Washington Irving

Washington Irving was a squatter at the Alhambra in the 1820s, where he wrote his famous book (as were many other people!), and I think it’s nice that Granada is now home to a thriving population of crust punks confining the tradition. https://t.co/LeT1wROEhS

I’m loving Neil Price’s “Children of Ash and Elm” - especially his fascinating, thoughtful attention to Viking concepts of gender and queer identities. Highly recommended. (He’s an archaeologist who worked on the Birka grave of a AFAB warrior). https://t.co/dHa0GRa4Xs

It was also interesting to get a current Chicago focused story on heat wave mitigation, as I really enjoyed reading Eric Klinenberg's classic book on the 1995 Chicago heat wave last year https://t.co/oI8QY7VyzI
