June 2025
Travelled to Ōtepoti to visit YOURS, an Anarchist co-op. It was very cool. I screened my short film 'Nobody WINZ' and met a number of disgruntled Work and Income employees.
Burned an Ashen Faggot to mark midwinter.
May 2025
At the moment I am:
Spending a lot of time surfing the internet as I re-discover the indie web. Learning to do HTML badly.
Taking a big huge break from working in the film industry. I am thinking about how I can translate my incomplete film projects into other formats. i.e. how can I make stuff without it being soooo expensive and resource intensive?
Raising my cute puppy Sunny
Healing up. Recovering from Long Covid and Autistic Burnout.
Marking Gaelic seasonal transitions. In the Southern Hemisphere we've just had Samhain, which marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of Winter. It's also the time to remember the dead, so I went and visited my great-great-grandparents graves in Taamaki-nui-a-Rua / Dannevirke.
