The Journal

An incomplete list of reasons to follow or unfollow me. Credit to Threads user and absolute legend of a human being, @mohu, from whom I've drawn inspiration for this post. I tagged him in my original 54-thread Thread, and this is what he had to say: Because that original was such a pain in the arse I'm posting here, and eventually this manifesto will live on my blog. For now though I just want as many people as possible to see it. Any similarities between Mohu's original post and what you're...

Week one. Done. I know I said I'd be sending The Journal Monday-Saturday, but I stg my head is up my arse this week. It's Easter holidays for the kids, I feel like shit, and I chose this week to make my big return. Whhhyyyyy do I do this to myself?!

It was a daft suggestion from me to help keep me consistent, because ADHD. I had no idea that the post...

The first ever entry into The Journal has arrived... I'm not gonna lie... I've been very excited and very nervous in equal measure waiting for this to publish. Of course I did the typical ADHD thing where you make a commitment to something, and then do pretty much everything except sit down to do the thing you've committed to. But sit down I did, last night, to write and schedule this, so it's done with time to spare! Just tomorrow's email to write tonight now! 🙃 Yesterday was day one of my...
