I've been looking for a portable Walkman cassette player on and off for the last few years, whenever I'm reminded that the evils of wage labor have rewarded me with the joy of eating delivery pizzas without needing to skip meals. I have an eBay search with the models I'm most enamored with bookmarked, and I've...
A slower reading month but I've been loving my journey back into the weird world of PKD! The post Reading Roundup: July 2026 appeared first on The Wallflower Digest.

The reduction process has begun. The first part was that ridiculous basement. So much crap. The main pieces are sorted. Now the difficult process of removing items that may potentially have an emotional element to them - it’s sometimes a delicate balance. Then after the basement, the ground level will get sorted...
In the early 1930s, as fascism in Germany grew from strength to strength, the great Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky wrote a series of pamphlets and articles to explain the nature of fascism and to argue for a working class strategy that could defeat it. These articles, several of the most important of which are...
August 2, 2026 Yes, I never post on Sundays. But I’ve had an idea kicking around in my head for a few weeks, and I wanted to put it into words.

The skyline of modern Shanghai is something of a wonder – it’s like a mix of Bladerunner, Ghost in the Shell and The Fifth Element combined, even though that fairly lazy simile doesn’t do it justice (I shouldn’t really imagine the present using yesterday’s science fiction – it’s there in front of me). Yet although...

An exuberant jumble sale of a book, stuffed full of gladiator rememorabilia and random facts of Roman life.If you donā€˜t know anything about Roman gladiators and you donā€˜t really care where...
I know I’m ostentatiously late to this understanding, but boy, Tailscale is pretty cool. I had been tinkering with making Navidrome available via Synology’s reverse proxy, kept failing to get it working, and finally just installed the Tailscale package. I logged in on the Synology, logged in on my phone, and — just...
I came across this ten-year-old mix by Time Is Away on NTS this week, half of whose similar tracks I’d heard before, and I’d wanted to hear them together somehow: If I’m in London before it ends I’d like to have a look at their Department of Euterpe exhibition at the Warburg Institute. § This week was focused on...
Content Warning: Graphic description of a fentanyl overdose. I get my lunch from the same deli every day. Today, I step up to the counter, look straight into the face of the nice guy who weighs my hot bar container Monday through Friday (unless I get a tuna salad sandwich that week) and, my voice shaking, I ask, ā€œDo...
