Keep sharing x
Oh big one, I have been completely stopped from commenting on Bridget’s facebook posts. 👇🏼 see image!
I know that Jenn Has had the same happen to her!
Edited to add apparently it’s not just us- still it speaks volumes doesn’t it!!
Silenced, But Still Speaking
I hit “comment,” not “chaos.”
I hit “truth,” not “troll.”
But they still came down hard,
delete, restrict, remove, control.
Because nothing threatens power
like a mother who won’t shut up.
Nothing terrifies a system
like the sound of lived experience
echoing through their echo chambers.
They call it moderation.
I call it censorship.
They call it policy.
I call it fear,
fear of what happens
when the people they failed
start finding their voices again.
I spoke for children
who have been left waiting in corridors,
for parents drowning in paperwork
while ministers smile for cameras.
I spoke truth,
and truth, apparently,
isn’t welcome under posts
with polished PR lines
and fake empathy.
They can silence your comments
but not your cause.
They can block my account
but not my courage.
They can shut me out
but they can’t shut me up,
because I’ve learned to roar
from the edges.
And i’ll keep roaring.
For the ones who can’t.
For the children who deserve more
than empty promises
and attendance threats.
For the parents who are tired
of fighting systems
that claim to care
while closing their eyes.
Bridget, if you’re listening,
you can restrict the messenger,
but the message will multiply.
You can click “hide,”
but we are still here.
We are the mothers,
the carers,
the advocates,
the ones you underestimated.
We are not your silence.
We are your reckoning.
Michaela.
