@caromholland The whole PhD experience has been sobering to say the least. I would say it killed most of my passion for the field and for life (those who relocate and put life on hold to do a PhD might relate). Hoping all this suffering will be worth it.

Many academics are already desensitised before/without the pandemic. Years of hierarchical abuse, ruthless competition and social isolation make many unable to process information in an empathic way or just turn them into predators.

@Bas_Buddendorf @AcademicChatter Best of luck!

@thephdstory Yoga, meditation and self forgiveness for all the time lost. Grounding self in something is important; a daily activity regardless of what’s happening, positive self talk, reading something exciting even if not relevant, cooking nutritious food..

@Muna_Abdi_Phd I’m finding similar ideas about feminism through my research on Egyptian women in diaspora. Not everyone, but many dislike feminism and find it disempowering.

@Muna_Abdi_Phd Very sorry for your loss.

“Affect theory posits a struggling, precarious subject who continually lives and arduously strives in a state of ‘cruel optimism’ – that is, faith in the idea of the good life and happiness, which never materializes and is in fact not attainable through such striving”..

From “Gender, Alterity and Human Rights: Freedom in a Fishbowl”. Explains a lot.

@Muna_Abdi_Phd Coffee, reading for dissertation work, then yoga followed by a cold shower. But I’m starting to reach my limit and losing all motivation and focus. Today I can’t focus and have a stress headache. Writing a PhD didn’t need to get more difficult!

Listening to a podcast about inheriting trauma from ancestors. Since it’s not conscious, or discursive, healing isn’t a conscious process either. Interesting. #TAT #energypsychology

#BAMEWA a group/movement for black women/women of colour scholars. Inclusive of non-binary. The internet sometimes is a great place.
