Definitely haven’t been using this app enough! The perfect Sunday morning - what isn’t captured is the actual chaos of mum life 😂 Also this book is fabulous, can’t put it down #booksky - it’s always a good sign if a book is coming everywhere with me so I can squeeze in a few pages

4/5 stars⭐️ What a lovely read! This is the second Emily Henry book that I have read and it did not disappoint. A really sweet, low cortisol read which I thoroughly enjoyed. The perfect Rom-Com to get lost in for a few hours #booksky

So proud of myself - this is the longest book I have ever read (it’s 1,500 pages) And I loved it!! 4/5 stars, an engaging and very readable book! Lost a star as there were chapters that felt quite ramble and unnecessary and ALL the drama happened in the last 300 pages?! #booksky

Right #booksky - who has read this? If you have, please let me know because I have thoughts! Particularly around the fact that I read 1,300 pages of chilled, low cortisol story and then the action comes in the last 200 pages?!

I’ve fully come off Twitter/X now, recent events were the final straw, so going to invest more time on this platform! Hi everyone 👋

Now I’m aware that 2026 is in a few days, but I have made a short list of things I want to do before the end of 2025 - and making my own bread is one of them 🍞 Wish me luck 🍀

I’m speaking at the 2025 @bsacp.org.uk Conference on abortion experiences of UK servicewomen. Privileged to share our findings and explore how policy, practice & culture can better support those who serve. Let me know if you are planning to attend! #BSACP2025 #MilitaryHealth #Medsky

New publication alert 🚨 This paper examines what is currently published on abortion in servicewomen worldwide and highlights a gap in the literature. It also provides guidance on how to conduct research on this topic to improve understanding #medsky it’s OA so check it out!

Book 6 of 2025 ☑️ Finished this lovely little summer read today 4/5 ⭐️ Such a sweet storyline of love and friendship, loved how it jumped from the past to the present with such ease Would 100% recommend if you like a book you can just switch off from the world with #booksky

Got this lovely reminder on my coffee cup this weekend❤️ Going into this week remembering how important the little things are, and continuing to be grateful for all the little “wins” ✨

It’s not secret that I am normally on the go 24/7 but life has been much slower than I’m used to lately☀️ Trying to romanticise the small things in life like coffees, sunny walks and reading books that bring me joy✨

Spotted this whilst having a roam around the library - such a great initiative to help to combat period poverty in the UK, but sad that it is needed. We need to ensure everyone who menstruates has access to the products they need, and facilitate their choice of method

On the topic of books, I have definitely experienced a dismissal of romance books (in bookshops & bookclubs) as “easyreads” or not important, despite some of our classics being rom "Do we see broadsheets reviewing romance books? No. And they are just as important literary books” Thoughts #booksky?

My fondest childhood memory was sitting in the sun on school summer holidays getting lost in a book☀️ So when the sun is out, I’m recreating my “happy place” #booksky

Finished this lovely read during the week 4.5/5 stars ⭐️ I’m obsessed with Beth O’Leary books, and this one did not disappoint! Have to say though, “The no show” is still my favourite- still am yet to get over that one 😍😭 #booksky

My #booksky for 2025 has been terrible (and I could list 100 excuses but I’m not going to) Book 3/25 ✅ I really loved this book, would rate it 4.5/5 stars - it’s so beautifully written with a captivating story line, can definitely see why it won the women’s prize!

What lovely news to start the Easter weekend ❤️ Sadly I couldn’t be there to collect my award in person, but so honoured to be recognised by @aberdeenunilib.bsky.social where I studied both my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees! #medsky

Oh #booksky, how I have neglected posting - I have just finished this incredibly insightful book on the transition into motherhood and I would highly recommend it! Hopefully my next book will not take me as long to read! Has anyone else read this?

I've been terrible for using Bluesky but going to make an effort! #Medsky - check out our latest paper in #BMJSRH: "Experiences of abortion in the UK Armed Forces: a cross-sectional survey." Give it a read and share your thoughts with us! @antonywillman.bsky.social @drkateking.bsky.social

Doing some Sunday admin whilst listening to this inspiring episode of BFBS Creative’s Culture Colonel podcast! Toni, a RN officer, talks about reframing being a “yes” or “no” person to being a “why” person which I loved, & reminded me of the quote “Your network is your net worth”

Just watched this lovely little film, This time next year, on Netflix - it’s such an easy rom com watch if you needed some post holiday nostalgia ❤️

I just shared my favourite quote over on my podcast's Instagram, and thought I would also share it here! In 2025, take one small step everyday towards your dreams, and you will be 365 steps closer than you were in 2024! #newyear

Happy new year from me and the crochet vulva!! ✨ Here’s to another year of spreading education on women’s health! Always happy to help where I can ❤️ (And hopefully acquiring a few more crocheted anatomical parts!)

Christmas shopping for other people, and just finding more books for my TBR list #Booksky

Victoria Kinkaid @vkinkaid11.bsky.social · 19/12/2024
Working on the week before Christmas is very satisfying - barely any meetings and a chance to tie up projects and get through that "to do" list that has built up since summer leave - anyone else agree?!

Not sure if this app has a #Booksky but my Goodreads "wrapped" is just in, and I successfully completed my 2024 reading challenge - 24 books read in 2024! #Books #ReadingChallenge

I've set myself a task of learning something new everyday - today's new learning? How to build GPTs - really fascinating how we can harness the immense power of AI to make (some) tasks more efficient!
