🔔 some work news: today is my first day as Newsletter Editor at @theipaper.com !! Very excited for this next chapter 🌟

When I told people I was off to a tech founder longevity retreat on a private island, most said ‘what, like that blood boy billionaire?’ 😨 Thankfully, that wasn't the case: for @sifted.eu, here's how the next gen of founders are thinking about longevity: sifted.eu/articles/lon...

Wrote about my grandad knocking on the door every Saturday when I was a kid with bags full of shopping and a Lion bar in his pocket — and how times, and the high street we once frequented, have changed www.boundlessmagazine.com/p/a-chocolat...

Happy publication day to Patrick McCabe's Goldengrove, out now (unbound.com/products/gol...) A perfect time to revisit the brilliant piece Pat wrote for us, on the joy and terror of seeing his 1992 masterpiece, The Butcher Boy, get turned into a major film: www.boundlessmagazine.com/p/when-holly...

Pitbull stew, anyone? @tommygilhooly.bsky.social speaks to the founders of the controversial pop-up roadkill restaurant KHAM about the highs and lows of cooking things killed on the roads of London www.boundlessmagazine.com/p/roadkill-p...

I've only just now read @sadianowshin.bsky.social 's lovely introduction to my last article for @boundlessmagazine.bsky.social and I'm touched and think it rather enhances the experience -- read both together - and weep freely. www.boundlessmagazine.com/p/straining-...

My latest for Cosmopolitan UK (!): over a decade since breakup, fans suspect that Selena Gomez continues to live rent-free in Bieber’s head — but how do you deal with an ex that just won’t go away? I spoke to psychologist Jo Coker for her advice: www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/...

Pitch us!! 📨

A fun first: I made my @boundlessmagazine.bsky.social Podcast debut today! Chatted to @ericawgnr.bsky.social about the cultural impact of 'Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging', being traumatised by Jacqueline Wilson, and BookTok tropes

Wrote a little piece on trying to recreate nostalgic meals when generations of your family have never written a recipe down, and instead you have a Whatsapp instruction from your mum telling you to ‘leave it to simmer until the rice looks right’ 👩‍🍳 boundlesslit.substack.com/p/onions-and...

went to see the lovely orchid exhibition at Kew Gardens yesterday and dreamt of being a Victorian botanist wandering the world and illustrating plants 🥹

I think a lot about the 'plot holes' in family stories; the parts of anecdotes that are lost when we lose people. I've particularly been thinking about it this week, on the sixth anniversary of my grandad's passing — and wrote a little bit on those feelings for @boundlesslit.bsky.social yesterday

'People used to say ‘you’ll never gentrify the Bush’. It was a badge of pride that this neighbourhood was beyond respectability and the smoothings of super-capitalism.' Author and screenwriter Hanif Kureishi pays homage to his beloved Shepherd's Bush Road: boundlesslit.substack.com/p/youll-neve...

bought my first bunch of spring daffodils, all is well 🌼

"He read To An Old Poet in Peru, in a kind of flirty homage to Bunting, then Howl — but more movingly, he read Kaddish. He’d read the full text only twice in public before" Poet Tom Pickard on when Beat writer Allen Ginsberg paid him a visit in Newcastle boundlesslit.substack.com/p/ginsberg-i...

Beautiful words from @sadianowshin.bsky.social — "I hope that the spirit of perseverance found in these little worlds of London's communities will keep the kaleidoscope turning" — and much more in the latest issue of @boundlesslit.bsky.social — come join us. boundlesslit.substack.com/p/cocktails-...

Help create a platform for writing that you won’t read anywhere else — and start 2025 by reading more and scrolling less. You’ll be in great company: here’s what some of our great readers and writers have had to say so far:

Today we are launching Boundless, a new magazine from @unbounders.bsky.social bringing together the best writing on everything from food to nature and tech to literature, from voices you know and new writers you’ll love

One of my 2025 goals is to do more fun creative stuff in my spare time and try new crafty things — this weekend I painted a £1 mini milk jug (?) I found in a charity shop and made it into a cute candle holder :)

something quite gross about a London Northwestern train — uncouth, even

fair play to him

love this snippet of my latest awe in retrospect substack post, where Amy Mae Baxter joined to talk about hiding copies of Twilight under the covers, the importance of Angus Thongs & Perfect Snogging, and share her joys <3 aweinretrospect.substack.com/p/amys-in-aw...

a success of the weekend: my first attempt at a chocolate soufflé! 🍽️ (didn’t put enough in the ramekins so didn’t get the characteristic rise above the rim but nobody minded and it tasted great 🫶)

In 1974, Philippe Petit embarked on an illegal high-wire walk across the Twin Towers, setting a legacy that has followed him since ☁️ In the latest Boundless podcast, he talks to @ericawgnr.bsky.social about wanting to be known for more than just the 'man on wire', and how it shaped him as an artist

feels quite embarrassing doing the whole self-promo “I do this thing!” post but: I do this thing! on substack, where I have a different (lovely) person on every month to talk about what a younger version of themselves would be proud of next issue landing on Saturday :) aweinretrospect.substack.com

🎧 Something to bookmark for your lunch / commute / post-work wind-down: the second episode of the Boundless podcast is here! Join Patrick as he travels up to Bradford Beck to talk to @rsmythfreelance.bsky.social, and Erica is joined by @roisinlanigan.bsky.social ⭐️ open.spotify.com/episode/3Ftl...

monzo has informed me that I've gone over my self-assigned non-essentials spending budget this month, and I suspect it might be because this has broadly been my november vibe so far

hello! 👋 ⭐️ I'm the junior editor of @boundlesslit.bsky.social, a new digital culture/literary magazine from @unbounders.bsky.social ⭐️ I'm also a freelance features writer in the guardian, cosmopolitan and city am mag amongst others — and I write a monthly substack: aweinretrospect.substack.com :)

While we gear up to get things going very soon, for now you can enjoy the brand new Boundless podcast — episode one features the great Pat McCabe in conversation with @patrickgalbraith.bsky.social + multimedia artist Tice Cin chatting to @ericawgnr.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/2m22...

🍽️ I’m terrible at bread but for some reason have managed to somewhat crack focaccia — the latest is a rosemary & caramelised red onion, made into roasted pepper & mozzarella sandwiches 🤩

Wrote on whether using neurotraining to enhance your athletic ability is an unfair advantage... or just one of many ways that professional sportspeople get ahead of their competition, for @digital-frontier.bsky.social today: digitalfrontier.com/articles/spo...

a very autumn weekend across oxford and chiswick 🍂🍃☀️

The rumours are true... Boundless is back (and better than ever) 👀

my second post is to say I managed to get tickets for a streetcar named desire this morning and I got in the queue early enough that I don’t have to take a loan out to afford them !!!

got fomo when everyone in the office embarked on a mass migration so here we are (with my 2017 macbook air that is too old to update chrome, which is too old to run sky bridge and so until I get my new one, 10 followers it is)
