The good news: I'm writing.
The better news: more fabulous people have agreed to contribute to the menopause anthology I'm editing for @unbounders 👉🏽unbound.com/books/bloody-h…

Pledging your support now for #BloodyHell is like pre-ordering the anthology: you get a copy of the book once it's published and other fantastic treats like mugs, art work, totes, or half an hour with me talking to you and your mates about the book.Pledge! unbound.com/books/bloody-h…

Because unlike that Frankenstein of a disaster of a show, we are not scared of saying "MENOPAUSE" nor being weird about it vogue.com/article/and-ju… #BloodyHell

The women in And Just Like That are my age: 54/55.
They just glossed over Carrie & Miranda's menopause and we only got to see Charlotte gloating how easy hers was only to get a "flash" period. This past week has been absolute fucking hell: night sweats & insomnia. #BloodyHell

I keep watching that show just to see how worse it can get.

If you've got the leader of Scotland talking about her menopause--because hello she's 51 and it's a fucking thing--how are they not able to say MENOPAUSE on a show that in the 90s claimed to be blah blah blah so brave?!

You know how I've been falling asleep in the middle of my fucking hellscape of night sweats and insomnia?

I listen to short erotica stories.

But the thing is, just as they're getting all hot and steamy, I'm asleep and I keep missing the--ahem--climax of the story. #BloodyHell.

And then when I'm awake again two hours later, I'm like "Hey, how did that threesome end in that story I was listening to?" and I turn it on again, only to fall asleep just as they're getting into and etc etc etc.

It's been a fucking week. #BloodyHell
