the end of summer

I haven't yet shown you my new ride! This bad boy costed less than two yearly transport passes in my city and can bring my ass anywhere I want to go - faster than a car and for free. Fits in a train and improves my health! I fitted it with custom grips, handlebar, stem, u-lock and trunk.

basically me,

A second postage stamp design for my Graphic Arts class; this time I created one featuring Keo, the creator of *Dawn Chorus*. I really admire his work and his music, I hope he likes it! :3! #DawnChorusVN

Today I watched Fjord (2026) - the opening film at the local film festival. It was a confused, infuriating experience - a film claiming to reject fundamentalism and provide no easy answers, yet reading as an ode to conservative religious defiance. I think it's actively harmful. Here's why:

The joys of summer. Lecsó and caponata done and frozen.

I got diagnosed with ADHD this week. So much of my earlier life makes sense now in retrospect - there's no area it didn't have an impact on. My life would look very different now if I got diagnosis and treatment earlier, not at 31 - but would I be writing Dawn Chorus if I kept my job? I don't know.

it's a new dawn it's a new day it's a new life

I spend the first two months of this year in Athens. There, I asked myself what Greece meant to me. I came back with no definitive answers but reflections - on sunsets and the simple pleasure of reading a book at a cafe during one. May this madness of the city stand forever and once again prosper.

Making lecsó is a labour of love

one day to ADHD diagnosis

reading stories about semen retention is my new favourite hobby

probs only gonna listen to it on my birthdays, I'm paranoid about damaging it in any way

I'm 31 now Apparently being in my 30s means I'm in my fourth decade of life??

the problem with writing something like this is that you're just second guessing your picks forever... why did i do THE WOMAN WHO RAN for the obligatory hong, obviously it should have been BY THE STREAM

As time passes, I find myself reaching out for the same few albums more and more, over and over again. Perhaps I'm getting older and it's a sign of stagnation. Perhaps I simply need familiarity and stability. I need -home-. I value familiarity more and more - a 180° from my younger self.

last week I spent in stockholm, the trip culminating in midsommar celebration in skansen. I have a huge backlog of things I want to post here but haven't yet sorted through - in the meantime, have these. first batch is all stockholm.
