Reasons I haven’t been writing

I’m back… kinda — Hey Medium Fam. I’ve missed you all, and I’m not really 100% back yet, but I’m getting there slowly. I’m easing my toes into the scorching onsen that is ‘writing’. You know, it burns your soul in a way that is both blissful and agonising. So to start off, here…

A Letter to my ‘Sisters in Blue’ 👮‍♀️

Reflections on 11 years in a toxic sludge police culture — Why I’m writing this article I don’t often talk about policing in a public forum like this. And I’ve been absent from Medium — I’ve been sick. Most cops I know can relate to rarely sharing anything online about our work. Let alone about our incredibly fucked up work culture. …

Being Almost Normal Was Nice While It Lasted

Back to being depressed and tired all the time — I was so inspired by an article I read back in October by James Warwick, exploring 24 hours without his disability, that I followed suit and wrote my own. As two people with very different disabilities, the things we envisioned doing in those 24 hours were fairly different. But I…

How I’ve Pre-Grieved Since Childhood

Help me decide if it’s a good or bad thing — When I was younger, I was terrified of family dying. I truly thought that every year would be my gran’s last, after she had her first stroke. And then she had her second stroke. …

He’s okay, by the way — As I write this, it’s 5.00 am on Thursday 28 October 2021. My Dad is in hospital He is reclined on the barouche with his eyes closed, hands cupped together on his chest.
