Watching the @LewisCapaldi documentary and realising that Lewis and I must’ve been separated at birth

The cost of living crisis is so wild, I just watched an interior design influencer’s reel and she’s stood in her hallway in bare feet. My first reaction was to marvel at how she can afford to have the heating on to that level rather than at the actual content of the clip

Thought I’d share this amazing job opportunity for anyone looking atm, what a salary x

Last night at the Met Gala, Sarah Jessica Parker wore a dress designed in homage to Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley. Keckley was the first Black female fashion designer to work in the White House. She was First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln's dressmaker. Here is a thread about her life.

@Witchy_Nat Thank you for this! Definitely good to know. I’m sorry that they did that to you - I’d be gutted!!

@cathstainer Obviously if it happens during your PhD it's bad luck (and you could look into teaching at another nearby institution). The issue at my department is it still mentions teaching experience on the website even though it hasn't been offered since 2018.

My biggest disappointment with my PhD experience is that there was no chance to do paid teaching in my department. Thought I was over it but after a meeting today I'm clearly not. It's a farce that prospective PhDs are not made aware of the situation before they apply.

@stuartjones22 Thank you! This is true. I still want to do a PhD eventually but I don’t think it’s right for me at the moment

Hello academics / lecturers / PhD students I need advice… I have a BA in history and an MA in historical research - pre-pandemic my plan was always to go into academia, do a PhD etc. Since then, I’ve done a lot of thinking and I’m now unsure if I want to do a PhD at this (🧵)

Thoughts? Is this a good idea? Not sure if it looks like a cop-out having two MAs- like I don’t really know what I’m doing with my life so I just keep going back to uni? Thanks x x

Would really welcome some advice on whether a second MA is a good idea - I don’t often hear of people doing this. I need experience in the museum sector and an MA seems the best way to go about it in terms of both qualifications and work experience opportunities

We were talking about the Wizard of Oz..,

Imagine admitting this
