@DrAlisonMachin @EdinburghNapier Thank you 🥰

[Alix Aitken-Arbuckle @Alix_jane]

The day arrived! Graduation 2023 with PhD from @EdinburghNapier What a crazy journey getting here over 6 years- 2 kids, house move, Pandemic, and losing my best friend. Only a few weeks left of mat leave then starting my dream job 🥰 not a bad way to end student life!

[Alix Aitken-Arbuckle @Alix_jane]

Happy International Day of the Midwife 2023 #IDM2023 This year I spend it on the other side as a birth mother, grateful for the midwives who cared for me when I had my baby a few months ago. Not all heros wear capes🦸‍♀️

4/4 some might say use #parenting suites and if they are available I do, but these are few and far between! Ahhh the realities of a #breastfeedingparent 🤱

[Alix Aitken-Arbuckle @Alix_jane]

🧵1/4 How many parents have #breastfed or #expressed #pumped sitting on or standing next to a lidless toilet? Studies have shown how far pathogens reach when flushing without a lid https://t.co/HVQNda73HO Yet many public toilets are lidless.

[Alix Aitken-Arbuckle @Alix_jane]

3/4 Can anyone explain the purpose of lidless toilet seats in public toilets? Are they necessary for use by disabled users? Although they are not just in accessible facilities, they're in baby changing too. So when you lay baby down to change them, they are exposed to pathogens🤢

[Alix Aitken-Arbuckle @Alix_jane]

@SoniaDalkin Thank you, the Viva was a really great experience- thank you again. Yes dinner out was fab!

[Alix Aitken-Arbuckle @Alix_jane]

Passed my Viva today after 6 years living the PhD life. Yabadabadoooo!

They didn’t resign over Covid deaths.
They didn’t resign over benefit cuts.
They didn’t resign over Partygate.
They didn’t resign over PPE.
They didn’t resign over Brexit failure.
They didn’t resign over deporting refugees.

Spare us the praise for the ‘good’ Tories.
