I like Kurt Russel as Captain Ron. Grace Under Pressure on in almost any circumstance. I like dark planetariums. I like when she wears them low-cut shirts and yoga pants. I like unbroken snow on lodgepole pine boughs. The rusty pump of a jay's forest communiqué. And I like a rowdy fuckin' Pride parade.
I like how Hedges tells it like it is. I like the sciences. I like profound mysteries. I like The Supremes' 'You Can't Hurry Love' and the emergence of competing histories. And I like the Maple Leafs cuz they remind me of me: inconsistent, fragile, internationally reviled. I like allegories. Cinderella stories.

Nagamok isina! (Go ahead and sing you guys! Sing real hard guys!)
I like speculative fiction: dark narratives of the future that looms. Of our impending doom.
