Follow My New Blog!

Hey folks!

After maintaining my blog on WordPress for many years, I recently made the move to Substack. If you’d like to read my writing going forward, you can follow my new blog: Miscellaneous Debris.

Much of my attention recently has been occupied by authoritarianization of Australia in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. If you’re interested, these are the articles I’ve written on this subject on Substack:

• Authoritarianism Is Ascendant in Australia (June 23)
• Freedom of the Press Under Attack (June 30)
• A Plea for Balance (July 1)
• To My Country (July 25)
• Australia 2021: A Lament (July 27)
• Send In the Troops: The Elitism and Authoritarianism of Australia’s Talking Class (July 30)

As always, I try to find time to write about other interests, too. I wrote a couple of pieces about music recently, and hope to write more in the future. If you’d like to read them, they are:

• Jazz: Hip, Square, and Rhomboid (July 19)
• Notes on Townes Van Zandt and Elliott Smith (July 20)

And that’s all — peace!
