Also spotted first 'I ❤️ nuance' bumper sticker in the wild, which I think comes from the fabulous Seamas Carey whose brilliant podcast 'the reason why' is well worth a listen for anyone who wants to understand Cornwall's complex social issues a bit better https://seamascareymusic.com/the-reason-why

How has anyone successfully dealt with a tone policer? Like what can you actually do when it's happening to you repeatedly from one person, in a work context, only ever in group settings?

Last pic didn't show up when posted, so no image description, but it is the view from the shed window where am holed up because the rainclouds burst dramatically. Nothing beats sheds in the rain.

Finally got a proper allotment day, pinkest chard, big fat fennel with happy broad beans coming up that miraculously the slugs have left completely alone, and the biggest Jerusalem artichoke ever. All no dig, no herbicides/pesticides/artificial fertilisers (frogs and manure do those jobs nicely).

Cute seeing people earnestly posting their wordle results on the birdsite, like it's the early 2022s.

Today in institutional logos that give me a headache - why are the letters all at slightly different heights? Is there a reason, other than to just be slightly irritating for the fun of it?

Aaron Swartz's birthday feels kind of poignant as we witness a mass influx to this fabulous open source decentralised software. Hopefully the winds are finally turning.

Attempt at an #introduction

I run a non-profit in Cornwall (UK) where we do #research, make hardware/software (usually to do with #ClimateChange #environment #PublicEngagement #SciComm #DIYBio or something like that), design/run events usually to get broader voices involved in research in some way. Everything we make is #OpenSource and we take #OpenScience #privacy and #ethics very seriously. I'm also a happily recovered genetics #academic. Will post pics of #dogs and #allotment stuff too.
