hi bluesky!!
I'm Katie, a theatre academic based in Scotland who mostly chats about women's leadership in the cultural sector. When I'm not here, you'll usually find me eating or reading. Sometimes simultaneously. Mostly simultaneously.

Anybody have access to Fiona Dodd's "Women leaders in the creative industries: a baseline study" that they would be able to share with me? None of my institutional logins are letting me access it :(

last week of teaching for the semester and for who knows how long for me. Been thinking of how much precarity robs you of a good ending. Last March I did big goodbyes to students then felt silly because I ended up back at the job in January. Not really sure how to talk about it all this time round.

This is maybe that bit too niche but is anyone writing anything about the representation of Christianity in Coronation Street recently?! It's mad how regularly it's talked about & how genuinely good the representation has been.
And yes, I'm outing myself as a Corrie viewer.

FRIENDS WHO WRITE: Thinking of starting an online writing group for accountability. Friday mornings 9:30-12:30. Drop in or stay for the whole time. Likely follow the 50/10 pomodoro format. Open to anyone writing anything. Drop me a DM if you'd be keen!

Weird point in the semester for precarious academics where you are both absolutely snowed under and desperate for the semester to end but also know that as soon as it does you’re out of a job.

Ah yes, that faith based on *checks notes* God sending his own son to die for our sins definitely tells us to prioritise our own children over strangers. You’ve nailed it, Vance.

I just think that in the year 2025 Microsoft Word should have options for highlighting that aren't neon or so dark you can't see what's written underneath. Give us some pastels, @mscommunity.bsky.social I'm begging.

You will hear many calls for unity.
Philippians 2 tells us how true unity happens: by all parties giving up selfish ambition and putting each others' interests before their own. By mutual submission.
If someone calls for you to unify with them but is not willing to do this, is it unity they want?

Boosting this again after some super interesting conversations this week. Great to tap into existing work and imagine new possibilities. If you’d be interested in a chat let me know!
In the (very) early, tentative days of thinking about a project that considers the relationship between the creative arts and faith, esp. in relation to the 'decline' of Christianity in Scotland. If you're a creative who might be interested in a chat about this, my DMs are open,

When did everyone stop using headphones? Why am I currently listening to two separate people scroll through tiktok on this train while another has an entire conversation, inexplicably, on speakerphone?

This semester I'm precariously employed simultaneously at three unis. It is still not a full time role or a liveable wage. It's only possible because I can live with my very understanding parents. I love my job, I think teaching is a total privilege. But I am so, so tired of living like this.

I have enormous sympathy for people losing their homes in LA. Along with that, I can’t help but think of all the Gazan’s whose well-loved homes have been destroyed over the last year, and the difference in response from some sections of the world.

Out of office(s) on. Sending love to everyone else who lives with the uncertainty of short term contracts and the frustration of not being able to make long term plans. Feels particularly rough at this time of year!
I'm away to ask Santa for a permanent, full time job with a liveable salary ✌️
