Hi, I'm Tommy! 👋🏻

This is primarily a space for me to talk about how I see the world. You'll find my thoughts about the things I'm watching, reading, listening to, and thinking about. Because I am a bit of a "jack of all trades, master of none", the subject matter is likely to be pretty diverse. "I find this interesting" is probably the only real thread that ties it all together.

When I'm not here you can occassionally find me posting on Bluesky .

I hope to see you around!
