Beyond thrilled to share that I'm writing my next book, AT HOME IN THE STARS. It's about the human expansion into space and space as a human environment. Think Carl Sagan meets Robert Macfarlane. 🪐✨🧑‍🚀🌱 If you want updates / news when the book is (someday) out: jaimealyse.behiiv.com

On a background image of stars and dust from the Hubble telescope, this text (a book deal announcement): "Science/Technology. Best American Science and Nature Writing series editor and author of the LA Times Book Prize finalist The Possibility of Life Jaime Green's AT HOME IN THE STARS a narrative journey into the promise and peril of our future in space and what it might mean from a scientific, philosophical, and cultural lens to expand into the cosmos, again to John Glynn at Hanover Square Press by Caroline Eisenmann at Francis Goldin Literary Agency.

There's something really lovely and satisfying about this (beyond even confirmation that Rockland isn't Upstate), the confluence of geography and culture, the little slivers like the Ohio River Valley and the Front Range, the separation and flow.

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

I'm assuming at least the very obvious extra tracks are intentional, something about people who had walked with the girl being gone. But also, authors don't pay for cover design, publishers do. The power is in, esp for big authors, getting a no-AI-design clause in the contract.

Tracks in the snow also that the child changed from a quadrupedal to bipedal gait once she encountered the stairs. Hey best-selling authors: pay real artists for your book covers & say no to AI slop.

A general sense of glowy sludge, but they’ve been careful with things like lines and patterns. But then there’s this: At the bottom, this bit of wood detail is in front of the window. By the top it blends into the wood behind it.

The Free Press is free this week to coincide with the CBS announcement. The first newsletter from them this morning was a head/dek that pretty much any reasonable person could get behind. They’re gonna be posting their most reasonable content over the next week or so as bait. Warn your parents etc.

Fungi Are Becoming Invaluable First Responders in Eco-Crises

When environmental disasters occur, live fungi are helping to quickly clean up everything from oil spills to toxic runoff.

Your shadow-self is out there, somewhere, lurking. It wears your face but it is NOT you; do not become confused. You will need to identify where it hides and hunt it down. Use a sharp knife and carry salt with you at all times. The heart can be eaten, but at a price.

Absolute hell poison to believe the most valuable ideals are open exchange, debate, and regard for the beliefs of others, instead of actual ethics.

Can you and your family afford to pay double or even triple the price for health insurance? Trump and Republicans have let the government shut down instead of lowering the cost for American families.
