A recent interview. I really enjoyed answering these questions.

We talk about the realities of neurodivergence, the invisible labour inherent in publishing, my opinions on ‘nature cure’, and why so much writing advice falls flat for so many (it travels well because it sounds confident, not because it’s accurate, and it often asks writers to distrust their own ways of working).

Rebinding old book into a treasure

Just finished "Four Lost Cities: A secret history of the urban age", by Annalee Newitz. Delightful book - I stumbled across it because it covers Cahokia, an ancient city full of giant pyramids that is near modern day East St. Louis. I'd learned about Cahokia in "Native Nations" and wanted to know more. (Never heard of it? Me neither, probably because the US pretends that native people didn't have big cities of 30k+ with evidence of organized religion before European colonizers showed up.)

Highly recommend -- it's a quick and engaging read. In addition to Cahokia, it covers Pompeii, Angkor, and Çatalhöyük. All three had fascinating cultures that are so different both from each other and from modern life. Absolutely wild to read about.

Beautiful to see & even better to watch the process… all the many processes. Slow work but lasting. 🥰

I bought a copy of "The Book of PF" from @pitrh

It's the best and most comprehensive resource about the marvelous PF firewall that I've ever seen, and I've been using PF since the early days.

Amazing work!

It's available here on No Starch Press: https://nostarch.com/book-of-pf-4th-edition

I also recently wrote a practical guide on PF (https://blog.hofstede.it/pf-firewall-on-freebsd-a-practical-guide/) for anyone who wants to get started :-)

more books should put content warnings at the beginning of the book like this

[ I have no idea if this book is good or not, this is in the preview for it in the Kobo ebook store ]

Jean-Baptiste Fressoz's book "More and More and More" is a brilliant and sobering history of wood, coal, oil and gas and the reality of carbon emissions and industrial societies.

The concert is over, but the work continues. Someone recommended Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent by Eduardo Galeano, so of course, it’s now on my to-read list.
