Life is a fast mover, and there's always something new around the corner, whether we expect it or not. Sometimes, it's overwhelming; sometimes, it's exciting; sometimes, it's both. My life has come with a mix of all three, in recent times especially, and those are things I wanted to share with you. PersonalThe first thing… Continue reading A little life update!

Pride(s) 2019
Last year, I went to Pride for the first time. Unfortunately, my first event was Pride In London, which I have since denounced as a result of the TERF infiltration in 2018. Another reason it's been avoided by me is the lack of accessibility partnered with busy crowds (making access harder, but also inducing anxiety).… Continue reading Pride(s) 2019
The Medical Mandate
I want to post this not as a justification, but as a note to those in the same boat as me that you're not alone and we should be proud of all we've been done and are doing into the future.

It’s time to May attention: A month of awareness
This month, I'm asking you to be aware of the chronic and mental health conditions I battle with, and educate yourself.
The Side Of Chronic Illness You Don’t See On The Internet
I vouched at the beginning of last year that i'd be transparent on mental health, disability, recovery, and even started an instagram account to log all of that.

This week is Eating Disorder Awareness Week 2019, and i'm already thinking about ways we can choose to make the internet more truly aware. Awareness is a grand but scary thing, but we have got to be careful, so, this week, have awareness of your impact and others'.

Everyday discrimination.
(1/2) As a disabled person, you get a lot of people knowing little about you casting judgement. Sometimes this is as you're merely going about your day, and sometimes it's facing accessibility issues; unfortunately, yes, they are intertwined more than one would hope, but today I'm here to speak of the former. I'm using this… Continue reading Everyday discrimination.
