We made it through. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙 youtube.com/shorts/hUfhw...

Hit 600k followers over on Instagram, what a way to end the year! Thanks to everyone who has engaged so positively with my work and reminded me that for every drop of snash, there is an infinite puddle of kindness, and respect to splash in. Here's to another year of trying, and making it through. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

Happy Hogmanay, lang may yer lum reek. 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 youtube.com/shorts/p_Pcc...

Please know it's never too late to reach out if you're experiencing abuse, you deserve safety and respect. Resources here: For women: womensaid.org.uk For LGBTQ+ specific help: www.galop.org.uk For men: mensadviceline.org.uk If you are worried you are perpetrating abuse: respectphoneline.org.uk

Thinking of those for whom this time of year is difficult, unsafe, or demoralising. Domestic abuse rates rise around the holidays, and it can feel impossible to cope, particularly when you can't be honest about what you're experiencing, and there's an added expectation of joy.

Join us as we launch our album, 10 pieces of poetry set to the incomparable music of Paul Leonard-Morgan, performed by a string orchestra with Clarsach and Guitar. It's such an honour to work with Paul, it has truly brought me so much joy. Tickets here 👇 www.celticconnections.com/event/1/len-...

Tonight was the annual For Them All vigil, held by Scottish Women's Aid to honour the women and children who have died as a result of domestic abuse. The leading cause of death for those who have experienced abuse is suicide, an average of two women a week are killed by a current or former partner.

Thank you all for supporting my work. Hitting the bestseller list for a book of poetry that allows me to explore the abuse I experienced shows the power and strength of community.

Thanks to everyone who's been getting in touch, been dealing with non-poetry related dangers for the last wee while, trying my best to swim against the current. Thanks for the reminder that I am never without community, and thanks to the people out there who help keep survivors of abuse safe. 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Got to speak to a group of young people about advocacy, surviving domestic abuse, and mental health. They were the same age I was when I was able to leave, really put things into perspective for me. Forever grateful to the shoulders, ears, and voices that helped me escape, heal, and stay safe. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙
