I’ve been living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) since I was 7 years old but I haven’t ever been involved in the community or advocacy side of things until recently when I had surgery. Today is World IBD Day, a day to unite people around the world who have ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s Disease (both forms of IBD). One of the… View Post
My 5 Rules For Casual Sex
Recently I was on the radio. Amber Davies, the winner of Love Island, was guest presenting 5Live. She was asking the question “has sex become too casual?” and I was there to weigh in my opinion. Amber’s makeup artist was also there sharing her experience of saving herself until marriage in her current relationship. I didn’t really understand Amber’s moral… View Post
What Happened in April
I feel like starting monthly round up posts about events that happened and thoughts/feelings from the month. We’ll see how this goes. This is what happened in April. Waiting waiting waiting… April was the month of waiting and frustration. The flat I bought was supposed to be ready at the end of March. I was all excited and ready to… View Post
A Rant About Skin Care
I’ve had thoughts like this come and go in the past. A little nudge in my brain saying that this is fucked up but then it passes. But recently, I’ve been thinking about it a lot more and I’m angry. This is a rant. This is not a journalistic piece. If you want to hit me with facts, stats and… View Post
Admitting that my mental health is not okay
I wrote this a few weeks ago when I was having a really bad day mentally. I still want to post it but I need to say beforehand that I’ve felt a lot better recently. Maybe because I’ve been a bit busier and finally booked a holiday! But these feelings are still real and some days I feel them more… View Post
I got a new website
Hello, welcome! I got a new website! So it’s been a bit depressing looking at my website/blog because the last post I wrote was about how my ulcerative colitis has flared up again and how I didn’t know what was going to happen next. Well I know what happened next and it wasn’t pleasant at all. So constantly seeing it… View Post

![Dear Learning 🤓 • #dearjune • [PHOTO FROM ONE YEAR AGO!]
This time last year I’d just had my second major surgery in the space of 5 months.
The past 18 months for me have been a time of serious learning - about myself, my body & my priorities & capabilities. But also about disability, the disabled community and spoons 🥄
I’m so grateful for the space and time people have given me to show me the ropes & teach me things I, unfortunately, had been oblivious to before as an able-bodied person.
Thank you so much for being a continued part of my education. I’m so glad I’ve never stopped learning.
What have you learned/been learning since leaving formal education?
