At that point of my PhD where I’m reading through stuff that I wrote 3 years ago and making notes like “what does that even mean???” #PhdChat
This week over 100,000 ALCS members will receive their share of £34m. Let's celebrate the value of human creativity, something that isn't going anywhere 💡📖🌳
This was a great experience. I had a great time

Hey! Does anyone have a short video about local history that's around 6ish minutes long that is suitable for year 8/9. I usually use one from the National Archives but I'm a bit bored of that one now
Have all my history peeps moved over here permanently?? #PhDChat #WomensHistory
It’s bank holiday weekend people. How many words can I write?? #PhDChat
It's writing day/week..... I need around 2500 words by the end of the week. I need spotters/checkers/accountability peeps. Who can volunteer #PhDChat #WritingUp
Sproglet has started collecting pin badges.... so I want to know 1. What did you collect as a child and 2. where can I find unusual pin badges that are suitable for a 7 year old? #Collectors #PinBadges #SprogletWorld
I've just spent an hour looking for a newspaper article that I'd actually got the transcript printed out and sitting right in front of me. How's your day going? #WritingUp #LocalHistory #PhDChat
One day I'm going to make a note of rabbit holes I go down. Today's has taken me from Kingsthorpe in Northampton to Bethnal Green and lead me to reading about the Bethnal Green Tube Disaster. Absolutely nothing to do with my research but that's where I ended up #WritingUp
Writing your PhD thesis is a weird experience. Yesterday, spent all day sat at my desk, wrote 60 words. Today come in from work late because the bus was late. Have managed to write 500 in an hour #PhDChat
AAARRRRGHHHHHHHH Writing is just not writing today.. Words are not coming ARRGHHHHHHHHHHHH #PhDChat

Managed to get a bit of work done today (which is rare for half term). Only a couple of hundred words but did get some referencing sorted. I think that's an achievement
Do any other historians get frustrated when an number of articles quote the same stats over and over but never say where the information came from?? #LocalHistory #WritingUp #PhDChat #Historians
My bus turns up late every day. Not massively. About 5 minutes and you can literally set your watch by it (don’t know why they don’t retime it). A woman at the bus stop today was moaning that it hadn’t turned up. I told her it’s always late. She was still moaning when it turned up at the time I said
Historian peeps!! Can you recommend any local history websites that have free to access resources. I'm creating a list for a group of year 9s so needs to have no subscription. #LocalHistory
Is it safe over here? The other place is giving me a headache
@sophiemhistory.bsky.social You'll know. How do you reference a will for footnotes using MHRA
This is the year I plan to finish my PhD. When I say plan, I mean my deadline is this year!! Plans can change though #PhDChat
Having moved a few things around this week I had three whole days to write!! How many words do we think i will actually write #PhDChat
Ooof I wasn’t prepared for Cynthia Erivo singing I’m Not That Girl 😭😭😭😭😭 #Wicked
I’ve been moaning all day that I’ve had one nostril blocked with this cold but not enough to blow it. The seal has now been broken and I’d be grateful if my nose would stop running lol
Where are all the Northampton Town fans?? #NTFC #ProudToBe #Teyn #ShoeArmy
