Kirstie is a nurse working in mental health, and worked or still works, for CAMHS. I have had no previous contact with her, I have never met her or spoken to her. She, and my ex, have not seen or spoken to my son in over two years, through his own choice.

My latest Substack post serenastampfer.substack.com/p/a-letter-t... received a comment a few days ago, from "Kirstie", who identified herself as the partner of my ex, father of my child, and the man who abused me.

One of my favourite talks was from @elpinchbeck.bsky.social, Chief Executive of the UK Climate Change Committee. She was funny, relatable, smart, and passionate. It's so good to know that someone like her is talking to the government about climate change 🙌🏻💚🌍

It was presented by Natasha Kaplinsky, and opened with an introduction by @gjuk.bsky.social, founder of @octopus.energy. He seemed very genuine and down to earth, really likeable.

On Monday, I was incredibly lucky to have attended @octopus.energy #energytechsummit as one of 500 customer ballot winners. It was such a good day, and really inspiring. I will put my photos and videos in this thread.

Last Saturday, I was extremely happy to go to a talk by the wonderful @drproudman.bsky.social, hosted by @cobrien.bsky.social, as a part of @yorkfestofideas.bsky.social. I've followed Dr Proudman's work for several years now, and was glad to grab a copy of her new book, 'He Said, She Said' too.

There is a small table in front of them, with copies of Dr Proudman's book, and a jug and glasses of water.

I wasn't actually going to publish this today, but then he emailed me, criticising the fact that I was talking about domestic abuse online. So thanks, you pushed my timeline forward!

It was a good post day today! I received my Blu-ray of 'How To Kill Monsters', an indie horror film by Dark Rift Films that I backed on Kickstarter a few years ago. They are based in #York too, so I am supporting local talent!

#ukhorror #indiehorror #darkriftfilms #howtokillmonsters
A package wrapped in black tissue paper, sealed with a round black and white sticker with "Dark Rift Horror" on it, and tentacles below the text. A small round black pin badge is on the package with the text "How To Kill Monsters" in white, and "Backer" in green. The opened package, containing a Blu-ray of the film 'How To Kill Monsters', and a black card with white text on it, with a message thanking backers of the film. The Blu-ray opened up, showing the disc on the right, and on the left, an illustration of a heroic looking dark haired white woman dressed in yellow, brandishing a chainsaw, with a white man in a white shirt, black waistcoat, and black tie, crouching next to her. Their clothes are both ripped and ragged, and they appear to be on top of a pile of monsters. On top of the Blu-ray box is a business card sized card in black, with a demonic looking symbol in white and red, and white text saying "Quam Occidere Monstra", with red symbols under it.

Annoyingly I can't find a later screenshot; it went into the 1000s I think. This was not long after I first tweeted it.
