Taking a break:

Image
 Taking a Break ❤️ I’m taking a social media break again. My mental health isn’t doing well — not after everything I’ve had to face over the last year and more. I can’t make others stand for what they preach, even though I try. I can’t make others care, or stop being harmful, even though I try. And I’ve never asked for any of it. I’m doing my best to fix where others are going wrong. If people choose to bully or exclude, that’s on them — not me. I don’t condone it, and it’s heartbreaking, because I know deep down that we are stronger together. If more people stood for what they preached, the world would already be a better place. I don’t condone emotional abuse, ostracism, or hate campaigns — and I never will. So I’m carving my own piece of the world for those who are authentic, genuine, and actually care about people and community. That’s all I can do. You don’t see the harm it causes behind the scenes. You judge from your screens — but it doesn’t matter until it’s you being mistr...

World mental health day:

 💔 When Exclusion Is Emotional Abuse — Especially by Those in Power Emotional abuse isn’t always loud. Sometimes it looks like refusal to communicate, public exclusion, and deliberate silence from people who know exactly how much it hurts. When councillors, community figures, or organisations ignore messages, refuse inclusion, and block disabled or vulnerable people from participating, that’s not “professional distance” — that’s emotional abuse through ostracism. It’s the kind of abuse that says: “You don’t matter.” “Your voice isn’t welcome.” And when it’s done repeatedly, it chips away at your confidence, your trust, and your sense of belonging. This is institutional cruelty — when people with power choose to punish others through silence instead of resolving issues with fairness and humanity. 🌱 How to Protect Your Mental Health Acknowledge what it is. Repeated exclusion and refusal to engage — especially from officials or organisations — is emotional harm. Recognising it as ab...

Around Town- Only SOME of the town:

Image
It’s been a year. A year of hate campaigns, ostracising, and bullying — and still, no one is being held to account. No communication. No community support. Councillors Hawkins and Hill joined in the hate campaigns and chose harmful behaviour alongside some other Newtonians - because elitism and ego and harm; appear to be more important than being a community supporter or helping the town or community. Great Aycliffe Town Council I am still being excluded and bullied by Cllr Hawkins and Cllr Hill. I don't understand what makes grown men follow orders off someone else to be harmful to their community instead of helpful. It's disgusting. Heartbreaking 💔.  All of our #community matters. Had to complain - not that it will do much as Durham County Council tend to side with abusers these days and those who harm and ostracise and silence disabled voices - than help them and ask accountability of those on their staff. #kindnessmatters People should make sure that their actions are kin...

On Bad Days:

On Bad Days: Remembering Your Own Kindness Some days, the world feels heavier than usual. Your thoughts swirl in loops, your energy runs dry, and even the smallest tasks feel like mountains. These are the days when being kind to yourself matters most. It’s okay to slow down. It’s okay to pause. You don’t need to be productive, positive, or “fixed” today. Just being you in this moment is enough. Bad days don’t define you. They don’t erase your strength, your resilience, or the love and effort you pour into yourself and others. They are simply part of the human experience, a reminder that life isn’t always smooth—and that’s perfectly okay. So today, be gentle with yourself. Speak to yourself as you would to a friend who is hurting. Allow space for your feelings without judgement. Take the smallest steps that feel nurturing—whether that’s drinking a warm cup of tea, journalling a few lines, or simply breathing deeply. Remember, kindness towards yourself is never a weakness. It is the quie...

Announcement: Aycliffe Alternative:

Image
 #announcement  https://kawaiidolldecora.uk/aycliffe-alternative Aycliffe Alternative Magazine: Our team is made up of people who’ve been pushed out of community projects, silenced, ostracised, and sabotaged — people who refused to compromise their morals just to fit in. We’re the ones who still stand for what’s right, even when it costs us. Many of the people featured in our magazine are those you won’t find highlighted elsewhere. Not because they haven’t tried — but because they’ve been mistreated, lied about, or left behind by those meant to represent the community. We believe no one deserves abandonment or blacklisting, especially when their hard work directly benefits our town. We came together to create a space for everyone. We don’t exclude anyone — ever. Our mission isn’t about popularity or politics; it’s about people.  We believe every voice deserves to be heard, and every contribution to our town deserves recognition. While we still try to engage and collaborat...

Not Their Enemy, Just Their Reminder:

Image
Not Their Enemy, Just Their Reminder: Some people see genuine support as a threat because they’ve been too busy being maladaptive, nepotistic, and sabotaging others while pretending to help. They weaponise their so-called “support” to harm, and they don’t want those they’ve pushed out of the community — their self-proclaimed elite — to have a real voice. They thrive on ostracising, silencing, and blacklisting others. I’ve lived it, so of course I get trolled and attacked for running a magazine that gives everyone a voice and refuses to leave anyone out. Because of a false community protection notice I received, there are now two organisations and a company I can’t publish about in the magazine. My genuine support for them was met with lies, manipulation, and abuse — and I can’t be involved with them anymore. I still write about the reality of what happens. I prefer positive and uplifting posts, but I can’t control how others behave — I can only call it out and focus on the spaces that ...

Standing Strong in Truth: Amplifying Voices and Building Change

Image
Standing Strong in Truth: Amplifying Voices and Building Change I’m working hard piecing articles together, and I’m doing it for the right reasons — accessibility and community.  No matter how much you try or how much you give, there will always be those who can’t see your authenticity or kindness, who mislabel you simply because they want to not like you.  To that I say: stand strong in your truth. Keep going. Keep helping. Keep giving — until you’ve helped so many that their words are buried by the change you’ve created. I’m only just getting started, and I will amplify the voices that deserve recognition. I’m not biased — that’s my character, and I stand firmly on that. Nepotism and hate campaigns serve no real purpose. If you feel the need to make war, don’t drag me into it. Thank you. — Sarah ❤️ Independent Disability Advocate  #disabilityinclusion #strongertogether #disability #disabilityawareness #disabilitysupport #disabilityrights Alt text: A woman with pink hair...

The magazine aims to showcase the diverse spirit of the town, blending the alternative with the everyday.

Newton News/Newton Press, representation matters:

Newton News/Newton Press, representation matters: To my friends who were waiting to see my Disability Awareness Speech photos with The Rotary Newton Aycliffe in the Newton News — I’m sorry to say I haven’t been printed again. Newton Press has failed to represent myself, my work, and my community. I had hoped this would be a chance to build bridges, to move past how poorly I’ve been treated in the past, and to ensure that our disabled community has a fair voice. I was even willing to repair those bridges and take down my factual review of my mistreatment if the paper had shown a sign of wanting resolution — by being fair, accessible, and inclusive towards myself and our disabled community. Sadly, that hasn’t happened. Personal biases clearly exist, and it seems they can’t be resolved — you can’t reason with the unreasonable. I’m sharing this here because I am a Newtonian, because the work I do matters, and because the people I help matter. The speech was a step in the right direction to...
