I’ve lost 20kg since March by eating less and moving around more, yet everyone automatically assumes I’m using the weight loss drugs. Fuck this quick-fix society, appreciate the effort.

When I binned off Twitter in 2023 I lost quite a large platform of genuine followers. I’m not one for a social media grift, but if you’re on Instagram (yes I know, another poisonous place for different reasons!) please do look me up. A girls gotta promote her book to pay her bills 🙃

Hello there! As an elite runner, I have decided to take part in Cancer Research UK’s ‘10 5k’s in October’ challenge. Please give, if you can, to this worthwhile cause; and laugh along as I destroy what’s left of my knees before Halloween. fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/robs-gi...

Has the Daily Mail declared a side yet?
Deeply disturbed to see today's 'Unite the Kingdom' march in London with 100,000+ attendees.
