 Thank you, Eryn, for the warm welcome and introductions! Sewing is fun, isn't it? At least when the seam ripper isn't involved. 😅 I work in quality engineering. What kinds of things are you interested in? Oh, and by the way, your profile banner may be the greatest I've seen in my life!

 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.
