Reading Time: 5 minutes Note: This post has extra spicy wording. If you’re easily offended, go away. I’m fucking annoyed. ADHD is a problem for me, and I’m sure if he has been diagnosed with it, is a problem for Mr Laming also. It, if left untreated, has some nasty effects on your life. Those effects you might ask? …
Reading Time: 3 minutes As some of you may already know, and others may not, I made the choice to resign my position as Secretary of VicBears recently. It wasn’t a decision that I made lightly, but one that I decided to do for a number of reasons. Given that there’s been a bit of controversy around VicBears, and …
Reading Time: 3 minutes As I approach my 30th (fine, 32nd) birthday, and since moving back to Perth, I’ve been thinking more on the relationships that didn’t eventuate to anything because I ended them.

Reading Time: 5 minutes For quite some time I’ve had ideas bouncing around in my head, of a science fiction universe and stories within that universe.

Reading Time: 2 minutes If you thought 2020 was a fantastic year, please let me know where you got the drugs from.
