Hip hop. Homestead. songs. systems.

Some chop the wood. Some sit by the fire.

Welcome Home

This is our place - should have built it years ago but, you know, busy.

For a while I'd found a home on Substack - a place to write, to think out loud without curation but with feedback, and to speak freely. I built a community there. But platforms and tech bros shift the floor under your feet and apply conditional access. So here we are, greener pastures. thumbnailgreen.com - my real home on the internet.

This is where the music lives, where the work of building a parallel life gets documented. Oh and I like to share things I find too.

What you'll find:

Music influenced by my heroes but incubated in the bush, from silence, from critical thinking. Songs about resilience, collapse, and finding sovereignty when systems fail. Oh and love songs and funk. There are collabs in music video, writing and music too. 

Writing as it's own thing and as song exploders—manifestos, lyrics, reflections on living deliberately in a world that's coming apart at the seams. Systems thinking.

Documentation of a homesteading—water, food, shelter, craft. Proof of concept that another way is possible and worth it.

What I'm about:

Some chop the wood. Some sit by the fire. I choose the axe. Well mostly, there are always stories to tell.

This is a working model of self-determination through creativity and nature stewardship and song ideas that swirl through my head. The music, the homestead, the philosophy—it's all the same thing. Building agency in uncertain times.

If you want to follow along, sign up below. If you want to support the work, check out the music on Bandcamp or come to a show.

Thanks for being here. You know we like each other already.
