I wish I didn’t have to write this
I am an artist, not a politician, and would rather speak through creative action than explanatory text
But I find that for several reasons, I must respond to accusations and smears made against me these last couple of weeks
🧵 1/12
Told my husband. His reaction - I hope it wasn’t like a seizure (I have had those before).
Why does his brain instantly go to the worst possible thing?
@Fi79 Considering my entire earnings last year were £5800 would definitely need benefits, and we can’t afford 2 mortgages so I have no idea what we would do about housing.
My husband is SO impatient with our kids. The house feels like he’s perpetually angry. And any time I raise something he either says nothing at all, or blames the kids. I think he was patented very strictly(80’s/90’s) and huge expectations were placed on him as the eldest
I told him I wanted a divorce last summer. His response ‘I don’t think things are that bad.’ Never said anything about it since. I don’t have the capacity to leave. I don’t know what to do.
Recently I’ve made a sort of living photo of spring flowers on my garden steps to help my brain through very dark times. Voles live under the steps & pop up when I put seeds out & a wren visits every day. There’s also a small owl. Hopefully this photo will lift your mood too x🌿

I cannot believe we have to ask our government to stop selling arms to Israel to murder the people of Gaza.
Lobby of MPs ahead of crucial Gaza #CeasefireNOW vote. This couldn't be more urgent! More info here https://t.co/ku7MgvLYna
New. Please report "sorry we are experiencing unusually high call volumes" messages. I want to test if some firms have this for EVERY call. If you call a bank, broadband, mobile, credit card, energy, water, sewerage firm, pls take 30s to report it via https://t.co/iwHdA6L0NL
In some cases it may be a breach of the consumer duty.
