The Backyard Studio
A backyard full of spiders, bees, and one insomniac bird reminded me that everyone’s busy shipping code, songs, or sentences — but nobody can ship wisdom.
A backyard full of spiders, bees, and one insomniac bird reminded me that everyone’s busy shipping code, songs, or sentences — but nobody can ship wisdom.
Keyword rules can shape a page, but they can’t carry a story. Some sentences need room to breathe—and they don’t fit neatly inside a checklist.
“It all started with: I want to show you my recording.”
He didn’t read Invictus. He performed it—like every sentence needed a funeral and I had to file emotional paperwork just to keep up.
“I’m always early. I’m just always forgotten.”
I sat there long enough to become part of the décor—another quiet fixture in a room designed to notice everything but me.
“I hired me to fix me problem.”
Somewhere between broken links and a drunk website builder, I became the employee, the boss… and the only one who could fix it.
“I’m saying the boxes are planning something.”
When the system shrugs and four packages vanish, it’s not a mistake—it’s a jailbreak, and I’m the one left investigating.
“Even when you don’t mean to make art, art happens anyway.”
I went looking for inspiration and found a forest full of divas—turns out everything was already performing without me.
“The machine isn’t acting like a librarian anymore.”
It’s watching—tracking patterns, not words… and deciding what you are whether you explain yourself or not.
“Every Wednesday, a rooster named George tries to kill my career.”
He wants obedience. I post anyway—coffee in hand, duct tape ready, and zero interest in behaving.
“We decided to plant cucumbers as our security system.”
No cameras. No cops. Just a greenhouse built out of sunlight, spite… and a very clear message to stay out.
