I enjoy writing, especially about water politics and technologies that attempt to control water. However, I also enjoy thinking about current events, the state of the historical field, the whisky I drink, and the music I listen to — so I’ve decided to spend what limited time I have in sharing my thoughts with you on a weekly/bi-weekly basis. If you subscribe, you can be sure to be entertained or educated for at least five minutes of your life each week. Nevertheless, I know everyone’s email inboxes are full of scary fundraising emails and scary work related emails, so I won’t mind if you just subscribe to this newsletter to spare my feelings but only pretend to read it.
