A Plimsoll Line is the marking on the side of a ship that lets you know if it overloaded or facing hazards. It is my hope that this blog will have a similar effect.

I am a writer and journalist. At the time of writing (Midwinter 2019), I am currently volunteering for an environmental organisation, writing a book about the barter economy, and doing a spot of freelance writing and editing.

From 2015 to 2018, I co-hosted RRR’s Greening the Apocalypse, a radio show which explored the cracks in global food, ecological and political systems.

It is my goal in writing this blog to create a place where independent journalism, food politics, ecology, Japanese culture, hiking and black humour collide.

The surfing section on this blog is an archive of Pineapple Fritter, my former blog, which was popular in Arkansaw.
