    Passed my viva with minor corrections today 💪🏼 I had decided this was going to be the day I brought Batman & Bruce Wayne together :P So I’m gonna close my academic-only Twitter & unify my presence under this account. Here’s why it's important to me to be both people at once.

    Every now and again someone I know in real life says 'oh yeah I saw that on your Twitter' and I experience anew the horrifying realisation that it isn't just the internet people who live in my phone who have witnessed my fifteen-month-long lockdown-induced disintegration.

  4. 🥺🥺🥺🥺 super emosh about people’s reactions to my performance at ’s fundraiser. But the best review ever has to be: “I was talking to a friend for a sec and then you lost your clothes.” Story of my life.

    I'm going to try this again b/c the last time I tried to write about the consequences of having PTSD due to sexual and relationship violence, and the ways that intersects with academia, I experienced some f***ing PTSD and couldn't go on. Thread: 1/

  16. Just withdrew my first TikTok creator fund balance - £11.22 in 2 months 🙃 don’t get me wrong, I am SO happy that platforms somehow manage to pay creators, but considering one of my vids is at 4.5M views and one at 1.2M… it’s not a lot per view 😅
