Nostalgia Kills (NK) is an online blog and newsletter that contains a mix of personal and critical essays. A common theme to this publication is nostalgia, especially in the personal essays, with an awareness of its limitations. NK is firmly embedded within a leftist perspective, and critical analyses often deal with topics in urbanism, environmentalism, pop culture, and social justice.

Who am I?
Hi, I’m Tyler! I hold a degree in human geography from the University of Alberta and have also been a photographer since 2009. I’m interested in the way that place meshes with memory and consider myself a documentarian of sorts. I’m also nostalgic to a fault, while there’s a great heap of structural injustices I get passionate about, including the housing crisis, crumbling healthcare systems, rising inequality, and ecological degradation. All of these things inform my writing.
I also have a separate Substack called Memories of Geographies, which is a bare-bones photo blog that you can also check out and subscribe to if that’s your thing. It can be viewed here.
