Twenty-one things to enjoy today
Reviving an old series of recommendations
As an avid internet explorer, bookmark hoarder, creative-theory inclined, and overall curious person I have a few massive lists of music, poems, books, films, websites, amongst a million other curiosities. So massive that it is extremely selfish to keep it all to myself.
As a result, in 2020 I started a series of recommendations every week. I’m reviving this series by sharing the old log from that year. Today will be 21 things to enjoy but next week you can expect the classic short and sweet list of three.
Enjoy!
