So here we are again then, December. And what a confusing old month it is. It’s a time of merry celebration and weary, northern-hemisphere hibernation; of light and energy just as the day’s overcome by night and lethargy; and yet the longest day of darkness also signals the return toward […]

Life Is Small – Jake Russell – Cobsalad
I’ve come to believe that life is small. The big, revealing answers to the grand questions of existence, of purpose, of will, of fate, of faith, of why and what for, probably aren’t out there, in here, or anywhere at all. Speculating on them is little different from indulging in […]
Razor Thin – Jake Russell – Cobsalad
What a strange thing it is to live, what a precarious endeavour. Because life is so razor thin. And we forget it is. We tend to look forward or back, but we rarely look over the sides even though the sides are just a moment’s width away at all times. […]

We Needn’t Be A Dick – Jake Russell – Cobsalad
We Needn’t Be A Dick About 2 billion years ago there was a type of bacteria on the Earth’s surface, maybe in the oceans, maybe on land, I can’t remember. As in, I can’t remember what exactly they said on this thing I watched about it a few nights ago, […]
Bits – Jake Russell – Cobsalad
There was a period in our lives, my brother Joe and I, when every other Saturday we’d stay the night with our dad. It was from when I was about 6 or 7, I think, so Joe, 8 or 9, until our father-son sleepovers became too absurd to countenance. He […]
