Choose or Die
You know what I am sick and tired to death of? Politics. I know. I know. Politics are actually our whole lives. We are all affected by things that happen with our government and voting system. I'm not new.

The Lost Art of Listening
Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone at home? — Comfortably Numb, Pink Floyd Pink Floyd's lyrics from Comfortably Numb echo a familiar frustration: Do you ever feel like people are not really listening when you talk to them, whether in person or on the phone? Plenty of times, I have been chatting on the phone with one of my children or a friend. They had called me, and after we shared a little tidbit of back-and-forth conversation, I am met with complete and utter silence.

Oh you little sociopath, you!
What is the definition of a sociopath? A sociopath is a term used to describe a person with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), a mental health condition characterized by a persistent pattern of disregard for others, lack of empathy, deceitfulness, and impulsive or irresponsible behavior. Sociopaths often violate social norms, exploit others, and struggle with maintaining stable relationships, though they can sometimes be superficially charming or manipulative.

Insecurity of Others
There is a unique, distinct and deeply exhausting frustration that comes with working hard, keeping to oneself, and striving for personal growth; only to be met with resistance, negativity, and sabotage from insecure people who refuse to put in the same effort. It is one thing to struggle against one’s own limitations and challenges; it’s another entirely to find that the biggest obstacles come not from the work itself but from others who resent that work. Instead of focusing on their own progress, these individuals seem determined to tear others down, feeding off jealousy, insecurity, and a deep-seated fear of inadequacy.

Thank you.
A friend of mine got the words 'thank you' tattooed after they experienced something awful and were caught by their community. I haven't experienced anything as bad as that truly awful event, but I have been caught, and I do want to say thank you.

Stop Killing Us.. Content Warning.
In 2024, approximately 350 trans and gender non-conforming people were murdered in hate attacks around the world. Nine out of ten of these attacks were on trans people of colour: specifically Black trans women. And each year, the figures increase. As of February 20, 2025, eight new anti-trans bills have been passed in seven states. It's aggravating, isn't it? In 2024, there were nearly five hundred mass shootings in the United States. People are dying because they cannot afford medications that will save their lives. Climate change is heating up the Arctic twice as fast as anywhere else on Earth. Yet, all anyone cares about is taking away the rights of trans people.

The Incel Thing
Have you noticed that articles about incels seem to be written by extremely angry members of all sexes? This spewing of raging resentment, combined with a complete unwillingness to acknowledge the other side at all has become tedious, and frankly embarrassing, to the concept of human intelligence.

The "Power" of Love
“Love is a choice you make every day” “Love” is a word that evokes many different emotions. For some, it is romance and fairytales, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. For others, it is a word that ‘hurts’, bringing pain to their hearts whenever they hear the word “Love”. One thing that is certain about “Love” is that it is a very powerful emotion, having the ability to shape our lives in every possible way.

The Healing Power of Ugly
Once upon a time, a while back, I saw a post on Tumblr that to my irritation I can't find again - it said something to the effect of "a woman is a mammal that sweats and grunts" and it seemed to open a pathway in my brain that hasn't closed since. Maybe its the fact that I am down with glandular fever (or 'mono' as my American friends may know it), but that post has been front and centre for the past few days. You see, friends and neighbours, it is hard to feel pretty when you are sick like this. Impossible to feel sexy... And according to media and romantasy we are (woman more so than men, but lets be real all of us) are required to somehow be alluring in one way or another at all times in order to be... well, what exactly? Worthy?

Misaligned Expectations
Post-COVID there feels as though there is a level of expectation that sits at the heart of the nation (England). Every time I walk down the road I need to move out of the way of other human beings as they are more important than me. Many of my 10,000 steps a day are now spent weaving in and out of crowds, whereas before COVID there was courtesy.
