My new album “...like butterfly wings” is out today on Anjunadeep’s Reflections label: https://reflections.ffm.to/lalbw.GCN I made this album during a time when I was opening myself back up to a childlike sense of wonder, with all the warmth and discomfort that comes with that process. This project is incredibly precious to me. It’s bittersweet, just the way I like things. It would mean so much to me if you would have a listen <3
I was so excited to see this arrive today! Alchemistresses is a tabletop RPG created by my pal Allison Kyran Cole. I've always been curious about TT RPGs, but didn't know how or where to start. Allison asked me to create the magical transformation theme tune for this last year, and it was the gentle nudge I needed tbh. I played my first one-shot TT RPG last year because of this. I’m super excited to start this one but nervous to run a game myself, I might update here once things are rolling
Decided to update on this: I love the make-believe and the humour, and I think the conflict + memory flashback mechanics are engaging!
It’s my first time running a game, though, so it can feel a little overwhelming. I need to work on my confidence 😅
I love writing, so preparing the sessions hasn’t been an issue so much, but I get caught up during play worrying that I’m not teaching the mechanics well or that the pacing of the gameplay is off or boring.
Also as an introverted person, I feel completely frazzled well into the following day - I hope that part gets better 🥲
oh i just cant help myself! I'm a lover of ambient music!
Another recent obsession because I’m feeling sociable this week. This has been reliably giving me misty eyes on every listen. It also really inspired me to obscure my vocals less in my own recordings. And those sweet, sweet noise rock swells, goddamn.
It’s gonna take me a while to get over this one. Do yourself a favour and click through to read the details about these pieces💕
every single one of my neighbours owns a table saw and you wonder why i’m so irritable.
Making sloooow progress on this fishnet sweater because I’ve been working on a million projects at once
Crying forever. This band pulled my whole universe together. I'm still processing the show. It's hard to accept that this was the last time I'll dance to those songs live with my oldest friends; we met each other because of this band like... 14 years ago now? More? It feels like someone has died. We cried and squeezed each other throughout.
I don't have adequate words but I'm glad I got to say farewell surrounded by the same people. I've had a few blank-slate start-overs in life, which made it even more emotionally powerful. It felt like I was honouring the fact that these friends and this band have been a constant when my life has so few of those. Crying, crying, crying forever.
My partner took these photos cuz I have a rule about not taking my phone out during shows 🧸
I had the pleasure of mastering and contributing a track to this exquisite compilation out today on Interzone Editions. From Interzone: WHAT IS A WORLD THAT IS NOT A THING YET? Interzone, in its perpetual birth, is very proud to present its first various artists compilation: 'Larval Worlds' is an attempt at revealing nascent, amorphous ways of being, Life at its most fragile and intense state, in-between state, egg-state: an attempt, a life, and nothing else.

Got tickets for The Cure, but what a process! Had to register in advance for a lottery, first of all. My partner got picked and I didn't, so I'm glad we both registered. We then had to enter the special code and get in a pre-queue queue. Even then we were not guaranteed tickets, we had to grab them fast as soon as the sale opened. The ANXIETY.
I usually just go to local DIY shows so the process of going to a "big" show or whatever is always so stress-inducing.
All that being said, seeing The Cure and Skinny Puppy within two months of each other is going to fix me. Potion of Everything-Is-Alright-Actually.
Getting more consistent! Really improved my tension by the time I was onto the skirt.
Some progress on a skirt to match the last top I made which I still need to get a nice photo of
I WILL be as effeminate as possible in one of the most macho venues, actually
