An Actress Arrives

I hate bullying. In all it's forms. I hate prejudice. In all it's forms. There are enough shitty conflicts in the world and enough problems that need solving without idiots going around body shaming, mum shaming, you're too gay/religious/female/male/disabled and on and on and on. Worse than just saying it to each other, we spread it around the internet, we buy it in our media. Newspapers spreading racial hatred and 'beauty' magazines telling us we're not good enough. It's no wonder the world is full of insecure people with low opinions of themselves, who then lash out at someone else to make themselves feel superior. Just stop it! Bullying someone else to make yourself feel good just makes you a twat. Buying into pathetic stereotypes just makes you a twat. So what if that little girl wants to play with cars and that little boy wants to wear pink shoes. Where is the harm in that? There isn't any. So stop bitching at each other and go do somethin

I have Aphantasia. You probably haven't heard of it but I'm trying to spread the word. I doubt this will be the only mention of this on my blog but it is the first, obviously.

The conversation went roughly as follow. Tom: So apparently there are people who can't see images in their heads! Me: People can see things in their heads!! Like actual pictures. Tom: Yeeeah. You do

Hello! I am a very opinionated and determined Yorkshire actress. I have a lot of loves and a lot of hates and I expect that throughout the course of this blog you will see a lot of both. I am aiming for at least a weekly blog, though if I feel an urge to discuss something in particular, I will do so at will. I welcome comments and discussions but please be nice to each other, there is enough hatred in the world without using my blog as another tool to hate on people. So about me. For those of you who don't know me, I have two precocious toddlers and a husband who I adore. Recently acquired husband by the way, we got married on the 20th May 2017. I adore my children, which should be a given really, though they do occasionally drive me bat shit crazy. Should probably mention that I am from Yorkshire, so my language may be colourful at times. By at times I mean pretty often. I have a degree in Forensic Science and hate woo woo bull shit and anti vaxers. So if you're into tha
