April

I was unable to attend my brother’s wedding on the other side of the world. He and his bride broadcast the wedding on the internet for me and other family members to virtually attend. It was wonderful to experience the wedding from my laptop, the next best thing to being there. My heart sank when a random idiot commented that my brother’s wife was ugly, she had a face like a horse and there was no way on the world he could ever fuck her but he would fuck one of the bridesmaids. Most of my family were watching. I was devastated that someone could say such cruel things on such a special day.

I posted a jokey message on social media about being given the smaller portion of 2 food items because I was a woman and the person after me was my brother. Woke up the next day to find this tweet jumped on by trolls who are continuing to send me sexist and fat-shaming hate. It’s enough to drive me off the social network.
