My blurting of thoughts on #RachelMatthews’ new book, #NeverLookDesperate, wouldn’t fit on Instagram so for the first time in over a year, #ThePloddingHistorian returned to her #Blog to share her thoughts on this #GoodRead. I’m into Aussie #COVIDlit at the mo. Recommendations appreciated. #BlogPost

Today I re-x100-commenced my #LongAwaitedOftAvoidedThesis. With my #RheumatoidArthritis journey meaning full-time work not poss for most of year, taking opp to work toward, FINALLY, #ThesisSubmission on 6 Jan 2026, aka 20th anniversary of commencing the #BlastedThesis! #ThePloddingHistorian

Filmed this in my car this morn before work. Not lecturing. Just #ThePloddingHistorianHasAPondering on #history. Got to live our lives, but look after yourselves too. #AcademicLife #PhDlife #ThePloddingHistorian #COVIDisNotOver #COVID19Aus #HistoryEverRepeats
