High Force Waterfall — 11th July 2026, 14:20hrs

High Force Waterfall — 11th July 2026, 14:20hrs. I am now releasing the footage from my visit to High Force Waterfall on 11th July 2026. The private video link sent directly to High Force has already been viewed 12 times, so they have had ample opportunity to see and consider the footage for themselves. I raised my concerns because what happened affected me in real life as a disabled visitor. I expected those concerns to be taken seriously, investigated fairly and handled with compassion. Instead, I was left feeling as though my account was being questioned and my lived experience dismissed. Statements were apparently relied upon to suggest that my description of events was inaccurate, yet when I asked to see appropriately redacted copies of those statements, I received no meaningful response. Since challenging the way my complaint was handled, I have seemingly been ghosted. That silence matters. Disabled people are already accused far too often of exaggerating, inventing or misreprese...

Advocacy with force at High Force:

Advocacy with force at High Force: Today we visited High Force, and while the scenery was absolutely breathtaking, the experience was also a reminder of the barriers disabled people can still face. Living with chronic pain, EDhS and POTS means I have to plan everything carefully. I brought a foldable chair so I could rest safely without relying on there being seating available. Instead of being asked about my accessibility needs, I felt I was spoken to abruptly before I had the chance to explain why I had it. The interaction left me feeling anxious and, for a while, like I was the problem. The important part, though, is that I advocated for myself. I stayed calm, explained my needs, acknowledged that staff have rules to follow, and respectfully said I didn't appreciate the way I was being spoken to. That might not sound like much to some people, but for someone who has experienced anxiety and trauma around conflict, it represents huge personal growth. Disabled people aren't ask...

Why?

Image
  Why...? Survival. Don't want to become like those who hurt me. Because the world needs more good. Because I've had too much bad. Sometimes “nice” isn’t just a personality trait… Sometimes it’s protection. Survival. Adaptation. Behind the softness, there can be things people don’t see. Things that shaped how we move through the world. Be kind—but also be aware. Not everything gentle came from ease.

In the first panel, a cute character asks another character labelled “Nice,” “Why are you so nice?” In the second panel, a hand lifts the top of the “Nice” character’s head. In the third panel, the inside is revealed to say “CPTSD.” In the final panel, the character gently places the “Nice” label back on, smiling softly.

Disability Support needs to be Stronger in the community:

Disability Support needs to be Stronger in the community: Disability comes in all shapes, sizes, forms, and ages. So why are disabled people still being mistreated—especially when they are already fighting every single day just to live and survive? This is even more evident within our own local communities. 👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻 Too often, the moment a disabled person becomes successful in any way, support disappears and is replaced with criticism, judgement, or backlash!! It’s getting ridiculous. I recently shared my music online—something I create as part of my own mental health support and to help others—and I faced backlash for it. Despite being an admin, having consent to post, and checking beforehand, people still chose negativity over support. It isn’t hard to uplift your community. Yet time and time again, people would rather criticise than encourage. What shocked me most was that one of the individuals involved had even attended a PIP protest—someone who should understand the importanc...

Broken Friendships:

Image
 💔 Sometimes you have to accept that people’s actions don’t always match their words. I recently learned that someone I trusted — and even gave another chance to — wasn’t being honest. It’s been painful to process, especially when all I needed was space to heal, not judgement or interference. I’ve realised it’s always better to work through problems with communication and understanding, not with gossip or division. Real friends respect space, boundaries, and truth — even when things get hard. They don’t twist stories or try to turn others against you. I know what was said, and I know it wasn’t true — but I also know I can’t change it. It’s sad to lose someone you once looked up to, but sometimes peace comes from walking away quietly — still wishing them well, but knowing you can’t go back. ❤️‍🩹 Love people from a distance if you must, but never condone manipulation, disrespect, or attempts to control your relationships. Support should be offered with care — never forced. I don’t ...

Not Their Enemy, Just Their Reminder:

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 ...
