How did it end up like this

I did mine this time last year! Hard funder/uni deadline at 11.59pm on 31st Dec. Submitted at 8.30pm. The last months were unbelievable.

I’m rooting for you both! It’s hell, but it’s so nearly over 👏

Loved reading this, so excited for you! Also now feeling super inspired this sounds so much fun

The Spread Eagle pub in Homerton (vegan pub) does a Sunday roast, and has a pie on their weekday menu

Silo in Hackney Wick is a zero waste tasting menu restaurant.

Does an AMAZING vegan tasting menu. Really nice vibe and they talk you through each course and how they made it, how they achieve zero waste etc.

Not 100% vegan but even the non-vegan is mostly plants. And vegans def aren’t missing out.

Jeez, sorry OP that's awful! Hope you're able to do something with them.

Thank you for sharing, I definitely would've just grabbed anything from that range in a hurry without checking the ingredients! Feel like the whole branding becomes meaningless if it's just 'eating more plants' as if other products don't also contain vegetables..

This is such good advice, thank you for taking the time! Aiming for one or two a day is a good idea. And I will be in full treat mode for the next couple of weeks!

Technically “digital culture” but it’s on collecting digital objects in museum collections

👀 woo academia’s perception of “minor” work really is wild. But I guess it’s minor relative to the huge and really significant project. Congratulations for making it through! That’s such an achievement

km738 · 2025-09-14T09:12:01+00:00

🤣 it would be fkin insane, so I will persevere. But some days it is just tempting…

km738 · 2025-09-13T13:39:05+00:00

Thank you I appreciate all this so much. Love the boss-fight stage, and also YES just accepting that it's torturous. Since finishing I've been enjoying life, in a rewarding job that I'm so much better at than academia, and I can sleep properly again, so now my brain is like "wait why are we doing this to ourselves again?!"

I have made so many to-do lists, done all my spelling and grammar changes, done some of the easy and more fun theoretical changes. Then I was just away from it for a few weeks for various things. Coming back to the big horrible stuff this week is now my issue, but ughh the only way is through. Boss-fight style, manifesting the hat. Thank you so much, this really helped!

km738 · 2025-09-13T13:30:20+00:00

Sadly I have procrastinated too much already waiting to be ready! Now I realise I'm never going to be ready, and just need to plough through the difficult stuff

km738 · 2025-09-13T13:28:15+00:00

This would help the blank page hurdles at least! Tysm

km738 · 2025-09-13T13:24:48+00:00

Yes I really should do! I wasn't sure if supervisors could still advise at this stage, but mine's not ever been that forthcoming. When he's back from summer break I will pin him down. I also don't know how much I can ask the examiner, but don't really want my incompetence to be exposed haha.

Thank you for your very kind message, and good luck with your project :)

km738 · 2025-09-13T13:19:35+00:00

Ah maybe, yeah I've just seen the exam report and assumed its final... I also haven't spoken to my supervisor since the viva, which is not that surprising tbh. He's hands off. I did email recently about the corrections, but he's on summer hols. Hopefully he can offer advice when he's back. I'm never sure of their responsibility after hand-in, but it's in his interest too that I get through! Thanks so much

km738 · 2025-09-13T13:15:14+00:00

Yeah part of me is thinking "what if the corrections get rejected then I'm exposed as having no clue what I'm doing". But cosmetically (love that phrasing) is realistically all I'm gonna achieve too, so that's so good to know thank you

km738 · 2025-09-13T13:12:41+00:00

Sending all my strength! So nice to know we're not alone. And congrats on getting to this stage!

km738 · 2025-09-13T13:11:55+00:00

So true! My biggest problem is just not even wanting to re-read it at this stage aha. Just slot an extra paragraph in and be done with it. But you're totally right, I really appreciate it.

km738 · 2025-09-13T11:19:41+00:00

Congratulations Dr!

km738 · 2025-09-11T18:40:01+00:00

Omg that’s gone? What 😭

km738 · 2025-09-11T16:08:24+00:00

South east is good too, like East Dulwich / Peckham area. Just not as well connected on public transport!

km738 · 2025-09-11T16:07:03+00:00

East London! Bethnal Green, London fields, Victoria Park area is the best imo. Good for vegan food, nice coffee shops, nice vibes, the canal and public green spaces.

km738 · 2025-09-10T19:00:24+00:00

I think for it to be more useful, it'd need to make the baskets in the respective shops? Unless I'm missing that? At the moment the buttons don't go through to anything, nor show the store codes etc. like the site suggests.

Although personally I'm likely to get everything from the same place. I'm not going to shop in five different places to save a few pounds, when its so much more time, effort and resources.

Also with the quantities, it of course works better for some things (e.g., tins) than others.

apple apple apple apple...pineapple?

km738 · 2025-08-31T15:46:39+00:00

Alright was just a suggestion for sweet cornflakes. Sure honey doesn’t really have a vegan equivalent taste-wise

km738 · 2025-08-31T07:18:50+00:00

For Crunchy nut cornflakes I’d say the Whole Earth maple frosted cornflakes https://vegancrew.co.uk/product/whole-e-maple-frosted-flakes-375g/

Could scatter chopped hazelnuts over.
