Back on the tools today, one task at a time. Taking it slow. I wonder if that will affect my output. Am I going to be slower OR is it a mindset? We shall see. Right now I am inserting my work into a template for a conference. The paper is written for a longer word count journal paper, I hope to be able to spin it out and get two outputs from the same experiment. I'll also need to dive into python today to change graphs from line to bar charts. #SlowScholarship #PhDLife #ClimateScience

@ElizabethLeeCo @Fury I love #SlowlySlowlySlowly which I have used for describing the pace of my phd. #SlowScholarship is a whole movement! Books and everything! Slow is good.

Fast writing and instant communication has become built into our expectations of one another under #latecapitalist #academia. I find myself unable to keep up, which means I miss out on a lot of opportunities. But I’m grateful that my brain forces me into slowness because it makes my work better.
Fuck fast-food academia!
Fuck the neoliberal university!
Fuck ableist journals and departments!
Long live slow scholarship!

My current project is adjusting to not being in "thesis writing mode." I am being patient with myself. I did my paid work this morning. I did a few sewing repairs. I am dusting off my to-read pile. Taking my cues from the pup (snuggle, sleep, eat, play, walk). I wrote my thesis #SlowlySlowlySlowly so I am going to recover slowly. It has been four days since I've submitted so I suspect I might need a few more days to adjust.

Have been writing and editing and writing and editing but I am not going to make my first submission deadline for my thesis. Taking the tuition hit and aiming for July. Awful in terms of $ but emotionally, I felt so calm and relaxed as soon as I decided.

I have a full draft. I just need to polish the heck out of my discussion chapter. Not having to rush that is heavenly! But slow scholarship is expensive!

When you are trying to edit your LAST CHAPTER and you can't see through the tears because you are finally editing the last chapter!

I double checked submission dates for the term and realized that I will submit my thesis before going on my first overnight away from the kids ever.

To celebrate, I'm gonna run an #Ultra - training block starts today!

Time to grind!

#GetItDone

That feeling when you have finished the section you were writing but the puppy has you pinned on the couch for nap time so you just have to bask in puppy snuggles and be pleased. Your writing is done for the day. Pup says so.

So close. So FREAKING close. So close I'm crying. But trying not to wake the puppy. Slowly, slowly, slowly is gonna drag this thesis over the finish line.

After the double fun of flu & Christmas, both spent in a cloud of brain fog, it was good to get out to continue our delightfully erratic border walk. Rather confusingly, we started at border stone no. 1, the “other” first one, this time on the right bank. Double border stones, at the tripoint of the Canton de Vaud & Canton of Geneva (both 🇨🇭) touching France (🇫🇷). The Geneva one dates back to 1818, Treaty of Paris. #Geography #Borders #BorderWalk #SlowScholarship

@geography We meet some friends along the way: mysterious footprints (badger?), cows and lots of people on horseback. The border feels like it’s at the end of the world in the middle of rural landscapes in🇨🇭but across in 🇫🇷 it’s close to an industrial centre, power lines, a gas pipeline and roads. We end up near the cross-border nuclear research centre of CERN, and turn back. #BorderWalk #Geography #BorderStudies #Walking #SlowScholarship

I'm putting this thesis to bed this semester. Even #SlowScholarship gets there!

Building my works cited as I edit my literature review chapter. Slow. Tedious. So satisfying.
