I’m officially a TikTok girlie these days, but thinking I should try get into Bluesky… so, in the words of Taylor Swift, this is me trying: had a great day exploring west London yesterday with a trip to the Design Museum to see the Tim Burton exhibition 🤩 such a nice way to end study week!

Do I know anyone / does anyone know someone who has a History BA from a post-92 university who works in marketing/comms/PR and would be willing to chat with me / discuss careers with 3rd year History undergraduates? If working in a history adjacent field that would be great, but not essential.

Fab talk by John Tolan last night at QMUL. So interesting to hear about the Qur’an in European culture in the medieval and early modern period. Lots of wonderful publications related to the project already out and forthcoming!
Bonus: feeling super energised to crack on with some research things!

I posted a jokey Instagram, and appear to have forgotten to do the more serious academic post:

Using post 3 to ask the bsky universe (because I have a waiting list 😂😂): how long does a person typically wait for an invite code? Maybe if I post more it will happen quicker 🤔… If so, buckle up for half baked opinions on Taylor Swift, Bake Off and Strictly
