Hi there,

Another link-heavy, essay-free edition from me - I'm having the most hectic September with a couple of things to show for it, so do keep scrolling to see what I'm doing / have been doing.

Thanks for reading!

Links of the week

  • "Whatsapp is the medium for lovers’ quarrels, controlling mothers trying to discipline from afar, and more..."

  • "My lostness comes from the sense that our cultural collections are not wholly our own anymore."

  • "A writer's opinions are golden gears that help these machines, stories, to speed up when necessary."

  • A Chair reviews The Chair

  • Why doesn’t Britain make great comedy sketches any more?

What I've been up to

  • But Is It Funny? trailer

  • Episode 1

I plan to keep this newsletter free, but it does take time to write and curate. If you fancy buying me a Ko-fi I’d be eternally grateful, and will thank you in the next newsletter <3
