My personal favourite kind of ad campaign is when there’s a concept so obvious it feels like a face palm that it’s never been used before. Cornelius has this kind of feel. Not yet perfected but ready for mining.

I will not hold a safe space for maga or other such cruelty. No exceptions will be made. I do not owe you an explanation, an argument or an apology.

FYI: Sometimes I use foul language. It’s a coping mechanism. So is posting a lot about Marvel, the MCU and XMCU, and Doctor Who.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

So, there are two people I work with who are so enamoured of their own opinion that they will talk directly over you then get offended when you assert yourself. That is all. Just needed to get that off my chest. Thanks for listening peeps.

The poem I read every week to remind myself I’m part of something bigger than the petty concerns presented as important to me by others.
One of my favourite poems.
