a love letter
to bristol There’s a funny kind of feeling that comes with returning to a place you once lived. I experienced it when walking along the streets of Bristol this weekend, hit by a wave of sentimentality for the city where I spent my university years. It felt like coming home. Strolling...

smoking kills + pop-up thrills
are cigarettes back? Ello chaps! 🥸 We’re back again with another newsletter, one I’m feeling super good about. This one feels spicier than usual, well-seasoned one might say, and chock full of interesting reads that I know you’ll find worthwhile.

angel vs. devil
if nothing matters, why bother? We make around 45 million choices throughout our lifetime. Sometimes they’re good, sometimes they’re bad, and sometimes, they’re really, really bad. But I’m willing to bet that most decisions we consider ‘bad’ aren’t always enough to alter the course of our lives. Most ‘bad decisions’ are really just stupid ones, driven by emotion and made in the heat of the moment – a one-off...
Does Gen Z smell better?
