Eight Purchases I Recommend as Someone Living with Chronic Illness
Living with chronic illnesses means that even the most ordinary parts of daily life can feel overwhelming. I live with fibromyalgia (often shortened to fibro) and endometriosis (endo), and between them, they bring a whole host of symptoms. Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition that causes widespread pain, fatigue, sleep problems, and cognitive issues (sometimes called “fibro fog”). Endometriosis is where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows in other places, often leading to severe pelvic pain, heavy periods, bloating, and sometimes even issues with fertility. Together, they mean that my body feels unpredictable and exhausting to manage.

Loving a Survivor: What You Need to Know if Your Partner Was a Victim of Child Abuse
Loving someone who has survived child abuse is not easy, but it can be one of the most meaningful and transformative experiences of your life. Survivors often carry invisible wounds—patterns of self-protection, deep-rooted fears, and learned behaviors that helped them survive an unsafe childhood. Entering into a relationship with them means you aren’t just loving the person in front of you—you’re also helping them unlearn years of pain, mistrust, and survival strategies.

Yet, anyone who has explored sexuality outside of that traditional model knows there’s a whole universe of pleasure waiting to be discovered. Lesbian couples, in particular, have long mastered a style of sexual connection that prioritizes mutual satisfaction, playfulness, and shared control—lessons straight couples could take to heart.

Confessions of a Sex Worker: The Callers That Terrified Me. Content Warning.
I’ve shared before that I used to work in phone sex, but there are experiences I haven’t spoken about—moments that still make me shiver when I think of them. Among all the callers I encountered, two men stand out. Not because they were kinky or demanding, but because they were genuinely frightening. Their fantasies weren’t playful. They weren’t a little edgy. They were dark, precise, and terrifyingly believable.

Confessions of a Sex Worker: When Fantasies Cross the Line. Content Warning.
Let’s start with the facts. I haven’t been a sex worker for five years. In that time, the industry may have changed—but I suspect the darker corners of it are still very much the same. I never personally took part in the extreme role play I’m about to describe, but I saw it happening all around me, and I can’t unsee it.

Confessions of a Phone Sex Worker: The Time Aliens Got Involved. Content Warning.
I work on a phone sex line. I’ve been doing it on and off for the past three years. And no, it’s not always about blow jobs or threesomes—though sometimes it is. Most calls I get fall into three categories: loneliness, unusual kinks, and highly specific fantasies that porn simply can’t provide.

5 Life Lessons I Learned Watching Yellowstone
When I first started watching Yellowstone, I thought I was signing up for a series about cowboys, cattle, and sweeping views of Montana.

Why Are 42,000 Teachers Leaving England’s Classrooms?
England has lost 42,000 teachers in the last year alone. That’s a staggering number — roughly equivalent to entire towns losing their entire teaching workforce. Many headlines blame low pay, and while that’s part of the picture, it’s far from the whole story.

Why I Wait All Year for Autumn to Arrive
Every year, I find myself waiting. Not in an impatient, tapping-my-foot sort of way, but in the quiet anticipation you feel before your favourite song reaches its chorus. It’s a kind of longing that builds slowly through the blistering brightness of summer. I’m counting down—not to birthdays or holidays—but to that moment when the first leaf turns orange and drifts to the ground.
