Today should be a day of celebration.

Today should be a day of celebration.  After years of hard work, consistency, determination, and refusing to give up, my stickers finally arrived for my autograph packages. ❤️ They represent two parts of my life that I have poured my heart into: creativity and advocacy. They represent the people I've supported, the voices I've amplified, the causes I've stood up for, and the dreams I've continued to chase even when life made things difficult. But if I'm honest, this past week has been relentless. I think people sometimes forget that behind every profile, page, group, blog, or business is a human being. It's difficult to fully celebrate something you've been excited about when you're simultaneously navigating health battles, recovering from targeted behaviour, dealing with family wounds, and preparing for court proceedings connected to past abuse. Today, when these arrived, I expected to feel excited. Instead, I mostly felt tired. And that's okay. Bec...

Online Conduct Has Real-World Consequences:

Online Conduct Has Real-World Consequences: One of the most common misconceptions I see online is the belief that behaviour only matters if someone is directly tagged, named, or if comments are made within a specific group. That simply isn't true. Social media platforms are interconnected spaces. Whether a comment is made on a personal profile, in a public group, on a page, or within a community discussion, the impact can still be very real. People do not need to be directly tagged for discussions to affect them. People do not need to be named for others to know who is being discussed. Context matters. When conversations become focused on individuals rather than issues, the impact can extend far beyond the original post. Rumours spread. Hostility grows. Assumptions are made. People begin taking sides based on partial information rather than evidence. This is particularly important when discussing safeguarding, community management, moderation, advocacy, or any situation involving v...

The Flowers:

The Flowers: A lot of eyewitnesses are seeing exactly what I'm having to deal with and reaching out with support behind the scenes. There was a time when I had to face abusive behaviour unsupported and alone. That time no longer exists. I am incredibly grateful to be surrounded by thoughtful, logical people who can see what is really happening and who continue to send guidance, kindness, and support. Today, I broke down crying. Not because of those trying to cause harm, but because I was overwhelmed by the amount of support I have received while facing yet another difficult situation created by the choices of other people. Peter handed me these beautiful flowers after seeing the threats, hostility, and harmful behaviour that have been directed towards me. For a moment, he thought he had upset me. In reality, I was simply overwhelmed by feeling cared for. Yes, I am continuing to log evidence and report matters appropriately. Yes, I am removing people who publicly support threats, vi...

Why Advocacy Matters:

Why Advocacy Matters 💜 As an advocate, one of the hardest lessons I had to learn was how to advocate for myself. Helping others always came naturally. Standing up for vulnerable people, challenging unfair treatment, supporting those who felt unheard, and amplifying voices that were being ignored felt easy compared to speaking up for my own needs. Today, that has changed. I am proud to advocate for others, but I am equally proud to advocate for myself. Unfortunately, self-advocacy is often misunderstood. People who set boundaries, speak up, promote their work, challenge discrimination, or refuse to stay silent are often labelled selfish, narcissistic, attention-seeking, or worse. The reality is very different. Self-advocacy is not about ego. It is about recognising your own worth and understanding that your voice matters too. When disabled people, survivors, neurodivergent individuals, or anyone facing adversity speak up, they are not asking for special treatment. They are asking for d...

The Gretna Green, Great Grub & Birthday Retreat Daydreams:

The Gretna Green, Great Grub & Birthday Retreat Daydreams: Yesterday, Peter took me for some lovely food at Gretna Green in Newton Aycliffe. 💜 This place holds a lot of fond memories for me, and the staff are always welcoming, friendly, and helpful, even when they're rushed off their feet. Life hasn't exactly been gentle lately. I've had some incredibly difficult pain days, moments where my body has completely seized up, very little sleep, and more than my fair share of negativity directed my way. Yet I keep showing up, keep supporting others, and keep moving forward. One thing I've learned is that some people only know how to tear others down, while others know how to build people up. I'm choosing to focus on the people who support, encourage, and care. Last night I was awake until 6am after a bit of gaming on Avakin Life, but what kept me going through the early hours was daydreaming about my birthday weekend in July. 🌿✨ Peter now has a small mountain of Boo...

Abuse Update:

Abuse Update: People continue to send me screenshots of a man I have blocked, along with posts and comments from those supporting or participating in the same behaviour, whom I have also blocked. I understand that not everyone will agree with me, my decisions, or the work I do, and that's absolutely okay. However, there is a difference between constructive criticism and personal attacks. Healthy communities thrive on discussion, accountability, and respectful disagreement. They do not benefit from insults, rumours, intimidation, harassment, stalking, or attempts to provoke conflict. I have seen claims suggesting that certain individuals were blocked simply for disagreeing with me. I hold evidence that demonstrates a different sequence of events. The individuals concerned were blocked following behaviour that I considered abusive, hostile, or repeatedly targeted towards me. The decision was based on conduct and boundaries, not on disagreement or differences of opinion. Evidence matt...

Unflushables: A new art video drop:

🚽💖 NEW ART VIDEO DROP! 💖🚽 The artwork for "Unflushables" is officially here! 🎨✨ This song is dedicated to those people who just won't go away... the drama-stirrers, boundary-pushers, serial lurkers, and professional nonsense spreaders. You block them, mute them, ignore them... and somehow they're still floating around causing chaos. 😅 So I decided to turn that frustration into something fun, colourful, and a little bit ridiculous. Featuring: 💩 An angry pink unflushable 🪰 A couple of suspicious flies 🚽 Toilet humour 🎵 A catchy beat 💖 Classic K•Doll chaos Creating the artwork was honestly as much fun as making the song itself. Sometimes the best way to deal with negativity is to laugh at it and turn it into art. If you've ever had someone who couldn't take the hint, wouldn't respect boundaries, or kept popping back up when nobody asked them to... this one's for you. 😂 🎨 Artwork by K•Doll 🎵 "Unflushables" – K•Doll x Mai★ KDoll 🔥🪓...
