R to @Ryanmax45110146: Also, this ‘estimate’ is hilariously ridiculous and entire fiction. Of course. Like everything else these horrors make up about me.

R to @WaskowskiBrunch: Fixed that for you. (And ‘service’ is literally one of the three guiding principles of twelve step recovery, and my sponsor is a fing diamond human being. I’m truly sad for you that you don’t have that kind of rock solid dependable relationship in your life.)

R to @Ryanmax45110146: They’re obsessive liars who twist everything to fit their soap opera narrative, and some of their behaviour is actually criminal. I’m exhausted by it all.

R to @aaron_txt: Because I tried ignoring their lies and they all repeated them because I didn’t challenge them. I literally can’t win with these truth-twisting, obsessively malicious, anonymous, gaslighting, arseholes.

R to @jaynejm: It’s been making me constantly very unwell for the last two years. It was always there but they latched on ferociously when I got the lockdown TV series and they’re not letting go. Daily, obsessive, abusive, lies. It’s exhausting to be on the end of.

R to @LauraFMcConnell: Best thing I ever did. I’m not sure I’d still be here if it weren’t for this one.

R to @pedrianored: Yes, my ex-partner got it for my birthday years ago (I had previously pawned my guitar and camera to pay the rent and over the two years we were together she gave me one and then the other, which was incredibly thoughtful). I’ve been very slowly learning it, and it’s a beauty.

R to @AntheaRogers: My god, Thankyou. I literally just felt an oomph in my body reading that, like a tectonic plate shifting in there somewhere. Thankyou for sharing this. I suspect i may be consulting it a lot! 🥰

Okay I’ve decided to stop explaining myself to trolls and obsessive liars. Instead, seeing as they seem so INTERESTED in talking about me, I’m just going to reply to their godawful tweets with a link to my lovely new book. May as well harness the obsession into something useful!

R to @lorddarktriad: Well I might as well live down to my reputation. I believe it’s known as ‘reclaiming a slur’.

R to @Brighton_Peer: Sometimes I do have to do a few rounds of ‘to accept the ****s I cannot change, the courage to chin the ones I can’ in my head before the proper one kicks in.

R to @NoNoImSparticus: Mine is one of my best friends, unpaid therapist, stern reality check, the person who bangs on my door if I’m suspiciously quiet to check I’m alive, one of the greatest gifts that recovery + sobriety have given me. I thank God for her and her beautiful big heart every single day.

R to @WaskowskiBrunch: Those were your own words. Sucks when someone takes something you’ve tweeted and manipulates it slightly to make a point, doesn’t it? Welcome a millionth of what it’s like Being Me On The Internet.

R to @BootstrapCook: You barged into MY affairs, I certainly didn’t invite you. Any mild blowback you get for your own behaviour here is an invitation for you to reflect on your part in that. Do you somehow think you’re the only person with a right to reply here + I’ve just got to take the s? Nah.

R to @Brighton_Peer: Metaphorically chin, of course. I wouldn’t want to mess up my hands (any more than they are), they’re kind of vital for my work. ☺️
