Nine People I'd Like To Know Better
Tagged by my lolitics mutual @georgeosbornescokedealer !!
Last Book: I've been on and off Timothy Snyder's Bloodlands, the Baldwin Papers, and David Marquand's Ramsay MacDonald finding excerpts as needed. Not a book but I've also been perusing the Punch almanacs as of late (I should probably finish Bloodlands).
Last Song: “Emblem” by Utsu-P (embarrassing, I know; I swear I told myself I'd get off Vocaloid years ago, but the producers and the technology keep getting better and this song has Gumi's low tuning and... [embarrassed])
Last Film: Last week I watched Die Blechtrommel (1979) for a German department film screening, and will never watch it again. It was probably the freakiest (derogatory) movie I've ever seen and I went in blind knowing nothing other than it was about World War II.
Last Series: Number 10 (1983), I still have Pitt the Younger and Wellington to watch... but the MacDonald episode was PEAK and I only wish there was a sequel!! A whole series really. MacDonald biopic when?? 👀
Last Video Game: I haven't played video games in years, but if I had to guess... Minecraft?
Sweet or Salty: Typically salty!
Coffee or Tea: Preferably tea but coffee as needed (both unsweet).
Working On: A lot of things, but I'm always looking for more blog content — more texts to read, more cartoons to caption, more unwatermarked photos to track down — or consolidating the sources already in my blog arsenal. As of writing this post, I've recently opened channels with the V&A to correct one of their interwar records after spotting a few errors, as well as adding more information to MacDonald's Wikipedia dropdown in the “Cultural Depictions” section. More on both to come!
This was so much fun — thanks for tagging me! 😁
