I'm back.

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
Otters
I write here today... because I otter.Wheyyyoooo!Trigger Warning - Slavery, Allusions to sexual violenceThat was likely the best part of this little ramble, as I try to both collect and construct my thoughts about life and all its recent mysteries. Since last we spoke, much has happened. Or has it? Is my nut just wilting? … Continue reading Otters
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
Review -Mastersystem – Dance Music, Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, Adam Buxton Bowiewallow and added bonus – tangential reflections on life, death, etc.
I recently wrote, in a bit of a fraught state, about the death of Scott Hutchinson. Like many other fans I've tried to excavate the loss of a hero by pouring over the archives of alternate projects, B-sides, interviews and the old classics. The more I watch and listen, the more things seem to make … Continue reading Review -Mastersystem – Dance Music, Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, Adam Buxton Bowiewallow and added bonus – tangential reflections on life, death, etc.
Theory and Praxiszzzz
As I attempt to synthesise a semesters worth of sociological theory alongside a semester of unwritten posts and scribbles from a notebook, do not lose heart. There will be a point to all of this. The life of an anonymous, poorly-subscribed-to online lifestyle brand is a lonely one. The nature of living our creative existence … Continue reading Theory and Praxiszzzz
Interview: Reflections on an imagined future
This marks the first of a series of interviews which may or may not happen. This, the first, comprises of Mr Hummels, synonymous editor at large of soon to be global MrHummels.com (Formerly or still MrHummels.wordpress.com) grilling the future Mr Hummels who is endowed with contentment, fulfillment and success. The interview is meta as fuck … Continue reading Interview: Reflections on an imagined future
Autumn
The first shades of Autumn have swept in recently, you may have noticed? In the back of my head I've dreaded the moment when the light leaves our days and the damp, cool air returns. The summer has been fraught with wishes and movement. I've been back up to Edinburgh, making changes to life here … Continue reading Autumn
Boiling Point
I've been sitting here for around five minutes contemplating what exactly to write. I know what I would like to say, but not how to say it. I've just read some short stories by a good friend of mine which are excellent, the type of excellent which act like a frag grenade and stun any … Continue reading Boiling Point
Will Self and Slavoj Zizek in Conversation
This muggy, rainy London evening I had the opportunity to take in two intellectual titans debate. The topic for debate was something which has been in the forefront of my own mind for sometime and has been brought up by those I'm close to also. It's something you've probably considered recently too - "How the … Continue reading Will Self and Slavoj Zizek in Conversation
