 It might be faster to list what I’m not interested in 😅 
But top interests are Christianity, nature (as a very broad term incl. the sciences, foraging, cooking, herbal medicine, and permaculture), anthropology/folklore, fiction and writing (especially hard sci-fi), music and composition, art (I do pottery and crochet), and my family (husband @boatingaccident and our baby, and stuff surrounding pregnancy/breastfeeding and homeschooling that supports future plans)

 Haha as I type this I’m on the way to a meeting of a grassroots food freedom group, making me realize I didn’t even mention another big complex of interests, libertarianism/anarchy/building parallel systems

 Thanks for sharing! So much great stuff and a lot of overlap here. My hubby and I are planning to start a family soon, so I'm looking forward to reading anything you share along your journey! I'm very much into nature, as well, in all it's dimensions and applications. I actually had chronic illness for almost 10 years, and herbal supplements were a huge part of my recovery. Do you favorite sci-fi writers? I'm a huge fan of Ray Bradbury and Ted Chiang, and pick up the annual best sci-fi short story compilations each year, though perhaps not quite hard sci-fi. It's amazing that you do music composition! I have no rhythm and music is a skill I'm ever in awe of.
