There is, in Aotearoa New Zealand, a tree called the horoeka. It is heteroblastic, which means that the juvenile form of the tree is very different to the adult form—so different, in fact, that the two forms were historically believed to be different species. It’s easy to see why. In the botanic gardens, the leaves […]
I don’t have to tell you that this is strange. Living in the time of COVID-19, the many small and large changes leave us feeling shifted askew. Sometimes weeks feel like months, and sometimes months feel like days. People wear life-saving masks around their necks. Since Mary Shelley’s The Last Man, science fiction has tried […]
We live in interesting times. Some of us have always lived in interesting times. What’s different now is we can all agree that these times? They sure are interesting.

I’ve always had trouble going outside. Depression, anxiety, and slight agoraphobia have crafted me into a creature content to stay at home. Trips away from my hearth are for necessities like work or errands. Vacations are rather unheard of. Sometimes I will travel farther afield, to a bigger city nearby, and I usually spend the […]

I had just been to a first-run showing of the original Star Wars when I started keeping a notebook of my plans for outer space. The stories there came with star maps and spaceship diagrams. It was a galactic conquest, but of a benevolent sort. That was a long while ago, but still on the scale […]
