if you look at me directly (the image is different) 10.12.2025

 JANUARY 10 KING AT BRANDED SALOON My head is at 6 am. Fire on the pillow and a workday for war orphans. It's falling in love with my Transgender American Pie. Sweet pride for a british gay man named Nathanial. Isolation at the manchester airport gave me an invention idea: a podcast that is also a youtube video that is also a patreon.

Chapter Two 17.09.2025

From the first taste of suburban alienation to the neon-lit aisles of New York’s Whole Foods, the story winds through thefts both petty and profound: a Claddagh ring from the Dublin airport, rosehip oil hidden next to a rotisserie chicken, blood oranges left to dry in a vacant windowsill. These aren’t just crimes, but —a crooked catechism for a queer, trans kid desperate to rebel...and to survive....
