Still reeling from seeing Chappell Roan (and JADE!) on Tuesday, my photos are gash, but the gig was sooooo good! (Thanks to Jules for the ticket as a birthday present! 💖).
I'm so happy I got to see Chappell, the staging was incredible and she's just an absolute legend, pure power pop! 💕💕💕

After a long, long period of dealing with life, (un)employment, mental health problems including a post-PhD nervous breakdown and mystical/spiritual crises, I'm finally fully focused on finishing my monograph, Making Time.

This is why it's so difficult to move away from monopolistic tech companies - the alternatives are also shite.
Offering AI as an alternative when your (checks notes) entire search engine (which is, y'know, the WHOLE THING) is down just isn't doing it for me 🤔

It's Time. Halfway thru my winter retreat and coping with the realities of chronopathy (or 'time sickness') I've decided after a break of over a year to go back on the mirtles.
