I finally had my UK citizenship ceremony at the end of October. I have been in the UK since 1988, and after Brexit happened, didn’t bother to apply. But after the US election a year ago I was done with the US. I took the oath in Gaelic because Scotland is my home.
Absolutely 💯

The UK has had a “brain drain” of academics and scientists going to the US for higher pay. That looks set to change the other way now.
Recipe or they ain’t real!
Wrote on Discussion chapter of thesis then sent same to supervisors. Watched Chicken attack video on YT with Japanese guy yodelling wearing lederhosen, as you do. Definitely did not do one thing…
3 weeks to PhD thesis submission. I am not having a panic attack… I just wanna eat homemade cookies.
This is the only flag I’m flying today. For Janey. #Trumpisacunt Let’s make it trend.
I had hoped Cheetolini would have ended up like this Doge.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.
Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.
It’s getting real. Creating the title page. 😵💫
I wear the sleep ones at night. I’m a very light sleeper. They work and are comfy.

Oh and it’s just below the Fife coastal path!
I think so - that shore experiences heavily active erosion. Just a few paces near that spot, a salt pans sight disappeared overnight just over 100 years ago after a big storm.
*near Ullapool. Stupid autocorrect.
Just some photos of fieldwork over the past four years! Garvie beach, Kennavara Tiree, Pittenween and Inverlael next Ullapool
I hope they also manage to keep it ad free
My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.
Morning.
Probably in their library!
Today’s thesis win: nailing down the thesis title! Just in time for my supervisor to submit “intention to submit” form. 😃
The feeling you get when you finish a 108-page introduction chapter and submit to supervisors for their feedback (aka slings and arrows). Now to finish the discussion/conclusion chapter… who else can relate?
Hey folks - here’s my first post on Bluesky! I’m in the intense last 3 months of writing my PhD thesis. So if I don’t share much at the moment, you’ll know why! Want to know more about my research, just drop me a comment…
