Nothing notable this weekend or even today - mostly spent it reorganizing, chilling, and being with some friends yesterday. Also debating to myself about starting the upcoming blog sabbatical early so I can focus on the trip. I'm finding I have little to write about right now and have been mostly reposting random things I've found. Not sure what this blog should look like going forward but might stick with the "Curator over Writer" model since I've been noticing eyeballs on the posts from all over the world (posting to Reddit's been helping, apparently).

Speaking of Reddit, got into a little bit of funk due to a thread (embedded below today's album) I saw about blogging in general. That and hearing commentors talk about the Surrounded episode with Medhi Hasan. I know very little about Hasan but every time I hear about Jubilee Media's videos, I'm convinced they do more harm than good and hope they tank sometime soon so I never have to hear of them again...

Today's album is Waiata by Split Enz (1981) and the featured image is from Yux Xiang. - 7/21/25
