Prescient book from 2017 - a lot of the reviews at the time criticised Gessen for calling Putinâs regime âtotalitarianâ.
Very proud of my octogenarian parents taking part in te hikoi mÅ Te Tiriti today!
A historic event.
Glorious day in PÅneke the day before the hikoi mÅ Te Tiriti hits town.
Itâs going to be a fascinating day tomorrow.

Dark, queer, twisted.
Finished reading: My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh ð

Wonderful multi layered noir philosophic novel.
Long weekend reading collection. Connected and contrasting themes - history, philosophy, cross-cultural exchange, reflection, and ancient thought.
