Rounding off the year, I've gone back over some artful things that interested me, from films to books and games. Maybe you'll find them interesting, too.
I hope you had a lovely 2025.

Want some recommendations for cool stuff?
In my latest Substack post I go over some things I enjoyed in May: a book about trauma, love and working class life, a role playing game, and an anime about ghosts and aliens (obviously).

Finally finished my latest Substack post:
'Who should be allowed to talk about politics?'
- The answer, of course, is everyone. But try telling us that when someone actually does.

Hope everyone is doing okay. I can see a lot of posts on here with rage (rightfully so), hurt and confusion (it doesn't make sense).
But also a lot of hope, and there are reasons to be hopeful.
The lovely creative community on here is what attracted me to sign up. Let's keep making nice things.
