Yesterday marked a year since the publication of my book, Winner Stays On, with Pitch Publishing.
After a few months of sleep I decided to try my hand at freelancing and have since worked with FT Weekend, British GQ, WIRED, The Mill, MUNDIAL & more.
Here's to keeping moving forwards in 2025 🤞

Pure barista-core from me today. T-shirt tucked into suit trousers, trucker hat on my head. "Samosa Club Berlin" sticker on the back of my laptop. Oh, and I'm working as a barista. It's quiet, thus the tweet.

So much Musk-lore is too dangerous/scary to really laugh at. But thank god we'll always have Cybertrucks. (And the people who bought them).

The northernmost record store in the world is in the Arctic Circle, at the top of Norway. The southernmost is at the bottom of New Zealand's South Island. As of about five minutes ago, it is my life's ambition to write a travel book visiting different record shops, journeying between the two.

There's a much, much more interesting article to be written on the Gatekeeping Of Guinness. It's mad to see how many folk portray one of the best known drinks in the world as some secret, underground ritual.

This will be the year that Guinness loses its cool. Cheers to that! | Lauren O’Neill

All I have to add to the current WFH discourse is this -
My girlfriend is cuddled up under my shoulder watching The Elephant Man and our cat is asleep on my lap. I am working on the laptop. It's great.

Finally getting around to reading some HST, as is a rite of passage for any white male writer in their mid-20's. The surprising thing is how bloody good it is! Most of the essays in here are worlds more interesting than the self-indulgent excess that I'd expected. Lovely clear sentences too.

I dropped down another day at my day job this year, freeing up more time to work freelance. Scary to not have the guaranteed cash but it's so energising having the extra time!!
