Hey #booksky, if you are going to see Moana 2 this week, consider chasing it with a read of Sea People: The Puzzle of Polynesia by @cathomps.bsky.social. It’s a fascinating history of the culture and settlement of Oceania.

Started a new book. Here’s a sample of some of the source material 😢

Growing up in HI I learned about Polynesian navigation and voyaging in school and how fucking incredible it was - and when I went to the mainland this history was hardly mentioned - so cool to see light shining on this amazing part of the human story @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Loved this conversation with Christina Thompson about the mystery and miracle of Polynesian settlement. #WITHPod

Really interesting discussion - just picked up the book from the library

@janerosenzweig.bsky.social has been doing a lot of thinking about writing and AI this past year. Here she offers links to what many other people have been saying about the subject, which, for those of us who are interested (but lazy), is a gift. Happy New Year! open.substack.com/pub/writingh...

This is what you should read! www.harpercollins.com/products/sea...
