After years of muddling through the worlds of journalism and creative writing, it felt like things finally began to come together in 2025. I'm so grateful to have found many wonderful homes for my words and opportunities to collaborate with a growing literary community!

Live footage of me trying to write a new ghost story that's also kind of Sex and the City fan fiction and wondering if it's ever going to come together or will it just keep spiralling out of control?

Over 850 days since international journalists allowed into Gaza.
Over 250 Palestinian journalists killed in that same time.
No United Nations fact-finding or International Criminal Court investigators given access.
Judges, prosecutors, UN experts and Palestinian NGOs are instead sanctioned.

The legal fight to open Gaza to foreign press has failed. It’s time to change course
As Israel’s Supreme Court continues enabling the government’s media ban, Palestinian journalists are paying the price. Further legal efforts are futile.

C'mon folks, only 721 people to go and we've passed the Irish threshold. If you haven't signed this already, why not?
It's an important EU citizen led initiative that needs 7 countries to pass their threshold, and then the EU government machine is forced to talk about it.

Activists unveiled a giant portrait of five-year-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab in Barcelona on the second anniversary of her killing.
Hind was trapped in a car and targeted at close range by Israeli forces in Gaza after they had killed her relatives.

After recently coming to live with a 14 year old who couldn't give two hoots about Harry Potter, it's honestly quite reassuring to know that the franchise will live and die with millenials who refuse to reckon with their nostalgia (trauma)
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”
