From Wikipedia:
In physics, escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for a free, non-propelled object to escape from the gravitational influence of a massive body, that is, to eventually reach an infinite distance from it.
Escape Velocity was an essay project undertaken from the spring of 2021 through the fall of 2023. There were two purposes. One: practice writing short-form critical nonfiction. Two: explore ways of, and things related to, staying autonomous in a passive, whirlpool culture. Some pieces are about contemporaneous events, others try to be demonstrations of “escape” rather than explications of it. The project ended when my interests shifted toward fiction and longer form writing.
