‘Only Murders in the Building’ is my new comfort show.

Plot holes aside, it’s like a warm cup of tea at the end of the day.

Don’t Look Rob Lowe in the Eyes Kate, 34. Los Angeles, USA.

This was a much needed lighter interview.

Part of me wants to move to LA and join the wannabe rat race.

If I do.. I’ll avoid Rob Lowe.

The Music They Stole Asif, 21. Bamyan, Afghanistan.

No doubt the hardest interview I’ve ever done.

What would you do if your life’s passion was made illegal?

This happened to Asif, read his story below. ⬇️

you a probably correct tbh. Alas, I need to connect on some level.

I’ll just mute anyone doing politics.

I have a Patreon.
It is a bit of an experiment but I will be using it to upload art that I'd post to my blog but also art that doesn't really fit anywhere.
I am also trying to raise money to not get evicted :)

Downloaded #bluesky to escape the constant political narrative on Twitter.

I may have made a mistake. There’s no escaping it.

Thank you Reese for sharing.

I need a vodka.

Just finished second interview with an Afghan man who is ‘pro Taliban.’

The contrast between these stories has made my head spin. I need a lie down.

I just finished the hardest interview of my life with a young man from Afghanistan.

He was a musician before the Taliban took over and he was sharing how his life has now changed.

God I’m grateful to be free to express myself in my country. This one is going to be hard to write up.

Snow in December is a fairytale. Snow in February is a bother.

I guess we all have a correct time and place.
