Actually The Worst Song In The World :D (Never Get Naked In Your Shower)
Mostly because it gets stuck in your head and then whenever you are staying at, say, relatives’ houses, it RANDOMLY POPS BACK INTO YOUR HEAD AND MAKES THINGS AWKWARD.

Made it Monday: More Baby Stuff For Markets
Welcome to #MadeItMonday, where I post something I’ve made in the previous week, and where you can join in and post something you made too!

Let’s See How Much I Love You Today
Sometimes, kids are really just there to teach you not to be a jerk.

I have a poem up on the Darkness & Good blog today. I wrote the first draft of this poem back in uni, in my first creative writing course. I stumbled across it again recently and realised how to finish it – so here it is. An autumnal poem for the autumn season in the southern hemisphere
The Soul-Crippling Horrors of Humanity
I don’t think we need a lengthy introduction here about how awful humanity can be. It’s pretty easy to look around and spot a hundred examples all within arm’s reach. Humanity can be awful. It hurts. It hurts so much there’s a term for it: Weltschmertz, which is German for ‘world pain’.
