Back teaching Intro to Social Sciences to adult learners with @LearnCardiff this eve. Always love the students, who are pursuing new paths amongst all the challenges of re-entering education. Total rock stars, every one of them. Such a privilege to work with them.
This year is going to be the year I thrive. I am going to:
- Finish my thesis
- Graduate with my PhD
- Buy my own home
- Get an agent for my fiction book and secure a publishing deal
I am manifesting these goals and I hope I succeed #phdchat #AcademicTwitter #amquerying
Next year is going to be my year. I am going to:
- finish my dissertation
- graduate with my PhD
- get a job
- move
- build a happier life
Positively manifesting this for 2023. I hope I succeed. #phdchat #phdvoice #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter
Phd lit review chapters edited and amended. 2x fiction book submissions to agents done. Bit of swimming. Bit of dancing. Bit of illness. Some fluffy socks and all the best chocolates have gone. #XMAS2022

Since she was a little girl, men have been making “jokes” about wanting to rape Greta Thunberg. These “jokes” are rape culture. Men use sexual violence as a threat and a punchline when women and girls do things they don’t like.
One more work day on the #phd Feeling grateful and optimistic going into Xmas. Hope you all find some joy, love and warmth as the year ends. Huge support to our nurses and anyone else who is fighting for their value and their lives. #NHSStrikes #ambulancestrike #XMAS2022

There is no ‘war on men’ – we now know feminism is good for boys
A report shows that boys benefit from learning about gender stereotypes and different types of masculinity.

Misogyny and racism are normalised, even promoted by “celebrities” like Clarkson & Morgan.
It leads to & is responsible for increased violence against women and girls. Sexualising & demonising women in the way they do has to stop.

Combo of misogynoir, sexism & racism against #MeghanMarkIe on public display is sick
Likes of Jeremy Clarkson, Piers Morgan et al can spew their filth with impunity against her, be rewarded with media platforms & party with Queen Camilla. Why you ask?
Welcome to White Privilege
Watching my son in his first theatrical production. He sings, dances, acts. He’s the best thing on the stage and I am beyond proud and amazed my ex-husband and I brought such an epic human into the world….

Working in the cold has made me ill. Surely sharing pics of being inside wearing scarfs, hats and fingerless gloves when it’s freezing outside shouldn’t be normalised? Just like the use of food banks. #CostOfLivingCrises

So if we can get every homeless person into accommodation during a pandemic why can’t we do the same when temperatures plummet ? 🤔
I’m on my sofa, under a blanket with a hot water bottle working on my phd, which is pretty much where I’ll be for the rest of the year #phdchat

Amazing ‘fuck you’ from these two
Watch NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern pick apart this reporter's question during a joint press conference with Finnish PM Sanna Marin. He asked the pair 'are you two meeting because you're similar in age and got a lot of common stuff there?'
