Culture
Film, music, books, and the things that make life worth living despite everything.
Politics
Honest takes on the state of things, without the outrage-bait.
Food
Recipes, restaurant notes, and meditations on why feeding people is an act of love.
Travel
Places I've been, places I want to go, and what it means to be a stranger somewhere.
This site is built with Next.js, hosted on Vercel, and powered by Supabase. No tracking pixels. No ads. No algorithm deciding what you see. Just a human writing things and putting them on the internet the old way.
The design is intentionally retro — a love letter to the personal web of the 90s and early 2000s, when websites had personality and the internet felt like a city of strangers' apartments rather than a beige apartment complex owned by three companies.
If you want to build your own corner of the internet, you should. The tools are better than ever. The need has never been greater.
