Thanks for visiting! I’m Richard Griffiths and I live in Sydney, on the traditional land of the Bidjigal people of the Eora nation.

I’m a writer, an urbanist, a singer, a cyclist, a musician, a walker, and an advocate for neurodiversity (a term that was coined just up the road from here). Here I write especially about writing and reading (and what I do when I’m not writing or reading).

I’m writing slowly but may at some point speed up. Don’t worry though, you can keep up with the frenetic pace by subscribing to the RSS feed.

Or you could just subscribe to my weekly roundup.

Connect with me on micro.blog or on Mastodon. On Reddit, I’m @atomicnotes.

Bonus: There’s also a search page.

But if you can’t be bothered to search, you could always try the random post lucky dip, which only you deserve to know about, since you’ve read this far!

And since I’m in the mood for handing out bonuses, you can also find a nice page of photos.

Finally, do you love site stats? Well now there’s even more stats, just for you!

Everything on this website, unless otherwise stated, is copyright Richard Griffiths 2013-2025. To use it to train your AI or for any other purpose you must ask first and I might say no. If you ignore these terms you will have denied the concept of consent and are therefore the definition of a creep. In fact, any material used without prior consent will curse you and your descendants to the seventh generation, so it’s safer just to ask.
