Independent academic now in the charity sector; big dreams of turning my thesis into a book about women, history-writing and the French resistance, some day…
Mainly thinking about food and the random pets I befriend while wandering around.

I’m off to speak at the @asmcf.bsky.social / SSFH postgraduate study day at Cambridge tomorrow about careers outside academia. Really looking forward to it and glad to be invited, especially as I helped organise it for a couple of years in my PhD days!

something soooooo humiliating about being stressed about a project when you're a writer, oh you're scared of the words? literally all you have to do is go tippy tappy on the computer but the anxiety is keeping you up at night? you're panicking at the thought of opening a document? get a grip

Made it through the talk and drinks without telling anyone I knew Josephine Baker was in the resistance ages ago because it was a subplot in gossip girl. A bit proud but also feel like I should have told *someone*. So I’m telling the internet.
It’s slight terrifying to be attending an academic event as someone no longer properly in the sector. Hoping to see some friendly faces and French history pals this evening at Hanna Diamond’s talk about Josephine Baker

People share this & other stories about coercive, abusive & violent men - horrified, saying stuff like Believe Women.
But when it happens in their own industry/friendship group they do not believe the victim. They don’t change anything, they certainly don’t speak out. And so it keeps happening.

I knew this piece about Neil Gaiman was in the works, and still, I felt sick reading it.

New recipe 2/52 - slow-cooked garlic and herb lamb shanks with potatoes and tenderstem broccoli.
This was only the second time I’ve cooked lamb in my life, but it turned out so well and I’ll definitely be making it again. Delicious dinner (although served later than usual…)

My 2023 New Year's resolution of a new recipe a week brought me such joy that it needs a comeback.
1/52: braised sweet soy pork belly with jasmine rice and garlicky green beans.
This was truly delicious and super easy - if you can ignore the scent of deliciousness wafting from the kitchen…
