As a postc*lonial scholar, it's going to be quite difficult to use this site with dec*lonization being a banned word. I will be moving over to 🟦🌫 where my username is the same. Hope to see you all there, and if you want an access code pls DM me. I have a few to spare.

If you are able, I strongly recommend catching @Macbeth_theshow. I'm not just recommending it because this is my favorite Shakespeare play, but simply, it is the best theatre I have ever experienced. The set, lighting, and sounds leave you shaking for hours after, every cast...1/

Member is unforgettable. I cannot even pick a standout - every single person is amazing, from the MacBeths to the witches to Seyton, everyone. The setting/adaptation hits hard with our times. It's truly a once in a lifetime experience and I'm glad I already managed to watch. /end

Ah, so today is Sun Yat-sen's birthday. This reminds me of the excitement of discovering his signature in an archival document (it was one of my first archival visits ever). 此研究者之樂也。

PhDs: your dissertation topic is less relevant to finding a role outisde of academia than your *skills*.
Here's a 🧵 on how to translate skills you already have into corpspeak using examples from my own PhD work experience:

A new PhD started today. She asked for general advice for the first few months. This was my advice:
1. Don’t work evenings or weekends
2. Don’t aim to prove yourself (to me), I’m already convinced of your capacities
3. Go for a walk when things dazzle you (1/3)

My first stop on this research trip is the headquarters of the National Archives of Malaysia @myarkibnegara. Today's highlight? A passive aggressive dispute over oxen in 1947. In official language, one poor oxen was "destroyed by tigers." Thanks to @SWWDTP for funding! #phdlife
