My first conference! Very excited! #academia

I miss having academic circles. Being an independent scholar is actually becoming a lonely task. I'm trying to build up platforms for my academia, not for my work to just be seen, but for me to be seen too. #academic #academia

I have a love/hate relationship with my 5am rise and grind. I hate it, but my conference notes loves it! #academia #academic #blueskyacademic

Published ✨ #academia

What do you mean planning for two conferences, writing a novel, trying to learn Italian, teaching at college and trying to maintain a house, and all my relationships/friendships, and also exercise and be a productive member of society is too much? #Overachiever #Foreverfear of #Underachieving

I doubt anyone will respond but wanted to give it a go - is anyone attending the #NEMLAconference #virtually in 2026? Would love to connect prior! #Academia #Academic

I just green-lit the final proofs of my paper... it will be published any day. I can't believe I did. I really, truly, officially fucking did it. #Academia #AcademicBlueSky #Academic

These girls are fantastic !!! Love their music.

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

I've been informed that it would benefit my academic career for me to redownload X and create a platform on there, but I cannot - for the life of me - bring myself to do it. It feels dirty. It feels like Musk has got his elongated fingers all over it. No thanks. I'd rather stay here. #Bluesky

I'm so excited for my recent research to be out in the open for all to see - it's vulnerable, like the very essence of erotica itself!

I'm absolutely going to open a bottle of prosecco the day it's officially out in the world to read. #Published #Academic #Academia

So, I wasn't going to write anything until it was officially published but... your girl's paper was accepted by Taylor & Francis! #Academic #Academicweapon

Is it bad to say I'm in a rabbit-hole with my own writing? Feels like I shouldn't, going to anyway! #writer #writerofbluesky #creativewriting

Queen.

How is everyone's writing going? Fill me in. The other day I tried rewriting a scene - sin I know considering it's still my first draft - and I nearly cried. Tell me how's it going for you? #Writers #WritersofBluSky #Writer

Friends! It's nice to be back. Turns out summer holidays and then steamrolling into a new term - with glandular fever - would really takes it toll! But I'm back. What's new? (Except the horrible state of affairs in the world right now.)

I was once told to not be political on social media, but silence is to be complicit, and I will never, ever side with the oppressor. #justiceforPalenstine #feminism

I ache inside when I think about the state of this world sometimes. The abhorrent realisation that still, in 2025, there is genocide; that still, in 2025, the bodies of women are being policed. #worldlypolitics

Changing jobs was the best decision I ever made! #Absenceexplained!

AOC spot on , this is what leadership looks like.

It finally happened... I missed a deadline. Despite several reminders literally pinned onto my wall, I totally forgot the difference between British Time Zones and Australian... They are a day ahead. #Academicfail #Academia #Essaywriting #Icouldcry x

Copy of The Canterbury Tales.

Loads of spelling mistakes in this.

I'm not a publisher, not a marketer-extraordinaire. I have no idea how to navigate these waters. But I do, I think, know how to #write. So, if you fancy supporting an #indieauthor, please click on this link and buy now!

Reading is political.

Reading has always been political.

Your favorite characters wouldn’t just sit by and watch. They’d get up and burn some shit to the ground.

Trump Admin. Axes Newly Created School Safety Board The Trump administration disbanded a board that advises agencies on school safety strategies. Members include parents of school shooting victims.

To exist in a world where guns are cared more for than kids and you act like you're the greatest country in the world. It's actually insanity. #politics #USApolitics

How To Be a Writer, #111:
Open laptop
Look into the void
Scream into the void
Consider that maybe the void also sometimes feels this way about you
Ask the void if it takes milk
Choose a nice mug for the void
And maybe a chocolate biscuit
Lose yourself in the void
Tea

If it talks like a ____, if it salute's like a ____, then it's a ____

i feel like you should be allowed to talk about & promote your book for at least as long as it took you to write it
