Notes, Columns, & Papers: June 2024
Pdf format, for those who wish them, of the substantial & semi-substantial things for 2024-06: 24,800 words…

I am not sure why. The explanations I get is that they seem to have a welcome fixity of form, as opposed to the web-river, into which one can never step in in the same place twice? I do not really understand it.
But I am happy to experiment.
Tell me if this kind of thing is useful…
