Last month I had my car stolen. It was two months old. Don’t buy a Toyota, they are easy to get in to; don’t get insurance from Hastings Direct, they are hard to talk to. Bots; robots; humanoids. All lack empathy, like millionaires, like low-paid call centre operatives. Like middle-managers with their eyes on the

In Absentia

Society is the most powerful concoction in the world and society has no existence whatsoever. Virginia Woolf, Orlando Movies; emotions; poetry; memories. I’m confused why being woke is a bad thing.

Challenge the System n’ Break the System

Welcome back. Do you believe that we are conditioned? Well, in this new vloggy-blog-video-blog vlog I discuss the very issue by reading to you an article which I have been unsuccessful in getting published. As a writer, in the community of writers, I get increasingly frustrated by the SILENCE. It’s almost like “can you hear
