Feeling extremely burned out on my academic work, which lately has been almost 100% focused on satellite pollution. So I spent all weekend doing farm work instead, which was mostly very pleasant.
Turns out pulling weeds and shoveling literal shit is WAY fucking better than writing useless-but-important FCC comments about incredibly fucking dangerous shit (metaphorical shit) techbros want to launch into orbit.
And then we had a little farm accident. Everything is fine, but with a moment of hesitation or a misstep, that could have turned out EXTREMELY bad.
(A nice reminder that farming is actually quite dangerous. And farming is incredibly important, obviously.)
Everything can change in a moment. So what to spend my time on?
@sundogplanets friendo, you have gone from goat farmer and professor to International Voice of Reason in a short amount of time. The work you've done and continue to do is so important, but please remember to take time to rest. ❤️❤️❤️
my 9.5 fingers and I know just how dangerous farms are when you are tired and burnt out. Be safe out there.
