I have a first class UG degree & a MSc with distinction at @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social Due to COVID & surgery I have been unable to attend a physical graduation. In 2026 I aim to submit my PhD & attend my first graduation ceremony. However with the current climate I'm starting to doubt it 🎓

Well well well

Liverpool are absolutely dire to watch. Have gone from heavy metal football to choir football (no disrespect to choirs) #lfc

What a year 2025 has been on a social media front. Here's hoping for more in 2026. Thanks so much to you all 💗 #Goodbye2025 #happynewyear

As 2025 draws to a close, I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy new year in 2026 #happynewyear

What is Slot's plan? What is Liverpool's identity? What is Liverpool's style of play? Where are the youth opportunities? Can anyone genuinely tell me the answers to these questions, because I do not know... #lfc #slot

Merry Christmas to all my friends, followers and everyone on @bsky.app #merrychristmas

Social media offers great career perks, but trolling is a real downside. While nasty comments can still sting, I’ve learned to prioritize my peace. My top tip? Never hesitate to use the BLOCK button for your mental health. ❤️ #mentalhealthmatters
