Checking in for Pride Sports ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ lock down personal best challenge! ๐พ Safe to say juggling maybe isnโt my forte but I doubled my original record so Iโm happy with that! #LockdownPB

If you killed a man w/ health conditions, you still killed a man. George Floyd couldnโt breathe. 3 officers held him down, & one w/ a recorded, violent history kneed his neck as others helped. They waited 9 minutes for his last breath. This was not an accident. It was murder.




Really US Open Tennis? Where is the respect?

๐ก @wbpictures out of all ways to create fear & horror in the new The Witches Movie you chose to use limb difference. Which is NOT SCARY! This could seriously hurt and marginalise those with limb differences and create misinformed ideas on limb differences. NOT OK! #NotAWitch



Tomorrow is my birthday, but it is also #WorldCancerDay I have set up a birthday fundraiser to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support a fantastic charity that helps people and their families deal with cancer ๐ Please donate if you can. Thank you! facebook.com/donate/1153785โฆ
