My new abnormal. It’s been so long since I posted on here I assume nobody will be checking in. Still, I think I’ll try to get a few things out every once in a while to ease some of the pressure that’s been building up these past few months. It’s…

A short update. I’ve tried to learn as much as possible this year so that I knew exactly what lay ahead and it’s been a struggle every step of the way. It meant diving into things a barely understood and trying to wrap my head around things way beyond my…

Did I mention it’s been a weird year? (Updated) Apologies, I forgot to leave this here: https://news.sky.com/story/teenagers-anorexia-death-involved-neglect-and-could-have-been-avoided-an-inquest-has-concluded-12125711 It has been a bizarre, confusing and difficult week for myself and others and it’s all entirely in-keeping with 2020. The US election has grabbed the world’s attention and it’s hard to escape…

Making sure it’s worth the pain. No doubt there will be some waking up this morning questioning whether they made the right call yesterday. Hearing people list all of the potential harms we could see just adds to that feeling and it’s definitely heavy. Looking at the bigger picture and…

Lockdown 2. I’d love to say that today’s announcement was good news but we all know it isn’t — it’s shit but it’s part of the road to recovery and that’s a positive thing. It’s worth noting that it’s not as restrictive as the spring lockdown and I can understand…
