Kristin MarklingNewton, the dog who has lived with me for two years, died yesterday. I had more words to say about it than can be shared here, so am attempting to share a link to the Substack post I made about it.

The Politics of Islamic Death Rituals in the COVID-19 Era
Abstract Throughout the Islamic world, the era of COVID-19 has witnessed controversial changes to highly ritualised traditional Islamic funeral rites. To combat the pandemic in Egypt, the government and Al-Azhar implemented restrictions surrounding group prayer and burial which many Egyptians viewed as impinging on their religious duties as well as on their ability to mourn. Utilising participant observation, interviews, and deductive research, this article explores the social and anthropological ramifications involved in the modification of traditional Islamic burial rituals in the era of COVID-19 and the negotiations involved amongst different actors, looking specifically at cases in Egypt.
JennHi hi. I work between #Adelaide & #Sydney in experimental performance & #liveart (producing /curating / making). Atm my gigs focus on #physicalperformance, #sitespecific works, #queerperformance & #video.
I’m one half of BadJelly DJs, we play mostly #disco #goth #newwave #hiphop on #vinyl. I collect #records!
In the Before Times I did a lot of #travel for work, living out of a suitcase for 3 years.
I’m the human to a senior #staffy x #jackrussell called Easy Tiger. I spend time #gardening, #cooking, #makingcocktails, getting #tattoos, #renovating, #swimming. Another thing my mind & body are occupied with is #ptsd.
Like the #genx #90sgoth cliche that I am, I’m interested in the #occult, #deathrituals & the associated accoutrements.
I chat about all of the above plus a bunch of #AusPol issues.
I have Scottish, Italian and British heritage (that I know of) and am a settler on unceded #Kaurna land. My family has called #PortAdelaide home since the late 1890s & that place is very special to me.
Pics are: my latest tattoo, an art bar inside an underground crypt that I was fortunate to visit in Bristol a fortnight ago, a skate park we built in the Pilbara when I was recently on tour with #BranchNebula where we did shows and ran workshops for local kids, my dog having a hard day at the office.
