You'll have to indulge me with this one. I went down several philosophical rabbit holes while processing my rage about generative AI, and the way it is being marketed to us. Is this a little unhinged? Maybe. I'm just sick of being told to stop using
Today I would like to boldly make the case that Australian dark comedy/crime show Deadloch is the best show on television. Relatedly, I also think it is the most woke show. By that I mean that Deadloch is a show that features a cast of queer and/or Indigenous
I got my first mole map done about a year ago, because it seemed like a thing that grownups should do. Particularly redheaded grownups, who are prone to unforgivable inconsistency with sun protection.

Increasingly I seem to use this blog/newsletter as a sort of public diary. I've found it to be immensely helpful - if that's not your thing though then maybe skip this one. I have lived in a lot of houses (or more often flats, or awkward

This will be my last Austen-related essay for a while! After the previous one, I felt I needed to provide my own practical guide to Austen's adaptations and retellings (though it'll inevitably be out of date by the end of the year, as there'
I had to sneak this one in, in the month of Jane Austen's 250th birthday. Happy new year! See you in 2026. I am the proud owner of 77 copies of Pride and Prejudice. I also have 70-80 copies of Jane Austen’s other novels, or books

Content warning: themes of suicide, self-harm, death. No graphic descriptions. About the title: It’s a slight misquote from the play Angels in America, spoken by Prior when he believes he’s about to die. This speech remains one of my all-time favourite pieces of writing. I still
