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
Thank you so much for reading Jack! And I am glad that you are finding some of the references compelling, I have really loved putting poetry and space together here
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.
Beautiful essay, beautiful reflections here, thank you! 33 was a pivotal year for me, and writing about what happened to me through the lens of that age was so healing for me at the time. I really loved your perspective and the insights from your life and work you bring in here. Wishing you all the best this year and happy birthday!
Happy birthday, Karmela! (your Jesus age, indeed)
