Listening/reading log #21 (July 2021)
Another month has passed. Two months in this case, since I skipped June. But I guess I picked a good time to return. Since many of us are…
Listening/reading log #20 (May 2021)
Damn, 20 of these posts. This feels like a landmark somehow, though that should really be marked at 24 instead, shouldn’t it? I don’t have anything special planned…
