Last year we dropped our newest single, "Machina", a thinly veiled "no thanks" to generative AI and its impact on creative spaces, the environment, and the integrity of those who use it.
Humans make art for humans.
We hope you like it 🤘💜

I couldn't help myself so I did a newsletter highlight reel retrospective. Here's 2025, all summed up. Thank you for reading and subscribing if you did!

Well everyone, we did it. Here we are on the last Wednesday of 2025. While an asteroid could still wipe us all out before the year is over for good (a girl can dream), it looks like we made it through...

It's been 1+ year since my last podcast ep. With big stuff going on, I felt compelled to drop a new ep... only to realised in the previous ep I made a rare Promise/Guarantee combo: to NOT talk about myself or my art in the next ep. Challenge accepted!

Something I've learned this last week or so... Journalists are SO good at what they do. It takes me about a month to explain this insane idea, and they just absolutely nail it in 90 seconds. This 'reel' is the best. www.instagram.com/p/DJ0-VjJpADD/

Hi Bluesky! Thank you @leahreich.com, for finding my obscure project and sharing it. Genuinely changed my life. And thank you everyone for the frankly ridiculous amount of kindness in the comments. My mind is blown. Love you guys, keep chucklin, keep bein silly. 👍
hello!! I know everyone is busy/the news remains bad, but if I may distract for a moment? There's a man named Ander Louis from the Yarra Valley whose sincere passion project is translating War & Peace into Bogan Australian. He's done Books 1 & 2. This is not a spoof. www.amazon.com/dp/108730656...
