I wake up without the alarm at 0400 every day now. My alarm doesn’t even go off til 0500. I only want to stay up late looking at the stars, but haven’t done that in forever.

I’ve become what I hate.

Oh I definitely get to see them in the morning, briefly. But I would prefer to not to sleep during the nights at all, and just stay up all night with my telescope. My job has just forced my circadian rhythm over to this.

Lego, vinyl records, safety razors, guns, books, knives, flashlights, woodworking, Arduinos and raspberry pi’s…

So many barely fleshed out hobbies.

If only. I have to get hands on.

It’s on the wish list.

All those glasses are two-dimensional.

I’m high.

“Nice to meet you! Hey, I just thought of a real dumb joke. Bet you never heard it before. But nevermind that, tell me about yourself.”

Some might say the top, if you will.

That’s what they do. They take words that mean something serious and misuse them until most people don’t understand them anymore.

Not exactly what you mean, but I’m a traveling wind tech. It’s pretty remote most of the time. I live in a camper, which I haul with a 20 year old diesel truck, so it ain’t ideal. But between my job and no kids, I suspect my carbon footprint is negative. I hope to buy land and build a small solarpunk earthship community in the deserts of New Mexico near a wind farm where I can work. Maybe an RV park too.
