I am so angry that UoC staff are being faced with such trauma after what has been the most difficult year. My supervisor @EMMAREES has given me incredible support and has made my PhD experience amazing despite everything. Emma & all staff deserve better. @ChesterUcu @IGSChester

This year, staff have gone above and beyond to support students and adapt to teaching in a pandemic. Now the University of Chester has issued a notice of 86 potential redundancies.

Loving my life at #talkingbodies2023 - so empowering, friendly, and inspiring! I’ve been lucky enough to help organise this conference with the best team ever! What a privilege. Gender studies is the BEST. 🧡🌈 ⁦@Talking_Bodies⁩

Such a wonderfully engaging talk from @phdkate_ on challenging the dominant pregnancy script. Swapping it for The Feminist Pregnancy script - phenomenal work, Kate!! ❤️

@AcademicChatter Set small goals for each day, I got so overwhelmed at 1st thinking of everything I had to do on a macro level it was keeping me from focusing and actually writing. Set a small goal that works for (2 pages a day, one section a day, etc) and close your laptop when you’re done

The biggest lie you will ever tell yourself?

"I don't need to write that down, I will remember it"

You will not remember it, write it down. You will thank yourself later.

Also me: never has my tickets ready and scrambles around trying to find them

“I organised my own protest on 6th May 2021. Madonna shows up. I lead Madonna and her family on a march. A few days later I get a dm from British Vogue and now I’m in the 2020 activist edition.” @AytonImarn
