Like buses, or fascist uprisings, wait ages for a post and three come along at once. There is so much to say. And, so little time to say it in. I've not seen through the one job I had to do. Not fix the bed, or the shelf. I did those, despite last nights melodrama. … Continue reading A quickie

Rasberry Ripple
Buckle up for my most rangey piece yet!Trigger warning - casual references to suicide and anal sex are made. Not together.I make it back before the rain starts. The streetlights come on before it gets dark. The flat is as I left it, in the early stages of abandonment. The early stages of reclaim, the … Continue reading Rasberry Ripple
Ripples
I'm by the water now. Not close enough to touch, but close enough to see it shine on the horizon. I would dip a toe in and paddle if I were closer but it's a fair walk. Perhaps I'll make it down one of these days, I'd like that. To feel the water lap round … Continue reading Ripples
Running the numbers
There is a black cat at the window. The cat has precipitated my morning. In order to let the cat in I have to change out of my pajamas and dressing gown. My partner is terribly allergic to cats so any trace will bring her out in hives. In my day pajamas, I open the … Continue reading Running the numbers
Efficiencies
Or, on the writing of 100 posts and the consumption of a million contents.It dawned on me recently that the last post here, Growth, degrowth, regrowth, didn't actually focus on any of those topics. I had intended to write something witty in relation to the winter budget and tie it to the site, but flat … Continue reading Efficiencies
Growth, degrowth, regrowth
My friends and I used to smoke cannabis repeatedly and complain about it's effects but ultimately come to the same conclusion - We didn't know if we'd be smarter if we didn't smoke as much cannabis as there was no way of knowing. It's a stoner logic which reassures you, but shouldn't probably be applied … Continue reading Growth, degrowth, regrowth
And you thought you had it bad…
As the world veers towards Nuclear or climate annihilation I want to let it be known that Mr Hummels had a rotten sequence of events happen to him. But that won't keep him down. Mr Hummels is writing this for posterity's sake. The creative act, in this instance, writing, is a futile one. To write … Continue reading And you thought you had it bad…
Mr Hummels strikes again…
You are supposed to imagine yourself at the centre of the panopticon, watching over the others. I'm not sure the other perspectives were never really considered when old Bentham came up with the Panoption, barring the notion that the others knew you could be watching at any time. Beyond that... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯I'd have liked to work … Continue reading Mr Hummels strikes again…
AGM Transcript: Coronavirus (Covid-19) and San Jose del Pacifico Trip Report
AGM Transcrit Mr Hummels - Introductory remarks As I've pursed over the dwindling fortunes of Mr Hummels, I've come to realise that certain things will either happen, or as the case may be, they won't. Equally, it can be said that certain things will happen when you think that they won't, or won't happen when … Continue reading AGM Transcript: Coronavirus (Covid-19) and San Jose del Pacifico Trip Report
Welcome back, Mr Hummels!
After a brief respite, there was little else we could do other than invite him back. There is something here which smells like the unwanted new movie franchise, Mr Hummels strikes again. Mr Hummels rides! Mr Hummels goes hard. Wheeled out like an old veteran, except that we still demand active service. Also, veterans offer poignant … Continue reading Welcome back, Mr Hummels!
