Bee on Marigold. Note the ragged edge to her wings. She's been working hard this summer.

If you build it, they will come.

Here's an article I wrote back in the spring about my bee hotel. Since then, several of the "apartments" have been occupied, and one or two look like they've been evicted (read: eaten) by whatever drilled its way in and had a snack. Cue the Disney soundtrack, "It's the Circle of Life," etc.

Our wasps love the little water hole we made for them.

I've always been amazed by how the "Wellness Industry" can take something as simple as sleeping or drinking water and turning it into a "protocol". Here's mine.

I’ve always been amazed by the modern 'productivity' and 'wellness' industries that have developed on today’s enshitified internet.

I’ve started a series that takes the piss out of them. Here’s an example for you: (No paywall. No mailing list. No $247 upsell.)

I keep hearing that universal healthcare means endless waits and crumbling clinics.

After years under the Italian system, the reality is different. You get a priority code based on medical need.

Chronic conditions are fully covered. You might wait six months for a hip replacement, but you will not spend six years paying for it.

I wrote about how it actually works.
