Radio presenter, poet, activist, ex-con. Oh c'mon it's not like nobody knows. Word was always going to get out eventually that I went on to become a radio presenter.
2025: moping, why are they back on my mind, I wonder what they're even up to
2026: when did their personality get so gross and when did they lose the attractiveness that made their behaviour excusable previously 🎉

I haven't posted on BlueSky for a while because I'm new here and self conscious that I therefore don't have very many followers. Cool news though I won like three more industry awards, including the Rose D'Or, which was very lovely indeed. I wore a turban and hugged Louis Theroux.

Now that Facebook knows I like clip on ponytails the targeted ads all seem to be behaving like I'm about to go bald at any moment, you know how like Tik tok can tell if you're autistic before you know? Is it like that? We demand to know what Facebook knows about idiopathic alopecia

Someone I know with BPD is currently splitting on me and whilst I know it's her illness and it comes from a place of self loathing, it's still not fucking nice to be told that the sight of me makes her sick to her stomach. That one really landed, that hurt.
