Childhood Nostalgia: 90s Tech Rewind

bohemianhumanist

What makes you feel nostalgic? Music from my childhood. Specifically, almost anything by Crowded House, Bic Runga’s Get Some Sleep, Goldenhorse’s Northern Lights, and Tim Finn’s Before & After album. Oh, and Fat Freddy’s Drop. https://youtu.be/ag8XcMG1EX4?si=00gH2zkpuLkrVDOm https://youtu.be/qzTUSR3fbfU?si=Ay7nHSie9A_lerOg https://youtu.be/2aDG82wZUHs?si=_1ur3a2-eaxs49Wo https://youtu.be/Y7QQS5V3cnI?si=TdXdcO9hMxVA9h2y Beautiful Collision If I’m speaking a different language, you’re missing out.

Legoland, Supersonic Speeds and a Glorious Croissant

bohemianhumanist

Adulting at Legoland If you couldn't already tell, my partner and I are adult children. Birmingham's Legoland was her idea, and I was content enough to go along. During the day, it is typically a snotty, screechy, lego haven filled with mostly kindergartners to under 10s. However, once a month, they host adult-only 18+ evenings,… Continue reading Legoland, Supersonic Speeds and a Glorious Croissant

Painful Politics, Indigenous Rights and Climate

bohemianhumanist

It has been more than a little bit heartbreaking seeing the fear and frustration from students post-NZ election. Many of my students are fierce climate activists, proud tangata whenua, queer, trans and/or advocates against social injustice. One came up to me after class recently and said in a panic, will National really get rid of… Continue reading Painful Politics, Indigenous Rights and Climate

Odd Time Signatures: Why Does it Sound Wonky?

bohemianhumanist

I stumbled across the wonderful Madison Cunningham not so long ago via one Remi Wolf's feature in Hospital. Through an increasingly obsessive deep dive into Cunningham's catalogue I fell upon Anywhere, whose chorus strikes a chord with me: Any day nowI'll find myself free of itYou'llturn and see me theredaringto answer to no oneAny day… Continue reading Odd Time Signatures: Why Does it Sound Wonky?

ADHD & Homophobic Mysteries

bohemianhumanist

So I took another break. My new year's resolution saw me posting weekly for 7 months solid, but it was not to last. It's funny how setting specific intentions and expectations around hobbies can squash the pleasure out of your passions. Keen to stop doing that, tbh. Anyway, I'm back - and taking a leaf… Continue reading ADHD & Homophobic Mysteries

Bribing Teenagers and Dragonfly Brain

bohemianhumanist

The year has only just started and I'm already finding it difficult to turn my work brain off. Whenever I have a significant shift in my schedule, I struggle to adjust for a while. Often, a week or two (or three) is spent in limbo. Going back to school is a prime example. Does anyone… Continue reading Bribing Teenagers and Dragonfly Brain

Adventures in Tāmaki Makaurau

bohemianhumanist

Entirely due to a steep incline in my obsession with Remi Wolf, I did something ~highly spontaneous~, at least by Abby standards. They Cool, They Tight Somewhat late to the game, I hadn't an inkling that she was touring the Antipodes until my mate gave me a heads up. Unfortunately, The Babe Herself had sold… Continue reading Adventures in Tāmaki Makaurau

JoJo x JoJo: The Interview We Never Knew We Needed

bohemianhumanist

I have been going through a JoJo renaissance this past year. Ever since finding out how bad my childhood fave got fucked over by the music industry, she has come back on my radar. Perusing her recent Spotify releases, I've fallen back in love with JoJo's music. Ten years on, her lyrical storytelling has a… Continue reading JoJo x JoJo: The Interview We Never Knew We Needed
