research day has turned into another teaching planning day...i guess this is my life now

thank you!! hahah I've been told I have a talent for making people that have taught at QM feel old 😅

woo i've now *officially* officially been awarded my phd🥳

i think of the people of gaza every day. praying for a permanent ceasefire and the liberation of the palestinian people 🇵🇸

For sure! Discussing ideas with peers is super helpful, it's still something to get used to not having that one person whose going to be there to help and support, rather than it being a favour!

totally! I didn't realise how collaborative it actually was until now. Thanks so much for the offer! I'll keep that in mind - and also very happy to do the same for you :)

Not to mention doing research in my free time, unpaid, alongside other work

It’s actually really daunting proposing/writing articles post-PhD and not running ideas/drafts past my supervisor..what if what I’m writing is complete rubbish?

Return of my unproductivity buddy

Oklahoma 🤝 Sunset Blvd

Someone much smarter than me needs to write about the opening of Act Two of Jamie Lloyd’s Sunset Blvd

The reminder that some lives are deemed more worthy of saving and protection than others will always break my heart

Solidarity with the Palestinian people every day, but today say it with your chest 🇵🇸

got a job rejection at 1:52am last night - you'd think they could at least sort out the automated reply times

stormed the stage during 'one day more'/climax of Act One and glued themselves to the set. Intense outrage and heckling from the crowd who clearly couldn't see the irony that they were watching a romanticised version of a past revolution while objecting to being mildly inconvenienced lol

the just stop oil les mis protest is just tooooo good

Thanks Hannah! This is so reassuring to read, and those are really good starting points for me to think about!

thank you kate! That's really helpful. I imagined spending hours and hours prepping for it but in reality it just can't work like that with other pressures!

my viva is in a couple of weeks and I feel like I have no time to prepare as I can't afford to take time off paid work! Any tips or advice? (if anyone is here...)
