As a postc*lonial scholar, it's going to be quite difficult to use this site with dec*lonization being a banned word. I will be moving over to 🟦🌫 where my username is the same. Hope to see you all there, and if you want an access code pls DM me. I have a few to spare.

Member is unforgettable. I cannot even pick a standout - every single person is amazing, from the MacBeths to the witches to Seyton, everyone. The setting/adaptation hits hard with our times. It's truly a once in a lifetime experience and I'm glad I already managed to watch. /end

If you are able, I strongly recommend catching @Macbeth_theshow. I'm not just recommending it because this is my favorite Shakespeare play, but simply, it is the best theatre I have ever experienced. The set, lighting, and sounds leave you shaking for hours after, every cast...1/

Ah, so today is Sun Yat-sen's birthday. This reminds me of the excitement of discovering his signature in an archival document (it was one of my first archival visits ever). 此研究者之樂也。

PhDs: your dissertation topic is less relevant to finding a role outisde of academia than your *skills*.

Here's a 🧵 on how to translate skills you already have into corpspeak using examples from my own PhD work experience:

Got my rooibos, bok jersey, and a vase of protea on the shelf. All ready for tonight's semi-final. #GoBokke !

[Happy PhD Supervisor @HaPhDsupervisor]

A new PhD started today. She asked for general advice for the first few months. This was my advice:
1. Don’t work evenings or weekends
2. Don’t aim to prove yourself (to me), I’m already convinced of your capacities
3. Go for a walk when things dazzle you (1/3)
