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.)

  • Den perfekta kryddhyllan

    Kryddor är kul! Jag gillar kryddstark mat och tycker om att experimentera med olika kryddkombinationer. Kryddor kan få vilka alldagliga ingredienser som helst att smaka fantastiskt, så även för den som inte är rik nog att ha en stor matbudget kan det vara väl värt att investera i en välfylld…

  • The sound of cooking goes “minnnng!”

    I’ve mentioned before that when going vegan I decided to learn to cook properly. As I’ve said, I’ve practically detested cooking before, and hardly had skills to make anything more advanced than pancakes. Really, I could barely make microwave popcorn without setting off the smoke alarm. I guess I simply…

  • Running up that hill

    Today I’m taking a break from VeganMoFo in order to write about something completely different: running. I have, since about half a year, taken up running. I really rather detest running. So why am I doing this, then? Well, let me tell you my story. Last winter I was getting…

  • Watching things grow

    I’ve mentioned earlier that since I moved to this great big new apartment this spring, I’ve started experimenting with cultivating vegetables. Thought I might sum up the result of it all.  In April the seeds were sown. Radishes, dill, salad, basil and parsley. Small plants were also bought and re-planted…

  • It’s an acquired taste

    Vegan topic of today is acquired tastes; things you used to dislike but have learned to eat or even like. Here’s a list of a few of mine. Oatmeal. Nowadays I can hardly imagine life without it, but as a kid I refused to eat it. Mushrooms. Their spongy and…

  • Restaurant tip: Govindas

    I really have a million things to do today, so this post will have to be a quick one. It could always be useful to know where to find restaurants serving vegan food. So, here is a tip relevant mainly for residents of Lund: Govindas, at Bredgatan 28. Being a…

  • Recept: Nattgröt

    Efter gårdagens vägg av text på engelska tänkte jag skriva ett kort och koncist inlägg på svenska idag, för omväxlings skull. Ett recept, hör och häpna! Starkt inspirerad av Angela Liddons recept vegan overnight oats, har jag skapat en försvenskad version av denna frukosträtt. Nattgröt 1 dl havregryn En mosad banan…

  • Why go vegan?

    Starting off Vegan Month of Food with some musings around the standard question: so why are you a vegan? I’ve been vegan for one year and three months, to date. It started as a one-year pledge, to see if I could do it. Apparently I could! I might have failed…

  • Vegan Month of Food coming up!

    October is lurking around the corner, and together with it the blogging event Vegan Month of Food! Check out Vegan Month of Food! This year, I intend to participate. The idea is quite simple; everyone who participates should aim to write at least 20 blog posts related to vegan food during…
