Where’s the Stephen’s face GIF?

On this day in 2014, our then 6yo son pushed this festive note under his sister’s door. And so, today, on the 23rd of December, we hope you’ll join us in an O’Sullivan family Xmas tradition as we wish each other - and you - a very Merry Scum Day. #merryscumday

If you've watched this, thank you. If it has shocked you, I'm not surprised. I still struggle to believe it. Now, please, if you can, SHARE it. Here, everywhere. SEND it to people. SHOUT about it. The people who can change this still aren't listening. We need to make them.

This is the most important and urgent thing I have ever shared. We’re in the middle of a public health emergency. Please watch. Then please share. But don’t just share, SHOUT about it. Get angry about it. Contact your MP. Tell everyone. Please. #ActOnIICSA #TheElephantInTheRoom

Big fan of A Christmas Carol (even without the original Muppets) so looking forward to this one. Looks good ovo.org.uk/shows/a-chri...

This episode is both heartbreaking and inspirational in equal measure. Jess was amazing, Andrea and family are amazing. It does involve grief so please take care, but what happened to Jess really needs to be heard as does the campaign for change 💛

If you listen to podcasts, have a listen. If you don’t listen to podcasts, still have a listen.The first episode features Nicky Campbell; it is compelling and raw. The second is me. @immarkosullivan.bsky.social is a natural—no surprise to me, of course. 💙🧵8/

I can’t tell you how proud I am of my friend @myjessbrady.bsky.social and how grateful I am to her for talking to me on the Making Lemonade podcast. It’s out on Weds 9th shows.acast.com/makinglemonade

When my friend @immarkosullivan.bsky.social asked me to be interviewed for his Making Lemonade podcast, I agreed because he is awesome, but I was uncertain. Goodness knows what I might say if left to ramble on for half an hour. 🧵6/8

In truth, occasionally I read less in-depth articles about Jess, and my heart aches when she is reduced to ‘Brady’—the 27-year-old woman ignored by her GP practice. She was so much more. 🧵5/8

As our campaign for Jess’s Law gathered momentum, I was repeatedly told by people treading a similar path that I needed to trust and use the media. So, I did. I was privileged to meet some extraordinarily sensitive journalists and reporters. 🧵4/8

A friend suggested contacting CRUK’s media for advice. Fortunately,Tom contacted me, and I will be forever grateful for his sage advice. He suggested I write a First Person piece. Fortunately, The Metro printed not one, but two articles I wrote. 🧵3/8

When I lost my beautiful daughter Jess to stage 4 cancer, diagnosed too late, we were flooded with media requests to talk about what had happened due to the petition for Jess’s Law. 🧵1/8

The next episode of Making Lemonade, where I’m speaking to the brave and brilliant Andrea Brady, is out next Wednesday 9th April. And it’s both heartbreaking and inspiring. #makinglemonade shows.acast.com/makinglemonade

Thank you, @michaelhogan100.bsky.social I’m feeling a bit tearful/joyful today!
