Oh! Just remembered the dream I had.

Great strides had been made in perfecting plastic, oil and toxic waste recycling. A machine had been created! All you had to do was input whatever into a large hopper, no sorting required. Solids, liquids. The end product out the other end was stable carbon, water and trace amounts of minerals. That is to say: Turtles. Just hordes and hordes of turtles, alive and well, in every species, hurtling out of a hopper! 🐢

Environmental experts felt conflicted.

Today I listened to a bunch of talks on local Indigenous traditional knowledge, went for a hike during the conference lunch break with my partner, talked with an elder at a First Nation that might have SpaceX junk on it, answered a bazillion emails on car ride home, had a pre-interview for a local TV news filming tomorrow while I was simultaneously making dinner and making cheese, had a friend over for dinner+farm tour, helped another goat give birth.

This is all so great, but WOW I'm tired.

This is a great article, and I am 100% delighted by their description of me!! "Lawler has been an academic Chicken Little for years about the danger of freefalling space shit, especially in a time when space travel has been privatized and so many bored billionaires would rather spend their money playing Spaceman Spiff than, say, solving world hunger or the climate crisis"
