"The Moon upon her fluent Route (1528)

The Moon upon her fluent Route
Defiant of a Road—
The Star’s Etruscan Argument
Substantiate a God—

If Aims impel these Astral Ones
The ones allowed to know
Know that which makes them as forgot
As Dawn forgets them—now—"

—Emily Dickinson

The last time i did Lalande 21185. Second planet (aka "Pofu-pipya"*) in an 8.1y orbit. Third might be 215.62 days. This article is from June '25.

"The closest thing the left had to an answer to the question of what the future should look like (including aesthetically though with mixed results) was the green new deal. the petering out of that movement’s popular momentum in the Biden years has left a void that has yet to be filled"

Me: Been thinking about this a lot. i remember a time when it seemed like the Whole Earth Catalog would find a way. Then for awhile it was enough to live in some old, old building. Arcosanti got farther & farther off. Till one day we woke up & Mad Max had won.
