Fabricate February
In the interest of challenging myself, I’ve decided to make up challenges for the months. January was fitness-related, so now I’m settling on Fabricate February, where I plan to make stuff I wouldn’t normally make.  My goals for this month are: paint a canvas, bake a bread I’ve never tried to bake before, write a song (including music) and make a video that isn’t...

by name and nature: #StopACTA →
xntrek: Hi there, Australia, without us knowing it, signed an international treaty that will destroy an open internet around the world. Now, the European Parliament is our last hope to stop it. Whilst it is too late to do anything here, and while we may not be able to protest in Europe, we can help by… Signal boost!

The idea of a multiverse, in which parallel versions of me exist as a result of different outcomes or decisions, fills me with a tremendous sympathy. Poor alternate versions of me. Somewhere among your infinite potential number sits the alternate me who, despite his allegiance to my actual timeline, made a different choice when it came to picking adventure over despair. You poor bastard. Which,...

“I don’t hate humanity. I think humanity is amazing. But it’s like...”
– Me, on why stories like the tale of Syliva Likens or Marina Abramovic’s Rhythm 0, 1974 don’t rob me of my faith in humanity.

Sign the petition against 'Gay Panic' law in QLD →
stfuconservatives: torturedtangledhearts: From Paul Kelly - A loophole in Queensland law allows people accused of murder to defend themselves in court by claiming “gay panic” — that is, if someone who they think is gay “comes onto” them, the sheer panic they feel is partial justification for murder. This law belongs in the dark ages —affirmed by the High Court in the notorious Green case in...

In which we point out the landmarks of Insomnia
I’m drinking scotch and Drambuie in a lovely crystal glass at 3:46 am. I’ve been up since about 9am yesterday and I don’t think I’m getting back to sleep. I haven’t had a cigarette in 24 hours, so despite feeling virtuous, I’m also jumpy and would worship as a god whoever brought me chocolate, for at least five minutes. I have no junk food in the house. You can...

In which our narrator recaps the last year with...
One does not simply walk into Mordor. That’s how the start of this year felt - massive challenges ahead, and a wasteland to navigate, both emotional and social.  And then, thanks to Hugh MacLeod’s Evil Plans, my inheritance (and the debt-free consequences of it coming through), I decided to do something else.
