Writing - Journalism - Essayism

I have a special interest in scientific communication, memes and Internet communities.

I also happen to be bi-national 🇮🇪🇫🇷 as well as just plain bi ⚤.
It is outdated, no longer supports anything except Maps (barely) and it acts as s Hotspot. I fucking love it.

It's all writing. Every second thought. Every doubt. Every feverish thought, away from the page. All writing.

I had my first tattoo experience today. The art is by @Icarus_tattoo (he's over on Instagram) from Bordeaux (FR). I couldn't be happier. #tattoo #firsttattoo #newleaseonlife #moon #sun

Getting this old iPod working again is a personal victory I'll remember all my life. It's just one of those little things that give happiness. #oldtech #oldipod #ipod

Does anyone find that getting stuck into intense repetitive tasks (like sorting #MTG cards for example 😬) starts off great. It scratches the brain in just the right way then it becomes an intense task you can't stop even if you want to and you feel sort of hung over..? #mentalhealth #cptsd #atypical

What a bizarre way to settle your paws...

Not a massive fan of Starbucks on principle but they had a #bisexual tumbler, I need to be motivated like a 4year old to drink more water and the #cat bloody well approved my choice so...🤷‍♀️

I've started some tests for a #visual #storytelling of my #burnout, subsequent dive into research on #furrys (yes) & how it helped me get my head out of the water. Using #watercolours for #art is really fun. Making a #visualnovel is daunting but I can't wait to see where this project goes. #WIP

Since I got sick I've been #writing 3 pages a day. On these pages you'll find #stories, complaints, weather observations, and in short, whatever slides off the surface of my brain that day. I have consistently done this more than work on the #graphicnovel I'm making. IDK what to make of this.

Now it's all pointless geometry.

German bunkers litter the Atlantic coastline of southwest France. They were never used. Now they just sit there. I spent my childhood next to these concrete monsters. They're a reminder that even reinforced concrete gets claimed in the end. #WWII #History #AtlanticOcean

A moderately better day for the book and pen hoarder in me.

Research helper on hand. So what do you think of the colour swatches Petite Souris ?

I spent a day away on a date with myself in #LaRochelle 🇫🇷. While I was there, my black cats manifested themselves repeatedly in my environment, reminding me that being away from home for more than an hour is undignified for a #cat #mum.

I had this weird motif of an inflamed eye heart in my head for years. I sketched it for the first time years ago then painted it on a bag. I just like it.

It might come from somewhere else I have no idea.

In other news, I have a very long cat.

Always a pleasure to log in to othersite. I really hope I can get rid of my own dependence on this platform.

It is a fascinating experience though. How do you ablate a way of communicating you have been dependant on for self expression for over 10 years ?

Some watercolour fruit and veg' from a while back.

Good morning. My #cat looks like failed AI art. Paws ? Tentacles ? Your bet is as good as mine.

So I'm moving from #Instagram and though this platform has a different mechanism, I'd like to share my art here too.

There is a point you reach in a knitting project where the WIP already starts fulfilling it's function 😌 (I really love #knitting please show me what you're up to !!)

Our household invested in an #Arturia #Minibrute2 #synthesiser and, as a non musician, I was very excited to find the "Sounds like the #Bladerunner soundtrack" button (not featured here)
