I feel like I've watched this several times an hour, every hour, since about 2:20pm this past Saturday. UTV.

My story, Glass Womb, has been published by the good people at Blood+Honey! Give it a look! It's loosely based on a short poem I once wrote called 'I am a vending machine, pregnant with a human-shaped man'. Make of this information what you will...

The good people at Kinpaurak published a flash fiction piece I wrote. I initially wanted to write it as a play because I think it would be dead funny as a play, but I have no experience in such matters so, if you produce plays, please do be in touch. https://t.co/tCpDykI5Mf

To me, one of the best lessons we could learn from David Lynch is to stop demanding explanations of every piece of art from the artist who made it and instead let the art talk and decide what it means individually to you. What a richer way to experience the world.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the headline slots on the Pyramid Stage should be reserved exclusively for household (or near household) names. It should be 'the' pinnacle of a music career.
