I am so so done with X. I'll be here from now on. Will really miss the spam, misogyny, constant porn bots and hateful conversations. 👀
I wanted to share a completed project that I've been working on with young people in Dudley.
May I please introduce you to 'The Hate You Take' researched, written, storyboarded and artwork all designed by 14 year old Pupils.

Watching Love and Loss: The pandemic 5 years on, on the BBC, and it explains how 6 in 10 of the people who died during COVID were disabled..
This absolutely crushed and hurt my soul.
My thoughts go out to those families whom lost loved, and dear family members.
