I went to college with someone whose Twitter account was suspended after what happened to Caroline Flack. I’ll leave that there.

Jason Arday’s death has triggered something I wasn’t expecting: reliving my own experiences with the college toxic mum group. The memories I’d buried have suddenly come roaring back. Apparently, some wounds don’t stay buried just because you stop talking about them.

Had fun at the launch for the Tomb Raider exhibition in Derby Museum's Pickford House last night. #tombraider #laracroft #cosplay
The Lara Croft exhibition was on the news tonight - and the info board I did, made an appearance… Starts around 20:40: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Hot take: We didn’t lose because Argentina were better on the day. We lost because half the internet thought comparing a football match to the Falklands was a good idea. The spirits were having none of it. #worldcup
Anyone else watching #FlashGordon on SkyArts? This is the first time I’ve seen it since I met Sam Jones in person!
Who else thinks surviving a heatwave should qualify as being “in recovery”? I swear it takes days before you feel human again.
Mum asked if college was okay despite the bullies. The bullies weren’t the problem. The people I called friends were. And that hurt a lot more.
Saw a dead magpie recently. Folklore says it means a run of bad luck has ended. It reminded me of a woman I once knew who treated magpies, TV psychics, and celebrity gurus as sources of wisdom. Maybe the omen finally worked.

Truth is like spit. You won’t like it but it’s still there on your hand.
Just realised Rimmer from Red Dwarf joined the Love Celibacy Society. So… was sci-fi’s biggest incel hiding in plain sight?
In real life, I wouldn’t still be on that street… I’d have escaped Coronation Street long before it swallowed me whole.
If people from my past keep pushing, don’t be surprised when I stop being polite about it—history already gave you a warning.
Just another day of being a vulnerable autistic person getting threatened by a large, out-of-town group that leans on size and numbers to intimidate.

Just clocked that young Lister in Red Dwarf calls everything “crypto-fascist”… so what, did that universe accidentally invent Bitcoin early?
Trust isn’t built in big moments—it’s built marble by marble. Boundaries respected. Promises kept. Mistakes owned. Confidence held. After a toxic environment, you don’t hand out jars—you watch who earns them back.
For me, Bluesky feels like Twitter rebuilt with trauma survivors in mind.
In college it felt like The Little Red Hen—the resources were there, but every time I tried to build something, I was turned away. Funny how, when it worked, it became “we crew” and everyone wanted credit. Lesson learned—I’m building with better people now.

When I speak as an autistic bullying survivor and get “we didn’t realise,” it doesn’t undo the impact. It just explains the avoidance.

There was a point I had so many death threats I had to strip my family details from the public phone book. Funny how people like that have so much to say—makes you wonder where their own families are in their lives.
