Hey Lav.
Status:
Worked through Fi’s notes from Friday’s CFS consult and together we broke down the pros vs cons for some recovery plans for the next few months. It’s been a lot so my brain is pretty shut down this evening.
Overnight listening:
- In Our Time: Medieval Pilgrimage - some pretty curious stuff here that would make for a good art walking exercise. Paging Walkspace…
- Night Tracks
- Judith Butler: Who’s Afraid of Gender? - confess I used this to send me to sleep (their voice is perfect) but intend on listening properly.
Music:
- Any Other City by Life Without Buildings - popped up on shuffle and I’d forgotten how great Sue Tompkins' vocals are. I wonder what she’s up to now. (Exhibiting and collaborating with the Sleafords, it seems.)
Reading:
- John Higgs' New Moon Letter 1
- Sam Kriss: Good and evil in Iran 🪜 - Another excessively long history lesson from Sam that will need skimming but the opening about Zarathustra and the closing about the last few weeks in Iran are worth reading. (Substack have “age restricted” this citing the UK’s online safety act. I didn’t see anything dodgy in there, so click on the ladder if you don’t have a VPN.)
- John Harris: No amount of defections will change the fact that Reform and the Tories are singing the same tunes - nice use of the UB40 split as an analogy.
Watching:
- Making Lego car survive the biggest loop 11:20
- John Fogerty: Tiny Desk Concert 24:36
- True Facts: Is the Goffin’s Cockatoo the smartest bird? 11:02
