Happy birthday, Karmela! (your Jesus age, indeed)

I so loved this essay! There is so much here to digest, ponder (as always, actually)… Danez Smith, the writing you share from their poem Bluff is wonderful (and I knew nothing of them before)

and that new map of the universe (a version of it in Leah Crane’s New Scientist piece), the distribution of the galaxy clusters and the voids in between, I have been staring at it for three days now , transfixed, enraptured

Happy incoming birthday. As ourselves and the world changes, often in challenging forms, I wish for us to hold together in big and small ways, including within ourselves.

I love hearing different people's intentions behind "they". I can get behind most of folks' reasons, and it makes me wonder if there's a fit for me in there. Forget the binary.

I watched 90s X-Men this year for the first time, and my partner and I have been watching the movies as a kind of cultural catch-up. I'm glad to understand the whole thing and its obvious parallels more intimately than I ever did looking in from the outside.
