The Time-Traveling Artist’s Initiation
"I didn't grow up on fairy tales; I grew up on initiations. At 76, I’ve burned through fires and rebuilt archives. This is for the eccentric boomers, the mythic thinkers, and anyone who carries a rebellious torch. We are not from an era; we are an era.

Against The Grain. Top Story - April 2026.
Ever since childhood I have never quite felt like I belong, as though I was a stranger in my own skin living in a world that has always been difficult to understand. My brothers would joke with me and tell me I was adopted, and they would also tell me that I was placed here by aliens, due to the fact our interests were miles apart. I always had a sense that I for whatever reason which I was placed on this earth, it had to be of importance, but that reason was something I could never fully place.

I Finally Did the Thing I'd Been Avoiding for 214 Days
I counted. That's the embarrassing part. Not that I avoided it—people avoid things, that's just being human, but that I knew exactly how long. 214 days. Seven months. The kind of number that means you weren't just busy. You were scared.

As humans, we have so many contradictory feelings and emotions, it's crazy, confusing, and ultimately, "it is what it is." We want to understand, explain, or justify everything we do or say, in our imperfect way of trying to make it all make sense.

I Said ‘Yes’ to Everything for a Week—Chaos Ensued
It started as a joke. Someone said, “You say no to everything,” and I laughed it off—but it stayed with me longer than it should have. Not in a dramatic way. Just… quietly. Like a sentence that keeps echoing after the conversation has already moved on.

Where does the Free World begin?
The line between ethical values is a blur by the so called leaders of the "free world" we have seen actions recently from world leaders which would suggest how being morally ambiguous is the only real playing card to pursue self perceived ideals of peace and globalisation under whichever interpretation they choose under their own terms.

Mastering the Past. Content Warning.
I react differently than most when I see that little yellow logo with the flag. You see, I’m not one fucking bit impressed. It’s not what it used to be, and if there’s one thing in this world I’m nostalgic for, it’s what the tournament was, once upon a time in the 20th century.
