hello you,
The number of hours we have together is actually not so large. Please linger near the door uncomfortably instead of just leaving.
For the third episode of from a tall child podcast (and the last for this season), some ruminations on the act of leaving, on points of decimation and grief, and on the culmination of remembering.
Featuring the works of June Jordan (https://poems.com/poem/two-poems-jordan/), Mitski, Allen Fernando, Christoph Gluck (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUpZ1Npj23M&t=2808s), Mikko Harvey (https://tallchild.substack.com/p/for-m-by-mikko-harvey?s=w), Madeleine Cravens (https://as.vanderbilt.edu/nashvillereview/archives/17304), and Florence And The Machine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOwEyguXc6E). This episode also features an excerpt from Stephen Colbert’s interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u_TswLQ4ws) with Andrew Garfield and some scenes from the films Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (https://letterboxd.com/film/eternal-sunshine-of-the-spotless-mind/) by Michelle Gondry and A Ghost Story (https://letterboxd.com/film/a-ghost-story-2017/) by David Lowery.

to be young in so thoroughly finished a time
In 2022 a UN report (https://www.ipcc.ch/report/sixth-assessment-report-working-group-ii/) on climate change indicated that harmful carbon emissions from 2010 to 2019 have never been higher in human history, a proof that the world is on a “fast track” to disaster, with scientists claiming that it’s ‘now or never’ to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees.
For the second episode of from a tall child podcast, some meditations on what it means to be alive and hopeful in a world that faces an impending climate catastrophe.
