It was so hot, that night. I remember the tarmac felt like wax. The moon was full, and the sky was abuzz with some kind of dark, reddish glow. We had plenty of time, so we got coffee at the airport. It was a late flight, but the airport still drifted with its human flotsam and jetsam. It was strangely hushed, as if people had

Today I posted the first video of a new YouTube channel project. I had never made a video before tonight, I had no idea what I was doing. But this channel represents my recovery, my hope to help others, and my gratitude for all who have helped me 🩵

There’s one movie I must dedicate this post to.

Hermit crab scuttles predators everywhere

Rodent nervousness in the presence of non-rodent

Winter recluse, summer shame, absent spring rebirth

Incepting repulsion within the hearts of the sharks in the surf

Solitude sought to lick wounds in isolation, hopeless

Running headlong in pursuit of nothing, flight of silence

Growing old at the bottom of the pond, the...

“Comfort food” @fredhincanada

Since I was a kid my mum has made a meal we call the ‘chicken soup meal’ - it looks kinda like this. After a while she started making it with southern fried chicken and bacon and OMG 🤣 delicious.

One birthday that’s gone down in family history was when I chose it for my birthday meal. My brother had been working

“Jokes” @fredhincanada

Most of what makes me laugh is situational and doesn’t translate into a blog. But there are two one-liners I absolutely love 🤣

Milton Jones: “My neighbour isn’t too well, he keeps having to go to the hospital with concussions. I feel bad for the guy, he only lives a stone’s throw away”

Tim Vine:
