Got into Vonnegut as a teen after reading Slaughterhouse-Five, my dad had a copy from college (and I later dug Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions, my favorite of his). But I'd never seen the movie adaptation of Slaughterhouse-Five from 1972, so I'm watching it now. So far, so good- captures what I remember of the book pretty well.

Here's to the weirdness of becoming unstuck in time 🕒⏳

Scientist prose poet Ed Yong, on his next book, "The Infinite Extent":

"...think at scales beyond our normal experiences. We have to appreciate threats too small to see, violence too slow to feel, and global chains of influence too convoluted to comprehend. We must act collectively. We are not a small species; it is time to stop thinking like one."

I can hardly wait. But I have to, because I'm stuck here in time.
