Powerful imagery from Extinction Rebellion Western Australia at the shameful Fossil Fuel Sponsored Perth Festival.

Our lives are poisoned, not only by the emissions released by fossil fuels, but by the seeping of corporate propaganda into how we perceive reality.

Capitalism shapes the world that we interact with, numbing us to the destruction caused to our planet, our lives, and our relationships with each other by forces focused solely on profit.

Moving Forward in 2020

I’m sorry for being so rude to you, for treating you with the disdain with which I actually feel for myself. I’m sorry for going off and turning into someone you really don’t recognize anymore, for not giving you the opportunity to learn enough of who I had become through that journey.

Writing would have helped this, it would have helped me communicate to you what I have been working on, what I have learnt, and experimented with, and come to understand about the world that we live in, together. It would have helped me communicate to myself what I was thinking, it would have helped me focus my thoughts and what I needed to do next.

What I Achieved Today, June 5th 2018

There’s certain times of the day when writing becomes so easy, when the world isn’t in your head for you to have to worry about it, so you can focus on the story in front of you. In this case the story is mine, just a simple story about my life now that I’m back in Perth.

It’s 1:30am and I’m sitting outside in the backyard of my in parent’s house a favorite spot in my life. In the background I can hear some night creatures; most notably my buddy Giles, who just jumped back on the chair, another attempt to make me come to bed. I just finished work an hour ago though and I don’t have to get up until 9am, so I’m taking my time, enjoying the evening.
