It’s much harder to feel isolated when you are consistently shown how ok it is to share your sh*t, and as a world we can do this one small thing to hopefully make things a bit better πŸ’ͺ🏻

It’s #worldsuicidepreventionday πŸ’› Let’s keep showing up for each other, because against the isolation and fear created by suicide, our superpower as a community is to talk about our mental health & make it the most normal thing on the planet.

I always think about this image. I find something so beautiful about a quiet late night diner. A place to escape to for the weary and the sleepless. A place to process, to escape, to create.

I’m probably romanticising the idea, but does that really matter?

Ah, I love how this show just helps me escape into pure fantasy. Even the episodes I’m not as into I don’t hate.

It’s this beautiful diverse story that spans everything, and if you stop looking for everything you hate, you can really enjoy the ride

For 3 years I’ve been consistently harassed by a group of boys. It has destroyed me. I wondered about sharing this, but I talk about the power of connection in my work @helpucymru.bsky.social & believe sharing helps people.

I’m gonna need Paradise to get a second season because that was some of the best television I’ve seen in a long time. From the end of the first episode I knew this one was gonna keep me guessing

I don’t always get to events because of my chronic illness flares, so i felt really grateful that I was able to attend β€˜TEAM Celebrate’ last week and see the work brought to life by the creatives & young people we have worked with in the past year at TEAM.

This room was so full of love & support πŸ™πŸ»

β€˜Nuclear War: A Scenario’ is a highly intense and phenomenally detailed account of what would happen in the first hours of a nuclear war. Annie Jacobsen has created a terrifying, captivating & necessary book with a simple message - Nuclear bombs are dumb as f*ck

I don’t think I would have found this book without the encouragement of a good friend, but since picking it up for the first time, it’s truly felt like I’ve got to know myself better in many ways.

I’m so glad this memoir is out there, I think it will help a lot of people.

It can be hard to place feelings about a loss of somebody you don’t personally know, but the truth is whether through her her humour, talent or story, The Vivienne will have touched so many lives, and felt like a part of each persons story.

RIP Viv. We celebrate & remember you

I love a new years morning. It feels like the world is still asleep and I’m stealing time that shouldn’t be there

Honoured to have met the fantastic author, activist and artist @henryfraser.bsky.social in 2024 - his words really helped me to consider my ongoing chronic illness & having his art on my walls is a daily reminder to remember The Little Big Things.

3 years alcohol free today, and regardless of the challenges I’ve had recently or am going through now, this is something I will always be proud of. Feel more myself than ever since making a decision just for me πŸ™πŸ»β€οΈ

Wallace & Gromit was the warm hug I needed today. Anybody else want to enjoy tea and biscuits in the countryside while solving absurd mysteries? It just feels right #Christmas

If I’m honest, this season has been hard. I’ve lost my main source of income in the same week as my birthday & Christmas. I’m not sure what January brings, but I hope there is some peace

I hope you are looking after yourselves if this season is difficult
