I woke up this morning with a heavy feeling. I lay in bed and started to think about my childhood. My main memories of that time are being with my family, playing on camps and sites. But always being moved on. Being called names by random people. Having our trailers broken and attacked. Always hate.

There is a homeless person I have been helping, & he is struggling in this cold. I have paid for a room and some food for him for the night, but he is in desperate need of a new tent and some clothes. If I set up a Gofundme, would anyone be willing to donate and help clothe him?

My 3 year old daughter asked me "what is a Traveller?"
Before I could answer, my 5 year old son told her "its what we are. It's people who do good things and share their toys and talk like we do but sometimes people don't like us".
Sometimes a child can explain things better

You're a Traveller with a young family. Sites are full. Stopping places have been closed off. You're not welcome on caravan parks. You can't stay on the roadside. You can't keep driving forever. Your family needs rest. You see an empty carpark. You are exhausted. What would you do?

Did you know that the bricks, mounds, barriers, and boulders you see around fields have been put there by the local authorities to stop Traveller people and young families from having a place to rest?
These places are often ancient stopping places for Traveller and Romany people.

Did you know that there are many Traveller and Romani people who work across the UK in paid roles, including doctors, nurses, as firemen and the police, but are forced to hide their ethnicity due to racism and prejudice in the workplace?

Hi all.
I think I will now be spending more time over in this platform and leave the toxic world or TwitterX behind.
I have gotten to the point that TwitterX is now far too toxic and it's not a place I want to be.
I hope #bluesky is a better platform for us all.

Bluesky is starting to turn into the new Twitter/X.
The comments and replies from accounts who are using slurs and derogatory language is shocking.
Social media is bad for mental health.

🤡 like this get brave behind their screens and social media accounts.
Instead of listening and learning, they prefer to resort to racism as their brains don't have the capacity to understand that they are wrong.

Growing up being attacked and stereotyped as an Irish Traveller in the UK has moulded my mind into certain ways of thinking and behaving.
Whenever I am denied or treated differently than others, my first thought is, "They knew I am a Traveller." Growing up being othered, this is

Ask a Traveller how life could be improved for them and you'd be surprised how many things mentioned are more than likely what you would take for granted.
Adequate healthcare, waste disposal services, running water, working toilets, a place to wash. These are just a few examples

Not too long ago, a Traveller site was attacked by an individual who doused the entrance and set if on fire.
Despite reaching out to the police and even the local media, there was no reply.
The authorities said there is nothing they could do, and the papers blanked the family.
