Thinking about…
spacetime returns: a “new” blog on an “old” site. This main section of my new blog setup might be called “Thinking,” but it is mainly “Writing” as well, like a free/automatic writing practice that helps me make sense of things: self-reflection, academia, relationships. It is either thanks to stream of consciousness writing helping me in…

Thinking about things I was fighting before I knew what I was fighting
I’m so very bad at linear time and calendars, but I remember things later – a reflection about May 2023 in May 2024

A Fool’s Journey
There is little point in arguing my humanity against those who dehumanize me, but perhaps there is a point in leaving evidence of how much hardship this entailed.

Q&A for Angharad with books and writing as dream- and spellwork
A series of interviews with “Karin’s peer community,” a space where I dialogue with the people who inspired and conspired in my PhD offenses and more. After my long spacetime delays between asking, writing, and posting: Angharad “Hari” Lodwick with the imaginations and relations in working and thinking through words

You probably think this post is about you
Only if the “you” has been engaged in sabotaging me and trying to fail my PhD in the worst kinds of ways. For purposes of libel and whatever when I bring in the names of Putin and Pol Pot and Caligula, I’m phrasing this to a generic “you” reader. Several wars and genocides haunt me,…

A series of interviews with “Karin’s peer community,” a space where I dialogue with the people who inspired and conspired in my PhD offenses and more. First off: Caleb Lázaro Moreno with webs of dreams, spiders, and worms falling through the in-between

Equilibrium in waters
A short note on swimming for Enlightenment. I went swimming today. This is worth mentioning for many reasons. Least of all that maybe my energy has returned from more than a year of nauseous hell, when only counting the more than 53 weeks between submitting a PhD against the fake supervisor’s will on July 5,…

Con/science and meta/physics
In one of my family lunch inquiries about German philosophers, my brother mentioned to me how “Naturphilosophie” or “nature philosophy” was the precursor term or lens to natural science. This was when musings on physics and philosophy were still closer kin, and one wasn’t named a hard “science,” while the other fell into disrepute for…

Synergies of fire and water
This is an expanded/edited version of something I wrote in September 2021 to be translated into Italian as “Eco-logiche Indigene” for the Italian print magazine menelique issue on ecologies. The hook for the article I wrote for the Fall/Winter 2021 menelique issue on “ecologie” was framed around an XR action against WWF that August, days…

UHM Creative Writing conference: Words@Mānoa 2022
These are some free writing exercises I did for the UHM Creative Writing workshop, April 9, 2022. Sha Ongelungel hosted a session on “Indigenous Power and Solidarity,” which influenced the framing of our upcoming interview, as well as the trajectory of the first few posts here, thanks to the great moderation by leilani portillo. “Indigenous…

Dedication + Dreams/Manifestation => Love + Generosity + Fulfillment
This *new and improved* blog is meant to be a semi-academic musing to my previous research, as well as a community space to ponder new strategies and plans for what is to come next. This first post was mostly written in late March and added to what was to be my new blog in early…
