Happy New Year, my friends—
As the calendar turns, I find myself thinking less about time and more about people. About you. About the quiet, steadfast, often unseen ways you have held me and Rebecca up when my own strength faltered.
You stood by me through illness, through fear, through days when the world felt unbearably small and nights that stretched on without answers. You read my words when I wasn’t sure I still had a voice. You believed in my stories when I questioned whether they mattered. Some of you sent messages. Some of you simply stayed. And somehow, that was enough to keep me breathing, writing, hoping.
If I am still here—still loving, still creating, still trying—it is because of the grace you extended without being asked. You reminded me that kindness is not loud, but it is powerful. That love doesn’t always arrive with solutions, but it shows up anyway and refuses to leave.
This new year arrives carrying both ache and promise. I don’t pretend to know what it will bring. But I do know this: I will step into it with gratitude stitched into every breath, carrying your compassion with me like a talisman. You have left fingerprints on my life, and I will spend whatever time I have left trying to pass that same kindness forward.
May this year be gentle with you. May it surprise you with small miracles. May you feel seen, loved, and never alone.
From the deepest place in my heart—thank you for walking this road with me.
Happy New Year.
Michael, Rebecca and all of the Furbabies. 💙

Cuts to disability benefits would be catastrophic. Join @scope and add your name to show the Government we will not tolerate further cuts. Save our lifeline 📢 campaigns.scope.org.uk/page/165719/pe…

This is a serious risk from #AssistedDying legislation.
Once we accept that suicide is a reasonable response in desperate circumstances, the basis of #suicideprevention generally is undermined.
Louise Whelan@LouiseW_psych
Legalising assisted dying is in direct conflict with suicide prevention. Evidence show that where assisted dying was introduced non-assisted suicide increased. NSW Australia - suicides among over 65s increased by 11% after introduction of assisted dying 1/

Thank you @UofGlasgow for bestowing upon my mum the honorary degree of doctor of the University of Glasgow. This has brought her so much joy in the final beats of her life. Janey is so honoured, and I am so immensely proud of her. Congratulations Doctor Godley.

@OurCofELike I love dipping into Have you got your s**t together?” With Caitlin O’Ryan. She gets some really interesting people in to interview and is a natural. Highly recommended

@stevejones1702 Brilliant thoughts here. I can’t help thinking that fundamentally we don’t trust each other to look after us as we die. A chasm of mistrust leads to individuals deciding they need to take control themselves out of fear or helplessness. Holy mother pray for us

The horrifying reality of being a woman, perfectly summarised by @_CaitlinORyan
If you give even the slightest shit about women, watch it all. This is what it’s like.

@stevejones1702 We watched it and my OH just muttered “Tory lite” then we changed channel. Nothing to see there.

Just watching #Starmer bowing the knee before international capitalism. Bucket to hand.

Women shouldn’t have to wait any longer for protection from abuse. There’s never been more need for a Prime Minister to take action. Will you sign Refuge's open letter now to make women and girls’ safety a political priority? campaign.refuge.org.uk/page/150951/pe…
