Extrovert shell, introvert filling.
I'm a reader, and lover of radio, nature, and science;
and proud that someone called me a polymath.

@cocoron What's mindblowing about this to me is how people can want to jump into a sphere where they clearly haven't done the research at all. Like, I read upwards of 10 e-books a month from the library. There are multiple apps that support this. Hell, even if you want to talk about it in the context of paying, Amazon has Kindle Unlimited which is literally the same model as Spotify/Netflix. "Do you even read, bro?"

I think Mastodon is a social medium...
To the Maker Faire in San Mateo tomorrow, with friends! It has the closest thing to what I got from Burning Man over ten years ago: an encouraged feeling about things that I want to work on, and a silenced inner critic.
People at the Maker Faire are so interesting and so willing to talk about details.
I lament the loss of the Fiber Arts (sewing, weaving, felting), and increasing corporate presence, but it's still worth going.
After we spend all day there, we'll eat nearby at L****e S*****n.
I think it's in a stand of Artemesia tridentata, or Great Basin Sagebrush.
There's this thing for public transport in Wuppertal (Germany) called the #Schwebebahn, in operation since 1901, which is quite awesome. Beware, I may get excited tooting about it, so I'll continue with CWs 🛤👌
I scythed around a thousand square feet of grassland yesterday, with surprisingly little body abuse (just overuse). The grasses had bloomed and were setting seed, the forbs (whistles, prickly lettuce and mustards) were bolting and budding. The ground was still moist enough that I could pull most of the bigger forbs.
I usually would not mow until much later, but I have an intrusive inspection next week and people like grass to look like a suburban lawn.

My neighbors buckskin cow died some time last night, at the far reach of their property on my fenceline. I can see her through the trees from my bathroom window.
It'll be interesting to see what happens next. They might not notice for a while (they are renters and being ejected so the owner can sell to what we think is a shell nonprofit religious organization), so the vultures might find her today.
I put a sheep out for them a decade ago. They picked her clean in three days.
Saw that Roger Penrose was going to speak today at 3:30 at the auditorium. I made a point of attending, but sat near an aisle so I could bail out if I was in too deep but it turned out good. I got a lot of the humor. The place was packed. High point of my day.
