A day in the life of Linda. Aka my new research assistant 🥰 It's only been 10 days since she and her buddies were adopted and she's such a friendly and inquisitive little thing. 🐔🐔🐔🥰🐔🐔🐔 #RescueHens #ExBatteryHens #BHWT #BritishHenWelfareTrust

How have I only noticed this article today? This was a lovely blast from the past and the @ffnplus.bsky.social #CollaborAcademy with Dr Rosie Hornbuckle & Dr Seher Mirza... Read my reflections of our @iated.bsky.social #iCERi presentations here 👇 futurefibresnetworkplus.com/collaboracad...

Despite Exhibit A, Exhibit B and Exhibit C, I managed to get around 2k words down today and have now reached the halfway point of the thesis as shown in Exhibit D! The end is near! 🥳 (I just hope it doesn't include any of my random thoughts such as "oh for god sake Nugget, get down!" 😆 )

When you've got a thesis to write but also recently adopted 4 new rescue hens & need to supervise the chaos and seemingly never ending drama of the existing hens. Thank goodness I invested in an electric blanket and a wifi booster! #RescueHens #ExBatteryHens #WorkingFromHome #PhDLife

Alfie has no interest in academic research or the fact I was on a call to Yale University. To him, it's gone 5pm on a Friday and he wants cwtches. Almost #Caturday #PhD #SustainableFashion #WFHCat #OfficeCat #WorkingFromHome

To Do List Today: Write about the epistemology and ontology of #practivism as a pedagogical approach. What I have actually done: 🪸 Bought 3kg of Gower laverbread 🚌 Purchased a festival campervan ticket 🐔 Adopted 4 rescue hens to collect this weekend But it's not 9:30am yet, wish me luck...

One of the highlights of visiting the US was finding tons of these in all sorts of flavours in supermarkets (but hardly any vegetables) & presenting at Yale of course! That reminds me I need to stock up on Selwyn's laverbread...local seaweed always tastes better! 🌊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🌊 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I wish my little lady would realise she's in retirement and doesn't need to lay anymore. Because this looks painful!! 😭 #RescueHens #ExBatteryHens #HenRetirement @bhwt.bsky.social

I had such a wonderful time at Ysgol Trimsaran teaching Y3 pupils about where our clothes come from & where they end up. We had an action packed day using my #PhD resources on an imaginary journey along the #FastFashion supply chain... 1/🧵 #EduSky #CfW #CriticalPedagogy #SustainableFashion

So great to go for a mini hike followed by watching the sunset with a pint this evening. Perfect antidote to the world right now. #SundayVibes #SwitchOff

Oh heck yes @cerysmatthews.bsky.social!!! 🙌 One of my top Beatles songs ever 🎵🥰🎵 Diolch yn fawr! youtu.be/tAe2Q_LhY8g?...

The outcome is not the same thing as the process. Just because learning results in changes in memory doesn't mean that retrieving information is all you focus on. Motivation matters! If you want children and young people to love learning you have to help them understand that it's joyful. ☺️ #EduSky

Now, do I attempt to explain the epistemological & ontological perspectives of an emerging pedagogical approach (that doesn't even have a clear definition yet) or do I go to the gym? Alfie once again says neither because it's almost #Caturday!😻 #EduSky #PhDLife #WFHCat #OfficeCat #WorkingFromHome

It's officially #FreireFriday as I'm about to tackle the critical pedagogy section of my theoretical framework thesis chapter! But I am NOT allowing myself to open this book*, because I can never put it down... #EduSky #CriticalPedagogy #PhDLife *Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire

How's my thesis writing going today? 🤔 👇 (It's not even #Caturday yet!) #EduSky #PhDLife #WFHCat #OfficeCat #WorkingFromHome

I'm actually giving myself a lunch break from the thesis today. Is it worth checking the news? Or would I be best sticking to the thesis exploring the socio-environmental issues of the capitalist fashion system? 👀 #PhD #PhDLife

Plaid Cymru’s Crown Estate Wales Bill passed its third reading unopposed in the House of Lords today, marking a symbolic victory for the long-running campaign to bring control of Wales’ natural assets into Welsh hands

