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.

I am tired of doing research on satellite pollution. I am tired of talking to journalists about satellite pollution. I am tired of talking to politicians about satellite pollution.

But I am real fucking tired of seeing satellites all over the sky every night, and these are the tools I have to fight it.

So, I'll be on the CBC morning radio shows in Regina and Saskatoon tomorrow, talking about, you guessed it...

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?
