I love your quote about there being so many stars. And this one too from Ehrenreich: "By not being aware of the stars and not thinking of them, there are a million myths and stories from all over the planet, some of them very old, some not very old at all, that we understand a tiny fraction of because we don’t understand them as narratives that exist in relation to the stars and that track the movements of the stars."
And because I'm so slow sometimes, I'm barely understanding Substack. Thanks to you, I launched my own! I had meant to tell you that after I inquired about an op-ed for the LA Times, I didn't need to. Christopher Knight had already been writing about my essay and some of the topic in it. I was floored! Anyway, I migrated over. Thanks for being an inspiration in so many ways. I'm usually a quiet lurker, but not today. And wow, yes, so many stars!
Hi Betsy, sorry about that! I think they must have changed the URLs. I've updated the links in the post, but this one should take you right to the story: https://www.actionspectacle.com/jimruland

That's so great to hear, Nicholas. I'll check it out!
I loved this post but the links to "Cat Sitting in Hollywood" didn't seem to work for me. Is it me or us something amiss?
