Wales said no to bigotry and hate. Diolch Caerphilly. Let this be the battle cry to show us all that things aren’t as lost as we thought they were in our country. ❤️❤️

It’s #worldsuicidepreventionday 💛 Let’s keep showing up for each other, because against the isolation and fear created by suicide, our superpower as a community is to talk about our mental health & make it the most normal thing on the planet.

I always think about this image. I find something so beautiful about a quiet late night diner. A place to escape to for the weary and the sleepless. A place to process, to escape, to create. I’m probably romanticising the idea, but does that really matter? (Nighthawks by Edward Hopper) #Art

Ah, I love how this show just helps me escape into pure fantasy. Even the episodes I’m not as into I don’t hate. It’s this beautiful diverse story that spans everything, and if you stop looking for everything you hate, you can really enjoy the ride #DoctorWho

For 3 years I’ve been consistently harassed by a group of boys. It has destroyed me. I wondered about sharing this, but I talk about the power of connection in my work @helpucymru.bsky.social & believe sharing helps people. Full story in images ⬇️ #mentalhealth #anxiety #Adolescence #masculinity

I work with a Men’s mental health org in Wales @helpucymru.bsky.social - signposting to local support, sharing stories & connecting with the Men of Wales. For anyone who needs it, find support here: Helpu.org.uk Remember, connection is protection #UniMentalHealthDay

I’m gonna need Paradise to get a second season because that was some of the best television I’ve seen in a long time. From the end of the first episode I knew this one was gonna keep me guessing

🏆🏆 WE WON 🏆🏆 We are a small and extremely passionate team who want to support the Men of Wales and I couldn’t be prouder to be a small part of that. 🧡🧡 We would love to connect @helpucymru.bsky.social Helpu.org.uk #MentalHealthMatters

Adults should be encouraged to dress up as their favourite characters on world book day too #Worldbookday

I don’t always get to events because of my chronic illness flares, so i felt really grateful that I was able to attend ‘TEAM Celebrate’ last week and see the work brought to life by the creatives & young people we have worked with in the past year at TEAM. This room was so full of love & support 🙏🏻

Looking forward to this celebration exhibition tomorrow 🙂 It’s been amazing working with TEAM over the last 9 months. Come say hey & see the brilliant things we’ve been up to with some brilliant Cardiff creatives 👋🏻 teamcollectivecymru.org/events/team-celebrate

‘Nuclear War: A Scenario’ is a highly intense and phenomenally detailed account of what would happen in the first hours of a nuclear war. Annie Jacobsen has created a terrifying, captivating & necessary book with a simple message - Nuclear bombs are dumb as f*ck

📣 Lovely moment ❤️ Excited to see TEAM Collective Cymru & @helpucymru.bsky.social shortlisted for Cardiff Life Awards. It’s been such a joy to work with both of these organisations this year Show some love: instagram.com/teamcollectivecymru instagram.com/helpucymru Well done! Llongyfarchiadau!

I don’t think I would have found this book without the encouragement of a good friend, but since picking it up for the first time, it’s truly felt like I’ve got to know myself better in many ways. I’m so glad this memoir is out there, I think it will help a lot of people.

It can be hard to place feelings about a loss of somebody you don’t personally know, but the truth is whether through her her humour, talent or story, The Vivienne will have touched so many lives, and felt like a part of each persons story. RIP Viv. We celebrate & remember you

Spending some time walking outside in some surprise snow was just what the body and head needed tonight ❤️ Was nice to so many people out on the streets enjoying it ❄️

I love a new years morning. It feels like the world is still asleep and I’m stealing time that shouldn’t be there

Honoured to have met the fantastic author, activist and artist @henryfraser.bsky.social in 2024 - his words really helped me to consider my ongoing chronic illness & having his art on my walls is a daily reminder to remember The Little Big Things. #2024recap #HappyNewYear2025

3 years alcohol free today, and regardless of the challenges I’ve had recently or am going through now, this is something I will always be proud of. Feel more myself than ever since making a decision just for me 🙏🏻❤️ #Christmas  #JoinIn

Wallace & Gromit was the warm hug I needed today. Anybody else want to enjoy tea and biscuits in the countryside while solving absurd mysteries? It just feels right #Christmas

Between Tayce, a brilliant drag performer winning strictly & Doctor Who unafraid to cut deep about the Tory lockdown parties, I’m happy to confirm that right wing X is indeed in meltdown #Christmas

This feels like Christmas. Doctor Who & good TV has that power to make you feel a bit less alone on a day like today #Christmas2024 #JoinIn #DoctorWho

If I’m honest, this season has been hard. I’ve lost my main source of income in the same week as my birthday & Christmas. I’m not sure what January brings, but I hope there is some peace I hope you are looking after yourselves if this season is difficult #JoinIn #Christmas2024

Just because I’m on my own, doesn’t mean I’m gonna skip the best meal of the year 🐷🎄 #JoinIn #Christmas2024

Christmas reading courtesy of @sachacoward.bsky.social 📚 Been waiting to get my teeth into this one, and today feels like the perfect day. #JoinIn

The local church looked beautiful last night #JoinIn

Christmas doesn’t look a certain way. I’m on my own and will be making today a self care day. Good food and good tv that I love ✌🏻I’ll take some time to remember the people I wish could be here & go for a calming walk 🙏🏻 Merry Christmas Me ❤️ #Christmas2024 #JoinIn

I truly hope the #JoinIn community transfer to this app for 2024. It’s an important & brilliant part of Christmas Day.

So what’s everyone doing while they can’t sleep. I’m practising my ‘there’s no place like home’ heel clicks just in case #StormDarragh

So we all thought the nuclear button had been pressed for 10 seconds didn’t we?

The importance of Danny opening up and talking about how much it’s helping him can’t be over looked. So many men are still under an impression that they shouldn’t share because it’s not what men do, and seeing that challenged always puts a smile on my face. #ImACeleb #MentalHealth

explaining to my followers why my posts aren't that good

Really enjoyed my trip to see Hamilton last night. I feel like it has been a successful year of theatre seeing, mixed in with some unavoidable failures due to my illness. Theatre remains my safe space & my soul filler ❤️

Tonight is our second LGBT Mens group, organised by Helpu. Being at the first felt so welcoming and like a truly safe space. Hope to see it continue to grow. Men, you are all welcome. Feel free to message if you want to know more or check out helpu.org.uk #Cardiff #Caerdydd #Menshealth #LGBT

I hope today that every man knows he belongs. There are so many unique versions of what a man can be and we need to celebrate that more - not worry about what masculinity or a man should be. #internationalmensday2024

I’m spending a week with this beautiful boy, who gets all of the love in the world, but still manages to pull the face of a neglected Victorian child to guilt you into offering him an extra snack. #SaturdayMood

A beautiful moment on the train this morning, where my book had caught the eye of a fellow traveler and we jumped right in to discussing our love of books, our favourites & our shared interest in men’s mental health. Two unique souls crossing paths #MensHealth #booklovers

Feels wild to be in Paris right now. It is my first time abroad since being housebound for 4 years, and while I know it’s not the most important thing in the world, it’s still pretty overwhelming for me & I’m feeling pretty bloody proud of myself ❤️🇫🇷🏉🤙🏻 #Paris

#worldmentalhealthday Today I am celebrating still being here, fighting through my world being turned upside down by a narcissist masking themselves as a dear friend and finding reasons to smile. This photo (taken last week in London) reminds me that I can still smile amongst the bad.
