‘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.

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.

A fun little piece dropping Friday.

It was a nice interview to do after a couple of heavy Afghanistan stories.

Hit the link below and get it delivered on Friday.

Made myself Bruschetta for lunch today.

No doubt the hardest interview I’ve ever done.

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

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.

Well today was exhausting but beautiful.

The western world may be a political nightmare, but very thankful to be born here.

Two Afghan interviews coming over the next week.

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.

You know, I might not agree with everyone on Bluesky… but it sure as hell feels kinder.

I want to connect with fellow creatives.

I’ve found interviewing people from all over the world has sparked a desire for me to follow other people creating.

If you are an artist, writer, dreamer etc. comment below. I’ll follow. 👏

My favorite quotes from my interview with @tessfowler.bsky.social.

How quickly can I book a flight to L.A?
