- now LIVE: @crowdfunder.bsky.social for #MadeOfMagic2026! #EdFringe26 www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/OnvrBpK... based on my illustrated #poetry collection of the same name, MoM is a hybrid #SpokenWord show & #art exhibition recounting my fight for sanity & sense of self during my 3rd nervous breakdown.
- It is a love letter to myself as a survivor of complex trauma, and a reminder to everyone who needs it that, even in moments of utter darkness, there’s still so much beauty to be found. Most of all, this deeply personal show for me represents that elusive light at the end of the tunnel. >
- > Bringing this work back for its third year at the #EdFringe – in a city I love, which welcomed me with open arms when I most needed a place to call home – means reclaiming and holding onto a life worth living. >

(worst case scenario I can read off my phone, but that is less than ideal) #poet #performancepoet #spokenword #spokenwordpoet #performingartist #ADHD #neurodivergent

- and speaking of doing poetic things onstage, I will be taking part in the #CandlelightPoetrySlam on Monday (2/2/26) at 7.30pm, @ The Old Toll Bar in #Glasgow allevents.in/glasgow/2000... I'd love to see your beautiful faces there 😊💖 ♿ access note: the venue is unfortunately down a set of stairs

- in more productive news, I have a bunch of deadlines this week, starting with: finishing that #GothenburgFringe application chat give me strength (cute pet pics/memes will do) #poet #PerformancePoet #SpokenWord #SpokenWordPoet #poetry #PerformancePoetry #SpokenWordPoetry #performer #PerformingArts
- [TW. #MH - #CPTSD, self-harm, ideation, #depression] even before reading the wiki article that inspired that lenghty thread of angst, I was not having a good day yesterday. I had the kind of day mostly spent in the dark, tearful but never actually crying, my brain filled with SH urges every time >
- < anything went wrong. thankfully, I am healed enough that 99% of the time, the urge to punch myself in the head remains in my head (younger me used to pummel himself while having hours-long dissociative seizures. Do not miss those). still, the SH/suicidal ideation is a daily, multiple-times-a-day
- occurrence. Yesterday was just particularly loud. Regardless of volume, it is an exhausting way to live. if you made it this far, thank you for listening <3
- but then I heard something mentioned that I couldn't not research, and it was BAD. Even just the wikipedia article for the actor involved was incredibly upsetting to read, so I will avoid going into more details than mentioned in the TWs. but now, I'm severely struggling to find the comfort & joy
- it's not just a case of being (un)willing/able to separate art & artist (which I definitely struggle to do, as 1) an artist who puts 100% of his soul in his work, & 2) an autistic human whose thinking can be pretty rigid, especially ethics-wise) more pressingly, it's a question of CPTSD management
