Welcome

There are some who call me… Tim? Pronouns they/them. Former astrophysicist, current poet and storyteller, perpetual weirdo.

I intend to follow Mary Oliver’s Instructions for living a life:
1. Pay attention.
2. Be astonished.
3. Tell about it.

You are invited to follow along on my poetic life journey. This web page is mostly a blog where I irregularly share my poetry, recaps of adventures and general musings. For the most part I write in English, but occasional Swedish may occur. It’s been alive for 14 years and counting, although (like me) it has gone through some shape-shifting along the way.

For the latest posts, scroll down on this page. If you’re looking for a specific topic or post, you can find a search box and a tag cloud in the sidebar on this page.

If you’re curious about other pieces of art or science I’ve scattered across the internet, do take a look at my list of creations.

Well met, until our paths cross in Cyberspace or Meatspace. (Meatspace is my favourite, really. Hope to smell and touch you at some point.)

  • NaNoWriMo SUCCESS!

    I DID IT! I fucking DID it! I wrote a freakin’ novel in a month’s time! 50016 words, take that, ya pansies!  So I actually WON NaNoWriMo. I set out to write a novel, and I bloody well did it. Oh all right, this is draft number one (AKA draft…

  • The madness begins

    Oh my gods. What have I done? I have just killed two of my characters, characters I really liked. It was painful to write. This story is certainly starting to live its own life, and I am being sucked right into it. It is a wonderful and horrible feeling. Intense, in any case.…

  • NaNoWriMo

    Well well, VeganMoFo didn’t go too bad! I didn’t reach the goal of 20 posts, but 15 is quite impressive considering my usual blogging frequency. Also taking into account that october was an insanely busy month study-wise it becomes rather fantastic. Yay, success! Hope you enjoyed it and maybe got…

  • Huskur mot förkylning

    Well, strängt taget går inte virusinfektioner att bota, men det finns sätt att göra tillfriskningsprocessen mer uthärdlig. Själv har jag just legat däckad i höstens första förkylning. Underbar tajming i och med att jag dessutom har en hemtenta att skriva. Det går inget vidare bra att tänka genom feberdimmorna. Hur…

  • Recipe: Green Monstrosity

    Have I got a smoothie recipe for you! I made it up all by myself yesterday morning, and I am rather proud of it. It’s green, wicked tasty, and probably so healthy you might start sprouting carrots out of your ears if you don’t watch out. It’s the kind of…

  • Vegan things I don’t eat

    I’ve gone on and on about vegan things to eat this month, so how about flipping the question upside down: what vegan things do I not eat? (Er, vegan things generally considered edible, that is.) I’m actually not all that picky. Well, some would say that being vegan in itself…

  • For the love of pancakes

    My favourite food hasn’t changed since I went vegan. Or since I was a small kid, for that matter. I’ve always been ridiculously fond of pancakes. While it might not be the most wholesome food in the Universe, I still like it so much I gladly eat it several times…

  • Restaurant tip: Kao’s

    Argh, so much to do. Exam period approaching, and I’m swamped. Outlooks for completing VeganMoFo successfully look bleak. Well, I’ll try and there is still time. Time for another restaurant tip! If you happen to be passing by Malmö you should take the time to visit Kao’s. Very nice restaurant…

  • The hardest part of being vegan

    Today is a very busy day for me. Furthermore, it’s an unusually miserable Monday which I’d much rather spend curled up beneath the sheets than studying and meeting people and whatnot. I’ll just do my best to make it through the day, and hope I manage without falling apart mentally…
