Your reminder that Humboldt Fog cheese, Humboldt County, CA, the Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti),and the Humboldt Current that allows wine grapes to grow in Chile are all named for an 18th C gay scientist whose love letters were all burned and who left his entire estate to his “valet.” 🏳️‍🌈

I have difficulty with Bsky because I can't find clients that keep their place in my timeline so I can come back and catch up on what I've missed easily. People ask why I want that. Today. Today is why I want that.
