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

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 🥰🥰🥰🥰

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]

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
