Thanks to @nadrakn.bsky.social for this piece about my relationship to California & how it shapes my space-time:
“You need to know that your relationship to the universe is more important than your relationship to Donald Trump … you choose how you will relate with the rest of the cosmos, not him.“

If/then poem
A faceless woman says “bro”
Not in kinship
But a nod to
What shared secrets
On the other side
Of the telephone
There might be
If only I weren’t listening.
Oh thank you!
I want to make a video poem
Destruction won this round….
Bought a barrier so that big dog wouldn’t go into the kitchen and destroy stuff.
Gay husband said: “no, it’s ugly.”
Put away barrier.
Dog continued destroying.
One day, while husband was gone, I put up the barrier again, just to see.
Dog. Jumped. Over.
Destruction ensued.
And also sleep
The husband has called me secretly mawkish, but I don’t think that’s a secret.
If the fact of freedom were a body in love.
Coming up at @intellpublics.bsky.social from @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social at @cuny.edu This is going to be so great!!
NEW: a few notes from the road about releasing The Edge of Space-Time while the president threatens genocide:
"It is also about how we teach our minds to imagine the most fantastical possibilities, like we might get ourselves out of this. That’s possible. There’s no cosmic rule saying we can’t."
Announcement:
To threaten the annihilation of a civilization is both a very American and very genocidal thing. I cannot fathom the depravity of such a statement. And yet, how does such an utterance fail to surprise? How does this man breathe the same air as those he would see erased from this earth?
My new book debuts today but my excitement about this has been eclipsed by getting an email from my friend in Tehran, who is alive!!!!! I’ve been terrified for weeks. Thank you, universe!!!
Other than the bible!

What is a book that people cite but do not read?

What if every department had to ask itself why Indigenous people are not present?
What if every science project had to ask itself why Indigenous people are not present?
I’ve turned my snark to a 10. Every time I get an email suggesting I should be interested in some hard science thing, some mega powered physics, or quantum or whatever, I'm replying,
"I would like to know if any
Indigenous people are involved, so l can support them."
How will you imagine freedom today?
I also have a pinched nerve and am feeling not good about how my body is unable to heal itself in ways it maybe could have when I was younger :/
