About

I’m Tynan Stewart, and I make things. For example: This is my website! I made it! It’s a place to experiment with my writing, free of any editorial oversight (for better and worse), and a space where I can explore the possibilities of the internet as a form. If you find something here that’s broken or doesn’t work right, it’s because I’m still teaching myself how to build things on the internet and I messed up while experimenting.

Not actually a bird, but probably not that important.

A bit about me: #

• I’m a journalist and a critic. Sometimes my writing get published by serious publications and blogs cooler than mine.
• I’m a proud member of the National Writers Union and the Freelance Solidarity Project.
• I write the newsletter This Week In Lincoln.
• I sometimes publish zines and comics under the name Laurie
• I occasionally make YouTube videos.

I’m also on: #

• Bluesky
• Instagram
• Letterboxd

AI disclosure: #

• No generative AI was used, or ever will be used, to create anything on this website. You can read more about my thoughts on the use of large language models for creative projects here and here. But basically: Generative AI boosters can get fucked.
