Bet On It by Troy remains the most motivational song to exist. I am taking no questions. It is single handedly getting me through my thesis

my spotify wrapped is going to be wild this year i can already feel it. the combination of thesis hell & going back to the gym means I'm almost exclusively listening to grime & 00s hits 🤷

Back at the PhD tomorrow after a week off, entering into the beginning of the end 😬 People who have survived beyond the end of their PhD, how did you manage thesis writing? What boundaries did you put in place or wish that you had done? #EpiTwitter #AcademicTwitter

I'm detemined to try my best to get finished within the remaining time, but I'm worried about burning myself out. Some of that I know will be unavoidable, but hopefully being intentional before I jump in might help a bit? So really welcome any suggestions or advice!

what are people looking for when they want you to "propose a study" for an interview? like genuinely any help especially if you have been on the interviewing side (not that I have an interview or anything obviously👀)

writing future research proposals is just rapidly oscillating between "this idea slaps, they should hire me right here right now" and "i have no thoughts, what is regression, how do you do the things"

Replying to @TLRailUK
@TLRailUK hiya, will there be no further trains between Deptford and West Hampstead Thameslink tonight? I can’t see why that is the case from your website but none are showing on the timetable. Thanks!

Amazing how my brain can one week write the majority of a paper & the next week be so crippled by ~whatever is going on in there~ that I can't do anything 🫠

Followers who do things where you sell stuff - card machine recs? is there a particularly good one? i.e. that's also cheap?

I snuck off for a little writing retreat this week. Thank you @gladlib for helping me get a few thousand words closer to a thesis, I’ll probably be back again before the end the year 📚📝👩‍💻

HOW do you start a paper introduction in a way that is not shit? I have written about 45 different versions and I hate every single one
