IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: DAMAGE CONTROL AND SAFEGUARDING:

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: DAMAGE CONTROL AND SAFEGUARDING: As I continue to be publicly targeted, I want to make my position completely clear. 🎯🎯🎯 I categorically deny harassing or stalking anyone. My life is focused on my family, work, advocacy and creative projects—not pursuing people with whom I have repeatedly and abundantly made clear that I want no contact or involvement. Since May, I have stated clearly and consistently that I do not want contact, meetings, involvement or continued public references to me. I have kept the individuals concerned blocked. No harassment has taken place from my side. I am deeply distressed that these boundaries have not been respected and that the continuing situation has caused, and continues to cause, real-life harm. I have preserved the complete chronology and supporting evidence, including records showing who initiated contact, who continued it and what occurred after clear boundaries were communicated. Update — 29 July 2026: further public targ...

Copyright theft, Intent to Harm & Meta:

Image
Copyright theft, Intent to Harm & Meta: I'm so frustrated : Meta has declined one of my copyright reports regarding over 20 incidents where my content was copied and redistributed without my consent, with the intent to cause harm, on the basis that they believe the content may fall under commentary, criticism or parody. My concern is that this decision appears to have been made without considering the wider context. The images form part of an ongoing police-reported cyberstalking investigation, involve my copyrighted photography and branding, and are accompanied by behaviour including repeated image theft, threats and unwanted contact. I've submitted evidence relating to each individual incident and respectfully ask Meta to conduct a full review of the complete evidence rather than assessing individual posts in isolation. Where there is an ongoing pattern of alleged harassment, context matters. I hope Meta's specialist teams will review all of the evidence, apply their ...

Accountability isn't controversial but necessary:

Accountability isn’t controversial — it’s necessary . If your first instinct is to question what someone was wearing instead of questioning why someone chose to abuse, then you’re not protecting anyone — you’re protecting harm. This is how victim blaming survives. This is how coercion and manipulation stay normalised. This is how people get silenced. Clothing is not consent. Existing is not consent. Abuse is a choice — and that choice belongs entirely to the abuser. We need to stop policing women’s bodies and start challenging dangerous mindsets. Because every time blame is misplaced, you make it easier for abuse to continue. Do better. Learn better. Be better. I’ve just come from a comment thread about school uniforms and dress codes, and honestly, some of the responses have been deeply concerning. We need to be very clear: clothing is not the issue. Abuse is the issue. Control is the issue. Coercion is the issue. Abusers do not abuse because of skirt length, tops, makeup, or what som...

Disabilities Are Not Swearwords:

Disabilities Are Not Swearwords. There is something deeply unsettling about watching adults weaponise medical conditions as insults. Recently, in a local Darlington group, children’s behaviour was criticised by throwing around real diagnoses — including Foetal Alcohol Syndrome — as if they were punchlines. As if they were shorthand for “bad”, “feral”, “wrong”. Let me say this plainly: Using conditions like Foetal Alcohol Syndrome as an insult is not commentary. It is dehumanising . It reinforces stigma that real children live with every single day. And when adults model that behaviour publicly, it normalises cruelty . Disabilities are NOT swearwords. Diagnoses are NOT insults. If children behave harmfully, address the behaviour. Call out racism. Call out aggression. Call out misconduct. But do not drag disabled children into it as collateral damage. Because when someone says, “What in the foetal alcohol syndrome…” as shorthand for bad behaviour, what they are really communicating is ...

Devaluation in Narcissist Parents:

Devaluation in Narcissist Parents: They devalue their partner, then their children — then act like it’s someone else’s fault. ❤️‍🩹 Some ways devaluation shows up (especially when children are involved): • Abandonment without accountability Leaving a partner, but telling the child alone, controlling the narrative while excluding the other parent. • Manufactured struggle They create chaos or a “problem,” then present themselves as the hero who “fixed it” to appear like the better parent. • Replacement narratives Telling the child they’ve been “replaced” by an ex-partner or new partner — or implying they are — to provoke fear, insecurity, or loyalty conflict. • Financial avoidance with entitlement They don’t contribute to child trust funds, savings, or long-term security — yet expect the other parent to fund everything while taking credit or demanding access. • Triangulation They pit people against each other (child vs parent, ex vs new partner) to maintain control and avoid accountabili...
