PGP / SPD My story:

We need more of these conversations! My answer: I work with charities and organisations and my advocacy and petitions but we need more teamwork. I find a lot of organisations are more about validation than community support - they're competing instead of amplifying the message by working together. I just finished an understanding domestic abuse course and I work in youth services and safeguarding children depts (unpaid) and we still need to fight to stop the unpaid roles disabled people are often left with and the 13% wage gap for those who manage to find paid work. The system is destructive in more ways than one, and until people start supporting genuine advocates and people> abusive ones with facades, we won't action much positive change. However - I'm proud that I action positive change and challenge what needs to be challenged, even if it's only small changes I manage to implement. I would also suggest the legalisation of pepper spray - having done my due diligen...

  100% accuracy – Japanese. 🙌🏻 Sarah Wingfield ❤️ #Duolingo #Japanese #StillGoing #Studies Kawaii Doll Decora  Alt text: Bright yellow Duolingo progress screen dated February 1. Text reads “I’m acing Japanese lessons with 100% accuracy!” A smiling green Duolingo owl appears on the right. Below, a section titled “Words I learned” shows white rounded tiles with Japanese katakana words: ネコ, ワニ, コ, ネン, フネ, イケ, フ, サケ, フユ, and ケ. The Duolingo logo appears at the bottom and KawaiiDollDecora.uk.  Words learned: neko (ネコ) – cat 🐱 wani (ワニ) – crocodile 🐊 ko (コ) – katakana “ko” (character sound) nen (ネン) – year (used as a sound element/counter) fune (フネ) – boat / ship 🚢 ike (イケ) – pond 🏞️ fu (フ) – katakana “fu” sake (サケ) – salmon 🐟 (also means alcohol when written 酒 — context matters) fuyu (フユ) – winter ❄️ ke (ケ) – katakana “ke” Still going. Still learning. Still smashing it. 💅🏻✨

Abusive relationship advice (from lived experience): Trauma bonding can feel like an addiction — because in many ways, it functions like one. The hot-and-cold cycles of affection and withdrawal create intense emotional highs and lows that condition your nervous system. Over time, that pattern starts to feel familiar, and humans are naturally drawn to what feels familiar, even when it’s harmful. This is what makes the bond so strong. It isn’t love — it’s emotional conditioning. The manipulation of emotions keeps you chasing relief, reassurance, and connection, while slowly eroding your sense of safety and self. Understanding this isn’t about blame. It’s about clarity — and clarity is how the spell starts to break. But the moment you break it, the chains fall away — and you finally see the truth: the version of them you were clinging to was a fantasy, not reality. You are worthy of real love, safety, and consistency. You cannot find someone who will truly cherish or worship you while you...

Watching Kindness Disappear: People have been acting a bit wild lately. There’s a noticeable increase in hostile group behaviour, and while it often gets personalised, the truth is that most of the time it isn’t about the individual being targeted at all. We’re living in a time where people are tired, overwhelmed, and stretched thin. Life is hard. Systems are failing. Support is inconsistent. Many people are operating in survival mode. And when that happens, patience and empathy are often the first things to disappear. Sometimes it’s something as small as forgetting to say “please.” Sometimes it’s a message written bluntly because someone is exhausted, neurodivergent, anxious, or simply having a bad day. Instead of curiosity or compassion, what follows is a pile-on. A jump. A snap judgment. A sudden assumption of intent that was never there to begin with. What I see, again and again, is people waiting for a mistake. Waiting for a slip, a poorly worded sentence, a moment of vulnerabilit...

We’ve all been there — trying to create positive change, make things better, or simply stay in our own lane. And yet somehow, we find ourselves forced into defending ourselves or de-escalating situations we never caused. It’s important to remember this: we do not deserve to be targets of hate campaigns, nor anyone’s verbal punching bag. This image is dedicated to everyone who has found themselves caught in the middle of a battle they never asked for. I see you. I relate. You are not alone.

No Onion Boyfriends   I created this for those out there with partners who make them cry more often than they make them feel safe, loved, or valued. Onion boyfriends — all layers, all tears, no nourishment. Know your worth. You are worthy of consistency, care, and emotional safety. You are worthy of love that doesn’t hurt, confuse, or drain you. And you are absolutely worthy of more than anyone who repeatedly makes you cry. This is your reminder: love shouldn’t feel like something you have to survive. 💜 Kawaii Doll Decora 🌸 KawaiiDollDecora.uk #onion #affirmations #youmatter #youdeservelove #tears #crying #heartbreak #hardship  Alt text: Colourful kawaii-style illustration of a purple onion with a single all-seeing eye in the centre, shedding stylised tears.
