rowing regatta update nobody asked for 😍
i had my VIII race and it went pretty well and we came 3rd!! we lowkey crashed into the pontoon at the start line tho…
it was only a 1km race but i still felt rly tired after bc i just recovered after having the flu…
then as soon as i got back in from my VIII race i had to get to my quad race and i was meant to be 3 seat but the girl in stroke reeeeallyyy didn’t want to be stroke seat so we swapped
we did so well in that race!!!! we came 2nd and we all rowed in time and with really good technique and no crabs!! and my coach told me she might put me in stroke seat more often.
alsooooo there was this really pretty girl in stroke seat for our biggest rival school…. we actually made eye contact and we congratulated each other after our races
after that my friends and i bought food and smoothies from the food stalls and helped with boats and derigging
while i’m writing this we are on the bus back to the boatshed. it’s like an hour long.
1 more regatta until head of the river!!!
i just sent you an ask with "?" instead of ":)" sorry <3
all good don’t worry <3
i hate how my science teacher is simplifying concepts so much to the point where it’s incorrect information
like no thanks i actually want to learn everything i can about science and i want to collect knowledge like a little gremlin with shiny rocks instead of just ‘you’ll learn about that more if you do chem for uni!! for now let’s just go with this.’
idk, my little sister named my dog Ziggy and i don’t think she knows anything about David Bowie… she listens to brainrot songs and nothing else 😭😭
but the other Ziggy i know irl im pretty sure is named after ziggy stardust

wishbone, the album. august 15th. “this song” out in a week.
over the past two years, i’ve been secretly writing songs. after shows in the basements of the venues, in the sheets of my hotel beds, in narrow gaps between tours— i’d come back home and write all the things i felt nobody wanted to hear. maybe even the things i didn’t want people to hear.
i didn’t tell my friends. i didn’t tell my label. after all, i didn’t know i was making anything, and i had no plan to release any of it. but over time, i began to feel something i’d never felt before. i started to need the music. i listened in airports, in long cab trips, blaring in the shower. in heartbreak, then in joy. i started to play it for my friends, and they started to need it too. in car ride requests with the windows down, in a split pair of wired headphones on the subway home. it became an egregiously niche soundtrack to our own lives in real time, singing just for us.
it felt like the music was reminding me who i am, at an experimental time in my twenties where “who i am” had no definition at all. my driftwood childhood in texas. my lucid summers in london. my blue striped bed sheets in my college apartment. i played the songs to the very first person i’d ever made music with, @thedanielnigro, and i began to record. i didn’t know why i was recording, i just was. i didn’t know what story i was telling, i was just living in it. slowly i started to see myself in full picture. the slivers of myself i’d always been, but never faced. the songs i’d always been writing, but never singing.
before i knew it i was surrounded by an album.
that album is wishbone.
you can preorder the album now. music produced by the people who make my favorite music: @thedanielnigro , @ethangruska , noah conrad, elvira anderfjärd and @lukakloser . album cover shot by the great @dillonmatthewc who shot my first album. embroidery by my best friend ashley. every song written by me in my bed in my pajamas. there’s so much left to say, but i’ll say it in the music.

p.s. a wishbone never breaks even.
