With Thunderous Applause

What a year, huh! What, it's only January? 💀

What's your poison in these interesting times? Mine's, as always, nostalgia. So I've got a short new page about Pierre Sala's designs, in particular his pencil-based furniture. And I've finally finished a page that I've been working on for over year now: my memories of tabletop gaming, which you can find through my about page as well.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I kind of enjoy watching some short-form video content to kill some downtime. I like seeing people's dogs, thrift hauls, fun crafts, as well as the various artful explorations of liminality. Since Tiktok's bizarre automated systems banned my purely passive account, I turned to Instagram. But because of recent events, my experience has gotten a lot worse. The political filter has been kneecapped, and I can no longer view the chronological feed of reels from accounts I follow. What a bummer!

Since that experience has worsened, I've been dabbling with mobile games again. Specifally ones that I can safely turn off at short notice. Slice & Dice ticks all the boxes for me, and I've been playing it quite a bit lately.

An album, then, to fly you away from here. Tiki for the Atomic Age. Written as an escape from a crumbling city, hopefully, it can also help us escape from a world that seems to be crumbling.

To round things off, I've been cleaning up and polishing various bits and bobs of my website. The most noticeable change will be my new logo.
