When I saw the video of Ross calling Good a 'Fucking bitch' after murdering her, it reminded me of the times men have called me a 'fucking bitch' for various things. For being difficult. For being opinionated. For being unfriendly.
He shot her out of anger. He shot her to put a woman in her place.

I scheduled my 1st appointment for therapy (starting in January) and received a job offer in Canada. My husband and I are moving in Spring 2026.
Lots of disappointment in 2025. But the new job is a good opportunity and Canada seems more open to trans ppl and their families than the UK. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇨🇦

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.
Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.