What a remarkable young man! A true hero and well deserving of the Chief Constable's Commendation award for his bravery. 🙌 Can we just turn US politics off for the weekend and have more news like this please?! www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

As an ex-free school meal kid, working 16+yrs in education witnessing the economic v's education attainment gap, this is really worrying!💔 "84% of low-income families read more after receiving support. For many families the programmes provide a child’s first ever books." #BookStart #BookTrustCymru

I shouldn't love this as much as I do. But socio-economic politics combined with maps? What's not to love? Comments are highly recommended too! Hefyd, ie Cymru! 🙌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🙌 (I realise this is also due to population)

New research highlights from 2025! This thread covers some of our latest work on capitalism, imperialism, post-growth and ecosocialist futures. It's all open access, and free PDFs are available via the link at the end of the thread. 🧵

After another 11hrs at the screen today (L6 marking), I'm officially incapable of spelling the word "participants". Which is problematic if* I aim to do some thesis writing tomorrow! *If I get the marking done that is! 👀 "Juggling too many hats" as I like to say! 😆

Yes Wales!! 2 of the top 10 global Vegan restaurants are based here in Wales! 🙌 Both of which are on my foodie bucket list. 🤤🥦🫛🧅🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🧄🥗🍲🤤 #VeganForTheAnimals #VeganForThePlanet #Vegan @nation.cymru nation.cymru/feature/vega...

Fascinating to see how far my research has travelled. My latest #PhD #CriticalPedagogy paper has been read in Portugal-Malaysia-Turkey & has an interest score higher than 67% of research items published in 2025! This is bonkers to me!🤯 Abstract👇 Read it here: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Does anyone else do this? 😆 (write large highlighted messages to themselves to remind them where they were before they remembered to do edits elsewhere?) #Research #PhD #PHDLife #AcademicSky #EduSky #MyPoorBrainIsMelting!!!

I haven't even got my own Xmas tree up yet, but the girls have theirs 🐔🥰🐔 #RescueHens #ExBatteryHens #ChickRetirement #CrazyChickenLady @bhwt.bsky.social

Slightly late to the party... #2025Wrapped

Today I will not be buying anything. ❌🛍️❌ Largely because of the message on this t-shirt I customised, inspired by the words of the incredible Caryn Franklin, but also because I have a bloody thesis to write! Capitalism: I'm not buying it! #NoBlackFriday #GreenFriday #GwenerGwyrdd #CitizenFriday

A major new research project will delve into Wales’s long and often overlooked history of herbal medicine, shedding light on how people treated illness and maintained their health before the arrival of the NHS wp.me/p8Mk4U-198p

If Wales is to be understood as a nation by people in England – and indeed respected as a nation – the school history books there must reflect the reality of these Isles from a shared perspective ✍️Stephen Price

Here's my Ukraine Peace Plan. 1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine, including Crimea. 2. Russia stays the fuck out of Ukraine, including Crimea. 3. Ukraine decides its own future. 4. Putin ends up in The Hague for war crimes 5. Trump ends up in The Hague for war crimes

One more post about Seville... The Spanish know how to close an education conference! Muchas gracias @iated.bsky.social & #iCERi2025! #AcademicSky #EduSky #Conference

🍻 Here’s a big “cheers” from me, about my new paper! This time last week I had just presented my most recent research paper at the @iated.bsky.social #iCERi2025 conference and it’s now LIVE! You can find it on this now on my Research Gate profile here: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

the year is 2030. a doctor solemnly informs you that you have plastic in your testicles bc millions of people persuaded by celebrity marketing bought synthetic pubic hairs that were eventually consumed by fish that you ate

I may have spent much of today working, but it involved fashion, maps and SDG's, so it's all good! Did I create individual maps to break down each supply chain stage? Yes, of course I did! 😆 #LecturerLife #FashionSupplyChain #SDGs #SustainableDevelopmentGoals #Cartophile #ILoveMaps 😅

I bet Trump is tamping today.

Honouring Jane Goodall this evening with a cocktail from my #FreeTheTipple book*. We lost not just a great mind but a woman with determination & compassion. Thank you for everything you've done for conservation, animals & inspiring so many young girls! *Each cocktail is.dedidated to iconic women ✊️
