    Someone at the makerspace last week asked how I seemingly know how to use every tool from sewing machines to soldering irons and lathes to lasers, and my reply was that my favourite thing to do is learn. Whenever people ask what I want to _do_ with a skill I’m learning I often have no response, I just love learning things to learn them and get good at them. I’ll definitely find uses later, but it’s not why I learn stuff.

    @sen this is exactly what kept me in academia for so many years.

    and it only became more enjoyable when i moved from enjoying learning, to enjoying teaching people how to learn.
