Presented at @socialhistsoc.bsky.social's 50th anniversary conference yesterday! Was a little nervous as it's impossible to do Greenham and indeed heterotopias justice in ~20 minutes but it was so well received and was a very positive experience!

I am one invoices email away from losing my mind I think

Not to brag but I am having incredible luck with charity shop book finds right now 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

sir this is not helpful

We adopted a cat! He’s called Humphrey and he’s blind in one eye and he’s my best friend actually

I'm not usually affected by dark days and grey weather but omg. I would love to see the sun again one day

headphones have died and a man on the train is very loudly making his way through a whole bag of chupa chups 😔

I'm still looking for participants to interview about Reclaim the Night, squatting/housing co-ops and feminist architecture! Please share 💗

turns out editing what you wrote when you had a fever is worse

A flamingo from a bird sanctuary in my home town has gone missing and migrated to France and I quite honestly love that for her

so exciting having an office for the year!! just a little worried I’ll lose the key

still looking!

my parents have taken in an old stray cat (so they’re a 3 cat household now) and I love him so much 🥹 he’s called Bertie and he’s stolen my bed but I don’t mind

Ursula K. LeGuin on technology

kind of spooked by/obsessed with my Microsoft Teams transcription of an interview suggesting that, despite not saying anything at this exact moment, I’m asking my interviewee to play me some music like they’re a court jester

Was in the archive yesterday and interviewing for my oral histories today so I’m feeling like a Proper Historian 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Still looking for participants! Please share with your networks 😇

happy new academic planner day to all who celebrate x

SOBBING

it’s Friday! the sun is shining but it’s not unbearably hot!! I’ve booked a holiday!!!

I really have to force myself to do expense forms?? it’s the only thing on my to do list that I can’t be bothered to do and it’s THE ONLY ONE with a tangible incentive? I literally get money if I do it!! it doesn’t make sense!!

I'm looking for participants for my oral history on space and feminism! Please share with anybody you feel may have contacts and email me if you have any questions or would like to get involved: [email protected]

My gran sends me photos of her jigsaw puzzles whenever she finishes one and it makes me sob every time 😭 she’s the cutest

Passed my upgrade today! Had an Aperol in the sun to celebrate 🥳

travelling GWR instead of Cross Country genuinely feels like being in first class. it’s so bright? and relatively clean? the overhead luggage actually fits luggage? the seats were made by someone who has actually sat down before?

had a day trip to Cardiff today for the @swwdtp.bsky.social summer gathering ☀️

Spent my Saturday night at Wembley with Dua Lipa 😌

not mad about this being my office for the day

how do you tell your family who are not au fait with the university system that you are in fact not at school despite doing a phd bc my uncle asked me the other day how i could be back in cornwall because it's not half term

A quick intro as I'm fairly new here! I'm Sinead, I'm in the first year of my PhD at Reading, researching space and feminism during the British Women's Liberation Movement. I'm Cornish and I enjoy cooking, crafting and cats #skystorians #historiansofbluesky
