I like to write about fun things. Music, film, TV, videogames. Sometimes I get a bit more serious. Feminism, technology, politics. In a nutshell, I like writing. Want me to write for you? Get in touch.
You can see other stuff that I've written (but have forgotten to add here) over at The 405 or This is Fake DIY.
And last but not least, you can also stalk me on Twitter.
