Very revealing moment on Channel 5 earlier today.
Ann Widdecombe claimed people abuse disability benefits.
I asked several times for her evidence - she said she’d “heard it from people” when she was a minister.
My response? That right there is why our country is in a mess.

Feeling sad & a little bit lost. “Healing” from trauma is really fucking hard work.

Is anyone from Mad Twitter still in contact with Andrea (Annedraya)? She’s been in my thoughts recently & I was just wondering how she’s doing.

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.
Five survivors of Rotherham grooming gangs say they were also raped by police officers
Three former South Yorkshire police officers arrested in investigation into claims by the women, as young as 12 at the time

I love BlueSky. It has the same vibe that Twitter had all those years ago. I just really wish we could lock our accounts though. Part of me just thinks “fuck it, let’s just rant & say whatever you need to” but another part of me thinks that it would be safer with a locked account.

With woodland & pasture, bounded by hedges & small streams, it's always a pleasure to wander around the paths and tracks in the area surrounding Lower Failand (North Somerset). Three butterfly from Friday's walk - Brown Argus, Common Blue & Small Copper (25 July 2025) #ukbutterlfies #ukwildlife

I have never experienced abuse that made me stronger. It made me fearful, confused, dysregulated, afraid, detached, addicted, shameful, and apologetic to people who were hurting me. Surviving it did not make me strong. It made me tired.

Really can’t emphasise enough how amazing it is for me to be seeing so many 7-spot ladybirds. They’re my fave & for years it was rare for me to see one. But this year, in particular the past few weeks, I’ve seen LOADS.

Morning all. A bright sunny start to the day.
I spotted a visitor to the garden. I could have done with them making an appearance weeks ago, but better late than never 🌱

Remind yourself that it's not fair to expect yourself to be a mind reader-- or to punish yourself for not being able to perfectly predict (let alone "control") how anyone else reacts.
You may be super smart & intuitive-- but nobody reads minds or guesses correctly all the time.

My #Robin friend Henry this morning. He's in the middle of his summer moult & looking very scruffy. He spends most of his time in his hedge, coming out only for food. He's also very quiet. In a few weeks, he'll have new feathers & start singing again

We had a 7-spot ladybird in our house this morning. Eldest got her on his hand & we took her outside so that she could fly off. Seen LOADS this past few weeks, especially when compared to last year.

Trying to cope with the aftermath of CSA is so fucking exhausting. Over thirty years later & it’s still a fucking battle.
