I'm such a serious academic etc

Why is it that whenever I tell my colleagues that I'm looking forward to January cuz I'll have time to do some me stuff the reply with just the word "marking" and a devilish grin? Let me live in my blissful ignorance! 😭

I am very late to the game, but I think the final boss fight of Elden Ring is mega anticlimactic. It's punishing and badly telegraphed, but that isn't even my main reason. The dude you hear about the whole game ends up being a throw-away phase one? What a shame, story-wise!

Not me, working on yet another job application - this time for US/Canada, writing casual 5 documents 😭

It's halloween and so I gotta jump on to brag about my cosplay the one day of the year when it's semi-acceptable! 😅 This is the first one I've ever made and damn I'm so proud of my Nightwing

The amount of times I had to explain to my friends that I can simultaneously be happy that Tories aren't in power and be very unhappy about Starmer is genuinely staggering. These two are absolutely not mutually exclusive positions smh

I genuinely love my job. I love teaching, I love learning, I love writing, I love sharing, and I love listening. But goddamn I'm so tired. I'm 28 and I'm knackered of this. How have we decided that this is how we organise our lives, with so much of it taken by labour?

Trying to get rights and reproductions of photographs of this amazing but under-researched artist. I'm now 11 people down a list from the original person telling me to contact someone else 😭

I finally had my graduation yesterday but finishing the PhD only hit me then too. I'll miss big parts of it but especially my supervisor and friends and colleagues I made along the way. 🥰🎓

Congrats to Sam Čermák, PhD from UoM Drama & Film, winner the #IFTR2024 New Scholars' Prize and a Research Excellence medal. His essay titled 'Nude In Water: Slovak Body Art and Feminist Politics in the Work of Ľuba Lauffová' historicised the work of an under-theorised artist.

The opening sequence to Severance is so phenomenal!

400 job cuts announced at Cardiff University. The Vice Chancellor has said “not to change was not an option.” Maybe the Vice Chancellor could propose a change to her £290,000 salary or give her company car back. UCU will deliver a widespread fightback against these attacks.

Guess which tired, overworked academic just submitted his book draft to the publisher? And yes, the facial expression perfectly captures my current feelings 😅

Blown away by the photos I’ve gotten back from Batman photoshoot 😎 definitely my favourite batsuit?

Honestly, I feel like grindr guys should all get acquainted with academia cuz y'all can't deal with rejection and academia really gives you a quick crash course in that

I really said 'i'm gonna take the day slow cuz I'm having a bit of a mental health day today' and then started working at 8 and haven't stopped since - what the hell is going on? :D
