From L.A.'s Eastside to "The Edge of Space-Time" In her new book, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein explores the cosmos, climate change and who gets to go to the moon — with doses of “Alice in Wonderland” and Dodgers baseball, too.

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.“

Expanding on this:
Teach quotation, summary, paraphrase, citation at the beginning of every class, first activity after syllabus overview. Logic of citation, being able to retrace scholarly steps, replicate their work.

If/then poem

1 day ago 3 2 2 0

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.

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.

The husband has called me secretly mawkish, but I don’t think that’s a secret.

The Universe is Too F*cking Fabulous for Capitalism, Y'all! That's my favorite line from The Edge of Space-Time.

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."

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?

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."

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 :/
