I don’t think I’m the only person who will appreciate this

Triangular diagram labelled The Introvert
Hierarchy of Needs.

Top: Self-actualisation - A completely empty house. An arrow pointing to the house says “Nobody needs anything. Nobody is coming home for hours. Phone on silent.”

The next level is Esteem - Plans getting cancelled. An arrow here says “‘Sorry, we're going to have to rearrange.’ Oh no. That's terrible. I'm devastated.”

Next level: Belonging - One person you actually like. No group chat. No networking. No "let's go round and introduce ourselves." Just one person you can talk absolute shit with.

Fourth level: Safety - An escape route. Own car. End seat. Knowing exactly when the event finishes. A believable reason to leave early.

Bottom of pyramid: Physiological needs - Being left the fuck alone for a bit. Food. Water. Sleep. 45 minutes where nobody speaks to you.

I don’t usually do pub crawl blog posts but here is one about my trip to Sheffield a few weeks ago to go to some favourites I’ve waited too long to revisit. It incudes an ultimate revisit - from more than 40 years ago! pubgallery.co.uk/2026/10/01/r...

These past 3 weeks I’ve moved seamlessly from Crohn’s flare to snotty/chesty cough to bag to bog week, I’m sick of stuff leaking out of my body now, I need a break 🙄

Can I have some legitimate concerns please? Hello, UK government, I have a legitimate concern that temperatures will rise to a level that destroys many already-struggling nations, leading us in to an era of food scarcity wars. And now we wait for Andy Burnham to act on my legitimate concerns😎

Society is weird, because as a lone woman walking around, your experience oscillates between being totally invisible on the pavement so people just walk into you and want you to get out of their way, to being actively hunted prey to men who are so inclined.

My favourite local bar has had to put door closers on the unisex toilets given how many blokes stand there pi$$ing with the door open 😳

My IBD isn’t thanking me for getting pi$$ed yesterday but my mind is thankful for it.

Do you ever just sit there and overthink every single social interaction from the past year even though nothing actually went wrong?

Big day out on the bike yesterday, work up hungry and by lunch time I’d eaten 6 vegan sausages in sandwiches, a packet of Jammy Dodgers and a packet of party rings and was still hungry 😳

I could literally be having the best time, and then out of nowhere my introvert mode kicks in and I’m completely done. Don’t want to talk. Don’t want to be out. Just want to go home and disappear into my room

Bicycles brought unprecedented freedom to many women, creating a change in restrictive clothing, independence of movement and were an iconic symbol of early feminism. #WomensArt

Scientists, insurers & risk assessors are warning that climate collapse will kill up to half the human race this century! But… “Small boats, Harry & Meghan, women’s toilets…” Our kids are looking back with bemusement & disgust from a future that 50% of them won’t survive.

When you think about it, it's actually pretty cool that the UK government has a button they can press to make everyone with a phone immediately shit their pants.

I don't think people quite understand chronic illness, what it's like to "wake up tired" but still have a million things to do. Deciding where to invest your energy as you're operating on 20% of what everyone else has. Even the most basic stuff like washing yourself or making a meal is draining.

After a couple of years break I started watching Outlander again last weekend. I’ve done season 6 and 7, just started season 8 and I’m done, I can’t take any more, I’ll maybe watch it in another couple of years 🙄
