Currently reading: The Future is History by Masha Gessen 📚
Prescient book from 2017 - a lot of the reviews at the time criticised Gessen for calling Putin’s regime “totalitarian”.
Glorious day in Pōneke the day before the hikoi mō Te Tiriti hits town.
It’s going to be a fascinating day tomorrow.
Posting on Bluesky
I’ve set up an account on bsky.app
I love micro.blog - but it’s small and paid.
I love that I can use my own domain (jeremybaker.nz) as my handle!
And lots of other cool stuff about Bluesky:
Finished reading: Don’t Let the Forest In by CG Drews 📚
Dark, queer, twisted.
Finished reading: My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh 📚
Darkly funny and sardonic. Listless tale of avoidance. Not sure about the end, but many memorable vignettes.
Finished reading: Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner 📚
Wonderful multi layered noir philosophic novel.
Long weekend reading collection. Connected and contrasting themes - history, philosophy, cross-cultural exchange, reflection, and ancient thought.
Finished reading: Sound Tracks by Graeme Lawson 📚
