A romance fraudster ruined my life – how I survived two years with a psychopath At first, Mike made Tamsin feel good about herself - and his love-bombing led her to leave her family and resign from her job. Soon she had lost her car, phone and all her money

Can't beat a bit of Biffalo Springfield in the morning

Or i can listen to your book. Sorry for the pointless Q!

@jess-davies.bsky.social
Hi! Can I ask your opinion on the causes of sexism please? I've been sincerely interested in the question since I did my thesis on women's football journalism, but I am always looking for new opinions to challenge mine.

No problem if you don't want to answer!

Gotta be Hannah Arendts I guess!

as a 5'5" autistic man, it genuinely meant a lot to me. No one should go through what you did, and unfortunately, people still go through that. It's inspiring to see someone come through the other side!

Anyway, sorry to trauma dump. Honestly, I can't thank you enough!

@jess-davies.bsky.social hi! I read your article in The Guardian and just want to say that what you said was profoundly affecting for me. Most men are ignorant of the harm they can do, and we need brave women like you to speak out.

I phrased that awfully, but I just needed to say : thank you!

@footballcliches.bsky.social hi adam! Just seen this line in the Newcastle Chronicle: . Who will be next '[x demonym] Messi', will we see 'Australian Lamal' in a few years??
