It only took 4 years, flights to/from Canada, several train journeys (I write best on transport, okay?), a writing retreat in Langholmen Prison and 2 @britishacademy.bsky.social ECR Writing retreats - but WE DID IT!!!

Reviewers be kind please 🙏

Ignoring that it's almost 4years (to the date) that I submitted my PhD corrections... FINALLY finished and submitted my manuscript (one of my PhD thesis research questions) to Journals of Gerontology Series B!✨👏

Scottish people have voted against it for a DECADE, but the most recent unanimous rejection was overturned. There's a protest outside Scot Parl tomorrow (29th) 11am. ❌🎢💚🌍
