Dear Me.
This is a little something I wrote while in a strange place mentally, writing makes me feel better ✍🏻
Dear Me,
Guessing it’s another night of fighting to get to sleep!
Another night of many things going through your head?
No need to answer that we all know that the answer is yes!
Mental health isn’t a fun thing even more so being stuck in one place for so long, only seeing one person and a dog.
Mental health isn’t a fun thing not now & not ever, pushing people aside & not really talking to people while in this situation isn’t helpful BUT talking isn’t something you want to do either incase you say something wrong.
Mental health isn’t a fun thing, don’t bottle it up, open up, let it out, pen to paper, word for word, each small step feels light a single weight lifted.
Dear Me,
Tomorrow is a fresh start, head up & fight on, you can & will get through this!
Love, Me x

2023 The Year of Women and Fridging
2023 was an incredible year for women in film. Between Beyonce and Taylor’s concert movies, Barbie and 1 single woman getting nominated for best director at the Oscars there was a lot to celebrate. But just like with anything the universe seeks balance and in 2023 we nerds also experienced something on page and screen that we should have evolved out of decades ago. In the year of Barbie we had not 1, but 2 incidents of fridging in the comic book universe. Both came from Marvel and both are inexcusable. I would love to celebrate how far representation in this field has come, really I would. But I can not do that if we are still making the same mistakes. I am not going to celebrate that there is now less sexual assault in comics. I am not going to celebrate that fridging is less common. I am not going to celebrate that women are infantilized less often in comics. I will not celebrate less. Not in 2024 when every grown person on the planet should know better. I will not be celebrating less. I will celebrate when women are ALWAYS treated like human beings, fictional or not.
