Whenever I’d encounter a truly stunning passage in a book I was reading, I used to share it on social media.
Increasingly, I’m going back to my pre-Twitter practice of — brace for it — writing it down in a notebook.
It seems to have a greater impact there.

Who colonized Europe?
I love this passage from “Rehearsals for Living.” Undoing settler-colonialism and its deformed offspring will benefit ALL the peoples of the world. In fact, it will be a pre-condition to any meaningful survival that is not mere barbarism. #LandBack

I didn’t post yesterday in honour of Australia Day — or what activists and people of conscious have come to call #InvasionDay — but I was so inspired by all the signs making connections between the colonization of Australia and the current day colonialism/genocide in Gaza!

“That is what is happening here: they are holding captive an ailing planet. They are ramping up extraction even as the earth is fighting back, and they are criminalizing all of those who would deign to take the side of the earth. The side of the living.”

We’ve literally recorded using those headphones. Thrift-stores can be useful for living into nostalgia for times you never actually lived.

I love me some Ike Reilly - Salesmen and Racists was a revelation when I first heard it - but this is a bit steep for my blood. Still, ye ole local record store is still a lot cheaper than eBay or even Discogs.

Arvo Pärt’s Lamentate is both grand and intimate. It’s at once scathing while then tender, raucous then meditative.

Currently: All about this recording of Alfred Schnittke’s Requiem by the Swedish Radio Choir! Much like his Concerto for Choir, I can understand why the piece isn’t performed much but I can’t fathom why it holds such a diminutive place in listeners’ pantheons.
