This will be my internet home away from home; a place to bust my writing chops. I'm interested in lots of things, you never know what's going to pop up here.

When I was a kid, my dad brought me to a friend's house up north. It was a nice place, with lots of trees and wildflowers. Before we left, she let me take a book from her library. I chose a book about identifying local wildflowers and...
Hi, if you're poking around my site and notice there's missing elements, I cancelled by Bear subscription until I get paid!
looking at the bearblog carnival and realising that I haven't felt passionate about anything in a long, long time.
Nobody really talks about radio anymore. And by "nobody", I mean people my age. Speaking of people my age, I've been noticing this uptick in content about curation. Its the mechanic behind online aesthetics and microtrends1, which is in...
📌 My view (unfortunately my back is turned to this) It was way more relaxed than I thought it would be! It's a small team. Other than setting up (which was a royal pain), it was a really good day.

If something stinks, I'm your "man". I can smell incoming sickness1, the compost a day or two before it needs to go out, when someone has recently been in a room. Winter has a scent too2, and so does tap water, depending on how it's been...
Even though I've got a lot of zine ideas cooking1, I've been working on one about my favourite foods. It's going to be called, "foods I could eat my body weight in". Doing the illustrations for the foods has been a great for easing...
I've finally been reprieved of the grind!
Stream of conciousness excerpt from my journal: 15/4/2026 I was on Pinterest yesterday and saw a Tumblr post that said something like: Today I wanted to read 20 pages of my book and [do something else]. Instead I spent that time...
I'm "apart" of the communications team at my church, and during a one-on-one Zoom meeting with my boss (pastor's wife). She accidentally clicked on a tab showing ChatGPT's response to her asking to write an announcement for the death of...
