Lapsed literary type. Numbers by day.
Luka Dončić bringing the pain in purple and gold and knowing JJ Redick is scheming on the sidelines to turn this into something more than pure chaos. Austin Reeves is growing into a star every game. And “HE” is still to play a game this season. 🏀✨

Just started reading ‘The Stolen Crown’ by @tracyborman.bsky.social. Will be reviewing it as part of @netgalley.bsky.social’s programme. Going to keep my powder dry (it’s November 5th soon so pardon the pun) but early signs are unsurprisingly positive. #tudors #stuarts #books #netgalley

So sad. A kid doing what he loved and now he’s gone. Thinking of the cricket community, the Fern Gully CC, Ben’s friends and family at this devastating time. #BenAustin

Currently reading Corpus by Rory Clements — Cambridge, 1936. Fascists in the shadows, everyone terribly polite about it.
Like Brideshead Revisited met Tinker Tailor in a smoky pub and decided to start a coup. 🇬🇧📖

“Back when all-black outfits were a lifestyle, not a fashion choice. 🖤
No filters, no hashtags — just stairs, questionable posing, and the quiet confidence of people who thought they’d invented cool. 😎

Baseball, comedy, and mortality — all in one photo.
Lou Gehrig, the Iron Horse who’d soon face ALS, standing with the Marx Brothers — chaos, laughter, absurdity incarnate.
A reminder: joy and tragedy often share the same dugout.

“Hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.”
Sure, Steve. And yet half of LinkedIn still thinks leadership means micromanaging people who know twice as much as they do. 🙃
🔥 Hire brilliance. 👂 Listen to it. 🚀 Get out of its way.

When you’re 98% sure you’re nailing the candid ferry photo… and then realise you look like you’re halfway through explaining quantum mechanics to a seagull. 🛳️😅

Standing tall against the fading light; a reminder that legacy isn’t about applause in your lifetime, but the shadows you cast long after the sun dips below the horizon.
Every great figure starts as just a person who stood a taller than the fear around them.

April 1912.
A boy sells papers screaming “TITANIC DISASTER – GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.”
The crowd buys them, reads them, and moves on.
We haven’t changed much.
Tragedy is still something we consume, not something we confront.

World Series: The billion-dollar Dodgers versus a team built on cold weather, bacon, and polite vengeance. 🇨🇦
If Toronto wins, it’s history.
If LA wins, it’s just Tuesday at the accountant’s office.
Let’s go Jays — ruin some Hollywood scripts. ⚾️🥶

✍️ Writers — stop playing safe.
Joyce was right: “We must write dangerously.”
If your words don’t make someone uncomfortable — including you — you’re not writing, you’re reporting.
Bleed on the page. Risk something. That’s the job.

Meet my great-granduncle George.
He’s got that 1900s “survived two wars, three recessions, and a lifetime of unsmiling portraits” energy.
I can’t tell if I’ve inherited his face or his general disappointment in everything.
Either way — respect, G. You wore existential dread before it was cool.
