2 of my friends moved to Tokyo a year ago, to stay in touch we started a podcast deep dive into their fave show, 80s anime Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

If it's half as fun to listen to as it is to record, it'll be a great time!

First 5 eps out now!

Same guy, two interviews. In the first, he is a fragile Jewish student, who feels unsafe on campus, because everything is antisemitic and everyone is plotting a second Holocaust. In the second, he is Goliath, raining death on unarmed Palestinians from a safe distance.

I say I hate Israel, and then I read something like this, and I realize I don’t hate them nearly enough. These people are sick beyond words.

book one is 280 pages, so plenty to read, and more story is coming later this year (the whole story is written, art is in progress)

Happy Superman day! If you haven’t, now would be a good time to read Kahlil, a comic about what if superman crash landed in Karachi, Pakistan instead of Kansas

Anyways, 2025 was personally the happiest I've been, honestly, in over a decade. I'm going to try and make the next year better for myself and others. hopefully, only blue skies ahead

highlights of 2025:
- I finally qualified as an architect in the UK, something that was a long time coming that felt like it would never actually come around
- I lost 30kg/66lbs
- I travelled to Cyprus and S. Korea this year, and caught up on old friendships I'd let slip by

so much of the past 2 yrs has been focused on stabilizing my life after a tumultuous period before, focused on getting through this postgrad and qualifying as an architect that it feels like life is starting again for me in '26. Do other architects feel this way?

I'm working on a long form prose project I think for the first time since school, and it is working a completely different part of my brain than writing for screen or comics, very strange experience

This is the hardest update I’ve had to share.

I previously shared that I had a partial scholarship and was trying to cover the deposit to travel for my studies.
Unfortunately, I’ve since learned that evacuation for study is only possible with full funding that includes accommodation, or through an official sponsor.

I still hold a strong university offer, and my goal has not changed but I have only 5 days to make a final decision.

If any individual, organisation, or institution can help cover the remaining fees or act as a study sponsor, your support could truly change my future.

Even sharing this post means everything 🤍

I love Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Imagine interviewing someone huge and this is the first thing they say to you, I'd be shaking
