Image by Nina Cosford I started writing this on Twitter whilst sat on the toilet but realised I’m going to need more than 280 characters. I have a chronic illness called Ulcerative Colitis. I’ve spoken about it before online and I made this video about it 6 months ago. You can watch that to find out more about it in… View Post
Recently I wrote a blog post about how sometimes I feel like with growing up I’m getting boring and I don’t go out anymore. Whilst I definitely have a lot more nights in than I used to I still have this constant craving to be doing something. And it’s especially heightened by living in London. There is so much to do… View Post
First of all, a big congratulations to everyone who completed NaNoWriMo! Seriously, well fucking done. So you may remember at the beginning of the month I wrote a blog post all about challenging yourself and so I tried to write 50,000 words of a novel in one month. Well, spoiler alert I “failed”. But I don’t feel like a failure… View Post
What says love more than getting someone a sex toy for Christmas? Most of my friends own just one sex toy and it was probably me who gave it to them. I get sent a lot of sex toys.

I’ve mentioned it before and I’ll mention it again. I love making plans. So here’s my 5 year plan. In my Myers-Briggs personality test one of the categories is if you’re intuitive (N) or sensing (S). Ns are big picture-orientated, they look for meaning. Ss are more detail-orientated, they look for facts. This is the most general way I know… View Post
Video games have never been my thing. When I was a kid I never had a game console so I just didn’t get into them. Occasionally I would play when I was round at friend’s houses who had a PlayStation or Nintendo. I remember playing a Mario game where you jump into paintings that I really liked.

![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?
