beeps NOW!

A “now” page is a conceptual accompaniment to an about page. While an about page can tell you about my background and my identity, it doesn’t tell you about what I’m currently doing or what I currently care about. Thus, this.

Now

It’s currently the Year of Service, wherein I try to commit more time to volunteering and generally helping folks out.

I’m still working as a frontend developer on the GOV.UK Design System team. If all goes well, I should be able to tack ‘senior’ to the front of that job title soon.

I’m in the process of trying to buy a house. Approve my mortgage application already, damn you.

I’ve been slowly learning to speak Swedish for over a year now! Jag talar lite svenska.

I’ve been listening to a mix of random stuff lately. Current artists on heavy rotation include Just Fern/Jeff Burgess, The Longest Johns, and Dadi Freyr (of course).

I’m currently watching random stuff from Dropout.tv and Formula 1, as I am virtually all year round, Ted Lasso, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and rewatching Star Trek: The Next Generation alongside the The Greatest Generation podcast.

I’ve been playing Factorio, OpenTTD, and virtually nothing else for months. I’m so logisticsmaxxing and trainpilled.

Recently

Slowly dying in the back to back to back heatwaves. Thanks, climate change.

Years after it originally happened, I finally saw a doctor about the sudden loss of hearing I experienced in 2020. I’ve ended up getting a hearing aid, to aid my hearing.

Between ConFuzzled, Pride Cymru and Bristol Pride, I’ve spent an awful lot of time fursuiting in the middle of the hottest weather yet recorded in the UK.

Soon

Concerts! I’m queued up to see Jazz Emu and Ben Folds live later this year. (Separately, not at the same time.)

I’m already booked into attend ConFuzzled in May 2027. Nyoom.
