A word of explanation

When my book The Underground Is Massive was published in 2015, I made a Tumblr blog to put the notes and citations on, since I didn't think there'd be space in the book itself--I'd cut the whole thing to exactly the right size, after all. Six years on, i.e. today, I was looking at those notes, and realized that no one can read then who doesn't already have a Tumblr account. So I'm re-doing them here. That one had links; most of them no longer work, so I'll be abandoning them here. Enjoy!
