Musician, actress, firedancer. 🇬🇧/🇺🇸 dual citizen. DC music scene expat presently living in Brighton, UK. New album coming (for really real this time) in 2025.
Alternating between writing a new song that might be the sweetest, sappiest thing I’ve ever written and rewriting an old unfinished song that’s probably the darkest, saddest thing I’ve ever written …and making good progress with both?

Nothing like the muses bestowing a little emotional whiplash. 😅

Sometimes if I’m stuck on a rhyme I’ll look up “rhymes with <blank>” and see if anything sparks. In this case…uh no, Merriam-Webster…I don’t thing “ass-clown” is the tonal match for “drown” I’m going for but thanks for the suggestion.

In the Brighton & Hove Criminal Justice System, Seagull-based offenses are considered especially heinous

Holy hell. ‘Pluribus’ might be the best first episode of anything in a while, and Rhea Seehorn is *incredible* in it. Every time you think you know what kind of show you’re watching it surprises. Absolutely a refreshingly bold concept.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Love me some salt and vinegar. Ketchup’s great. But I am increasingly becoming a curry chips convert.

Tonight is the night we commemorate with bonfires, effigies, and fireworks the time a guy (called Guy) almost-but-not-quite replaced the system of absolute monarchy with …<checks notes> the *exact same* system of absolute monarchy, but with New Original Recipe Refreshing Catholic Flavour™

Went for dinner with a lovely friend & ended up down by the sea singing to the ocean with a beat up street-rescue guitar & trading tales under an incredibly bright moon as foamy waves crashed, scatterings of fireworks burst, and small fires flickered down the beach. A 5th to remember, remember, etc.

I’m still on the email list for one of my favourite Boston area restaurants and every time they send out promotional messages I’m like YES I WOULD LIKE SOME VEGGIE GALAXY PLEASE DROPSHIP IT TO ENGLAND THX

Oh! Hey guys it says “The ancient and terrible being held within is an IMMORAL great evil”, not “*IMMORTAL*”. We’ve had Cheney figured wrong all these years! Whew!”

Been playing the Final Fantasy Tactics remastermake while trying to wind down for sleep lately and I had genuinely forgotten how much that game was Baby’s First Intro To Class Consciousness for young nerds in 1997

It being 🎃 season: If you like slow-burn, tense, artsy, cerebral horror movies you should check out the recent Australian indie film ‘Monolith’.

Hard to say much about it without spoilers, but it has some interesting things to say and has a lot of fun playing with genre tropes in clever ways.

All I keep thinking whenever I hear anything about this Louvre heist is
“¿DÓNDE ESTÁ EL PROFESSOR?”

Everything in culture does seem to be high levels of “wtf is even happening anymore” across the board, but I absolutely did not see “Carmy from ‘The Bear’ is Jabba The Hutt’s (weirdly shredded?) son in the next Star War” coming *at all*

Can’t post the video here directly due to “must be under 3 minutes” silliness, but here’s a insta link to video of my song ‘Silver Linings’ from my set at Green Note in London last month

Made my London live music debut at a sold out show at Green Note last weekend! Absolutely wonderful audience, great venue and staff, and of course it was amazing sharing a stage with Lachlan Bryan & The Wildes 💕

Let’s do it again sometime, London!

Yes fine good add ‘lewk’ to the dictionary but ffs stop saying it’s “another craaazy word made up by Gen Z!” I grew up around people in the fucking 90s using ‘lewk’. Once again the Queer/Black/both slang-to-mainstream usage pipeline strikes, and lazy journos go “kids sure say the darndest things!”

‘Hardspace: Shipbreaker’ was one of my favourite games I played during the peak of covid times. Glad the devs at Blackbird have been able to fully buy back the rights to their IP, and am excited they’re gonna make more in that setting.

Walking down St James St I saw a goth sitting against the wall outside the Sainsburys Local with a pet chicken on a leash. I fuckin love this city 😆

People who aren’t from / haven’t lived in DC may say the sandwich guy incident with the agents on U St was just a foolish, cheap stunt, but you have to think about the true cost of actions like that. In DC that sandwich probably cost like $30.

‘The Alters’ is the best indie game this year. Complex, a bit unintuitive & intimidating (but always thematically appropriately), deeply thoughtful, thought-provoking, and often wildly unsettling. Well done @11bitstudios.bsky.social . Looking forward to any DLC plans & whatever’s next from you all.

Just had someone who knows and once toured with Bonnie Raitt say “you could just push her off stage and do your version” after I played a cover of (Bonnie’s-by-way-of-John Prine) ‘Angel From Montgomery’. That’s…a fucking incredible compliment. Wow. I’ll be carrying that with me for a long while.

Since I can’t post a full-song length video here, apparently:
