Just three more boxes of blood thinners to go, 10 needles in each box, two injections each day. 15 days to go.
Can't tell you how much I loath having to give myself these shots but proud to have overcome my fear of needles.

Really important to promote this app as widely as possible so that we can help them collect data about hate crime and hopefully use it to identify and prevent further incidents.

Don't give up hope - from my experiences I know there are plenty of good people around the world working to make things better.

I don't wear items to tell you who's in my bed.
I wear so the family across the street knows they are safe.
So the couple in the restaurant know they aren't alone.
So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won't judge.
I wear them because some people want to make them hide.

Morning folks - I'm looking forward to being able to go outside and have my hair cut.
Feels like I am going to look like Grizzly Adams by the time that happens.
Without the blond highlights of course.

I worked at Lambeth Council for 3 years between 2013-2016.
Sadly they deleted my role during the restructure of the council in 2016 and much of the work I was doing to tackle hate crime in the borough was lost.
I loved working in Lambeth, still organise the anniversary event for Brixton 17th April
Photo of Mark Healey wearing a yellow hoodie, standing in front of a stall displaying hate crime information. I was touring Lambeth's libraries as part of activities around LGBT+ History Month - raising awareness of Homophobic and Transphobic hate crime.
10 years ago, out with the Lambeth Hate Crime Stall (which I created) whilst working for Lambeth Council as their Hate Crime Prevention Coordinator.
I loved touring Lambeth's Libraries with the stall, talking to people about their experiences and encouraging them to seek advice and support.
Pleased my Bluesky profiles have been unblocked by the moderation team.
Now I can start encouraging our followers on X to move over and support us here.
@nationalhcaw.bsky.social for national hate crime work.
@londonhcblog.bsky.social is focussed on London
@rainbowboroughs.bsky.social is LGBT+
Friends Mark and Glyn smiling towards the camera.
Lovely for @llanfrancisco.bsky.social to pop in a see me today, we had a great catch up and I appreciated his company.
Thanks for the books to read and the goodies to eat.

My feet wearing two non-matching socks. Symbolising me and my partner who are currently separated from each other as he recovers from a stroke and I am unable to visit him.
My feet - with my sexy new black boot on to protect my healing left leg, whilst wearing a standard trainer on my other foot.
Yay the odd socks are finally back.
For those that don't know my partner N had a stroke the week before our 5th anniversary back in September.
Like a pair of socks we have been separated from each other - so until we are reunited I am wearing odd socks and wishing him better.

Photo of me relaxing after shower.
Photo of legs, left leg is bruised and swollen around the foot and ankle.
The leg cover I had to wear when I was showering to keep my caste dry, looks a bit like a huge condom.
Good to finally get the cast off & be able to shower without what looks like a leg condom.
Ankle swollen, bruised & the skin is a bit dry so I need to pamper it until it heals.
Want to get a hair and beard trim but will need to wait a few more weeks until I can safely venture out.

Will regularly review new followers - only follow people I know, admire or support.
Will remove, report and block those who share or promote hateful content.
I seek connections with people who want to make the world a better place, live and let live, and be at peace and harmony with each other.
I'm in a loving relationship with a wonderful guy - who had a stroke Sept 24.
It has turned our lives upside down but I'm living in hope of happier times ahead of us
Have become a bit isolated so need to start reconnecting with people in 2025.
