5 years ago I almost took my own life. 3 years ago I could barely leave the house with anxiety. Today I did solo yoga on a beach surrounded by people and gave no fucks.

At a festival the main way in was downhill, I fell and then rolled down it in front of about 9000 people. Worst of it was my skirt came over my head revealing THE biggest pair of flowery granny pants my mate had give me as a joke 🙈🙈
Today i have been intimidated by a bloke who sat next to me on a train and squashed me against the wall. I couldn’t lift my arms to drink or move. I asked him 3 times to let me out before he even acknowledged my presence. He took delight in this I could see him smirking.
I am not a small or quiet woman, I know he heard me the first time. I had to move to an entirely different carriage, whilst struggling to control an anxiety attack. Absolutely shook me up. Fucking prick, my nervous system all over the place.
Last night, some Scottish witches who won't burn got together for cake, Prosecco and many a laugh. A wonderful, slightly belated launch for our book, 'The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht', available from all good bookshops! (Photo by Lloyd Smith)

If you are going to the Tommy Robinson march this weekend, think it is OK to do so, or align with the right-wing racist agenda, do me a favour and unfollow me now.
Feel free to make yourself known so I can block you too.

huge thanks to

@SurrogConcern
for the event yesterday. I thought I knew a lot about the horrors of surrogacy, but yesterday I learnt so much more. “Tell your daughters not to donate their eggs”

Shout it loud!! Pasta might be cheap but if you can’t afford the gas to cook it it’s useless. I have budgeted all my life, lived off non branded items. I know how to budget and make a meal stretch into several meals. It’s not a lack of education.

Being a lesbian is about being same sex attracted not same gender. Lesbians shouldn’t be shamed or bullied for not being attracted to TW especially those that haven’t medically transitioned.

An intense week of organising this incredible event, and getting the video out within 24 hours. Wouldn’t change it for the world though.

One was being used in human trials but the men didn't like the side effects such as mild headaches, never mind us women and all the side effects we put up with though! So it was shelved
Glasgow brief but wonderful this time! So many amazing things happening at grassroots level. It’s a privilege to be a part of it. Women getting shit done.

The issue with gloves is if the virus is on them it is then passed on to any other item touched with the gloves. But that doesn’t give anyone the right to speak to / treat someone whose keeping the country going this way. She’s got to protect herself too

3/3 Older than 16, this women hatred is caused by porn. Lesbian is a porn category in his head and any woman who isn’t available for him to f*ck is open for abuse. pointless me reporting this as the busys would never track him down. I am disgusted once again by men. It never ends
@ToryFibs
GM has been a experiment for months, as a resident my blood is boiling, I'm a Scouser who (just about) remembers the 80s, always hated the tories now ore than ever. This would never even be though of for London
2/3 You looking at you f*cking little lesbian” This is what women / lesbians are dealing with on a daily basis from men. Just going about our daily business is enough to cause offence and abuse. I am a little shaken by this, but mostly very angry at the entitlement of a lad no
Today is Boxing Day in the U.K. it’s also Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffes 43rd birthday, her 6th spent being held in Iran away from her daughter and husband. I hope we have her home way before her next birthday.

1/3 🧵 Today I have been out on my driving lesson. As I was pulling up to a junction a lad on a bike was on the pavement to my right, I’ve looked up at him (you know to check I wasn’t going to run him over!) and he pulls up right next to my window and screams “what the F*ck are
