Had a very lovely chat about being non binary x
(1/4)
At the end of January I had a completely unplanned conversation about my gender identity with Michael Reade on @LMFMRADIO
I’ve never spoken about my own identity in this way before and I have to commend Michael in his patience in understanding and willingness to learn…
Between Russia, Texas and Ireland being Ireland, social media is not going to be an easy space to exist in. If anyone needs to talk or needs signposting to additional supports, please please reach out, my dms are open x

Spiking is a serious crime
It is important you have the tools to act if you are targeted by this crime or a witness to it
Spot the signs and know how to help friends you think may have been spiked

The recent events surrounding spiking is reflective of the wider issues we have in this country surrounding consent. Is isn’t the responsibility of any individual not to get assaulted, it is the responsibility of potential perpetrators not to assault.
"Societally we have a very strange attitude towards discussing disclosure of misconduct. I think we are moving slowly in the right direction."

My landlord installed a webcam that he could watch on his phone to ‘keep an eye on the house’ when I was in first year and I found it pointed at the bathroom door when I got out of the shower one day

Some student houses are a thing of nightmares.
Dark, cold, damp with mouldy walls and infestations. 🐀

I spend fourth year (including the first half of lockdown) living in a converted one room granny flat in someone’s back garden, which was basically a glorified shed.
There is not a doubt in my mind that the damp and contributed to my health issues in final year.

I was honoured to speak at the launch of the Speak Out Tool this morning. This new resource is an incredible step forward in the on-going discussion surrounding consent,sexual violence, bullying, and harassment in higher education.
A huge congratulations to all involved!
Today we launch a new resource to help support students & staff who have experienced sexual harrassment or bullying in third level. The aim is to empower & support people. Thank you to @ThePCHEI & @TheUSI, @hea_irl for all the work on this.
