Welcome to my site.

Recently I swapped my social media for a blog and this site. Over the last few years I have grown increasingly disenfranchised with the major social platforms and have slowly stepped away from them completely. While I love the idea of platforms that promote connection and community, I just don't think the social media we have today delivers on any of this.

So these days I'm focusing on sharing things in simple, non-addictive ways that don't encourage me to stay glued to my screens. For me this looks like keeping my own platforms pretty minimalist.

Outside of the internet, my life involves:
— Reading as much as I can and tracking it in my book journal
— Spending time exercising, either training for a run or being in the gym
— Listening to and playing music (I play guitar! ... badly)
— Journalling! I've been journalling for over a decade now
— Writing - I love sharing my thoughts in blog posts or writing sci-fi or fantasy short stories
— Spending time with friends
— Board games
— Taking blurry film pics on my point and shoot & making very crappy water colour paintings
— A morning coffee and an afternoon cup of tea (green, peppermint or chamomile)
— Being incapable of ever saying no to an almond croissant

This site is really just a fun way for me to collect things in one place and track things like my media consumption or share some short stories, etc. I guess I'm pretty "offline" these days, and I keep my own site intentionally "boring", but I love keeping up with some of my favourite YouTubers and Podcasters, and I love visiting other sites on Neocities and seeing what insanely creative things other people are doing.
