I have a question for all those who have done a PhD. If you weren’t in an academic institution, how did you write your research proposal? I’m struggling with how to access the texts I need #history #historyphd #phd #academicchatter
Also women’s wrestling is way more entertaining than men’s.
Just caught up with War Games…who is the hooded figure?!?
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
Oh Kemi…that was so awkward.
Feeling really sorry for that OBR worker that pressed publish….
Did some exercise this morning and I hate to report but it actually does make you feel a bit more energetic. Very annoying.
There are only so many hours in a day and teachers cannot do it all. They have lives and families too. Rant over.
Personalities in a class?? Be more creative and get outside more - but that might not appeal to the whole class. Use more technology in your lessons - the technology that’s out of date or broken or there isn’t enough for all of them to use. And who is planning and prepping for all these lessons?
Topic isn’t one they are particularly interested in. Just make your lessons more fun then! Make them appeal to everyone! That’s not a realistic ambition. Not all the children learn the same way or have the same interests. How can a lesson be tailored to everyone when there are so many diverse
It’s impossible. They are so used to constant stimulation from availability of tv programs, or changing a YouTube video as soon as they aren’t interested anymore, or being constantly entertained by their adult at home that they have no resilience to just sit there and be still and listen even if the
I cannot listen to people who know nothing about teaching go on about how awful schools are and how it’s just not fun for kids. The real problem in schools is that we’ve created a generation of people who cannot be bored. Not every subject or every lesson is going to suit every child within a class
What they really mean is they miss a time they could put up No Blacks, No Irish, No dogs signs without getting any stick for it!
I think you’ve been really successful. Look at everything you’ve achieved! A book, a beautiful baby and a PhD on the way. I did my masters when I was pregnant with and then when my third was a newborn so I have a deep admiration for everything you’ve done.
Can I ask you why you chose to do a PhD when you’re already so successful? I’m really umming and ahhing about whether to try and get a place somewhere as I’ve finished my masters and missing studying but I’m not sure or should just try and write? Or do both? Or neither? Imposter syndrome is real!
Only if no one else needs the phone
Ok I need advice. Finished my masters this year and I know I want to write and share history but I’m not sure if I need to do a phd to gain some more confidence to do this. I get massive imposter syndrome and think a PhD might help me feel more of an expert. Or should I just start writing?? Heeellpp
WITCH! THIS WOMAN IS A WITCH. SHE IS FLYING OVER THAT PUDDLE!

I started trying to find my grandfather’s WWI and II record. I have an amazing letter written to him from a former pow he looked after in Egypt but I’m struggling to find any more about where they were held or what it was like.Military terms are so confusing.Any tips welcome #WWI #militaryhistory
Just fell down an online rabbit hole trying to find out more about my grandfather’s and great-grandfather’s military service during WWI and II.
You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you.
Oh dear… At least there’d be an abundance of clean stones to help with a rescue attempt.
And also good news because he’s never been a very nice person.
Booked to go to my first online conference.Imposter syndrome is strong but trying things out of my comfort zone.Its hard when you’re trying to start a history career outside of the academic world.Should I be going to a conference or is it just for proper historians? #skystorians #impostersyndrome
Just registered to attend. Looks great!
Just posted my first ever substack 🫣🫣 Feel free to pop over and give it a read

Dissertation done! Started my online masters in 2019 - a global pandemic and my third baby later I’ve finally finished it. Whoop!
I’m just gonna say - the women carried Wrestlemania #wrestlemania
Happy Wrestlemania Weekend
Could do without the bullshit misogyny that went with it though.
The changes we have to go through, periods, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause all play absolute havoc with our hormones and definitely fuck with my mental and physical health.
