography Matters will persist in some form to address the different changes this virus has imposed on us all.

[NON BLOG] Hello from me, 21 times

Thu, 17 Dec 2020 03:38:20 GMT

I would like to say hello. I have been gone from here a long time, I think, the longest break I have ever taken from blogging.

What have I been doing all this time? In the main, I have been trying to live my strange new life this 2020 as best as I can. This includes thinking seriously about what I want to do with this space, and its neighbours. 2020 is many things, but one thing that it can be is a vital space to look back and reflect. (At least it can be those as fortunate as I to be able to use it so; I acknowledge my privilege.) This is going to be a year of transition.

In the meantime, I would like to share with you twenty-one selfies, taken by me in the course of my day-to-day life, at work and at play, all but one within the borders of the city of Toronto. (Oh, borders are things we have come to know too well.)

My last selfie is an unmasked one. Resolution aside, I quite like the photo that my Echo Show 5 took of me.

[MUSIC[ Kygo and Whitney Houston, "Higher Love"

Fri, 11 Sep 2020 03:59:08 GMT

I have recently found last year's version of this Steve Winwood classic song, and I am caught by how suited this critical but hopeful song is for this year.

"Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair
We will walk the line
And try to see
Falling behind in what could be
