Hello impalas,
How’s everything?
The new book is finally finished, and it is with medium pleasure that I’ll be sending out the pdf and ereader version with this post. A new video should be up very shortly too.
I’m going to rant for a bit about relief and writing and whatno...

Hello terrapins,
Just to say I'm still alive and new nonsense is coming shortly, didn't want you to think I'd gone into crypto scams or something. I've attached an audio note to this post as an explanation for why stuff is taking an age. It's really one of those messages that goes on for a...

Well, as mentioned and threatened a week or so back, I hope it's quite all right to charge you with this one. New stuff is most certainly in the works – rather excited to share it with you as always. There are also a few silly video essays (or rants...I guess...?) I'll be p...

Hello octopods,
(Octopod is the Bulgarian for octopus if you're curious. Not sure if I've used this one before but I've always liked it, sounds quite sci-fi.)

Hello buzzards,
How are you? Is that cough better? Have you arrived at Ultimate Truth yet?
Me neither. Well, I hope you liked the last video. I think that finally put me off making long-form stuff for a while. Perhaps you already know how these things go. You have a silly idea you're ...

This isn't a notification you're being charged or anything like that, just thought I'd check in and let you know what nonsense is coming next.

Hello house mice,
I thought I'd throw an audio message your way this time around for the sake of variety. If you understandably can't be bothered to give it a listen, it's just me wishing you a very merry Christmas, talking about myself to an indulgent extreme, and making some recommendatio...

How are you? I see you've redecorated - I love the new art deco aesthetic. Brave choice.

Hello astrolabes,
I appreciate that an astrolabe isn't an animal, and I hope you can forgive the departure from the usual greeting tradition, but astrolabes are pretty cool actually (a bit like an ancient mechanical star chart if you didn't know) and if someone called me a...

I hope you enjoyed the new video, or didn't hate it anyway. As promised to Patreon folks months ago, you'll find the new book of poems attached to this message – please don't even think about buying it. It's a bit counter-intuitive, but editing seems to get harder the smal...
