Susan Griffin

01Griffin's 'Pornography and Silence' (1981) used close readings of Hugh Hefner's published manifestos to argue pornography was hatred wearing the costume of desire.
02Her 1978 'Woman and Nature' was composed in two alternating voices — one the authoritative voice of Western science, one the body it was describing.
03Griffin was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 1980 partly on the strength of work her own academic department had refused to recognize as scholarship.

01The last stars will burn out in approximately 100 trillion years; after that, only stellar corpses remain for quadrillions more.
02Black hole evaporation via Hawking radiation means a stellar-mass black hole takes 10^67 years to vanish — the longest countdown in physics.
03In heat death, entropy is maximized: no information can be processed, meaning no thought, computation, or memory is physically possible anywhere.

Susan Griffin's 1978 book 'Woman and Nature' interleaved passages about scientific objectivity, factory farming, and the Nazi medical experiments on Jewish women to argue they were the same cognitive operation. She wrote it as prose poetry, not argument.
