A nice little zine that helps make some git actions clear. Also helpful as an easy reference for folks like me, who use git often but don't always use all of its features.

On to book #9 on the Modern Library Top 100 list, and the last book in the 9s. Some considered this the best English novel ever written. I'm excited to read it, especially after the pleasant surprise of how much I liked Women in Love.

A bit outdated but not a bad overview of the fundamentals. I learned a couple things.
Such great architecture in Bucharest. Just an absolute understated gem of a city
Casually perusing this coffee table book of Art Deco architecture in Bucharest. A Romanian coworker gave me this as a gift, she knew I liked the style and love Romania. Bucharest is an absolute architectural a gem of a city, if you know how to look at it.

Before I head into uncharted territory with the last 3 books, I ought to close out some of the short stories. At least up to where I’ve read so far.

Ein zetilich gut angesetztes Buch, das mit queerer deutscher Geschichte von der Weimar Ära biz zur Gegenwart behandeln.
After a couple months away from the series, it’s time to dive into the sixth book in the Expanse series, and I am looking forward to getting beyond the TV series.
This book tells the heartbreaking and remarkable story of Christine Ratcliffe, a cabaret dancer who came to work as a plotter in the Lascaris War Rooms, earning a British Empire Medal for her work. It’s also a story of how in the decades after the war she never really got over the trauma of Malta’s years of hell. Unexpectedly fantastic.
A little history. I picked this book up in Malta at a museum a few years back. It’s a story of the women who worked as plotters at the RAF base on the strategic island nation of Malta, which despite frequent Nazi bombardment never fell, serving as a critical Mediterranean base for the Allies.
Romania is such a beautiful country, with amazing landscapes and architecturally stunning cities. I absolutely love it there. A great little photo book.
Figure I should actually learn a bit about how terraform actually works instead just hacking my way through it like usual.
I had high hopes for this book to provide some radical new insight or at least alternative perspectives. Instead it was mostly a rote recitation of facts and trends, with a few naive takes on internet culture and politics, bothsidesism, and the pandemic. Shallow.
