So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

@QasimRashid And the Republican tax cuts for the wealthy will cost over $10T, while raising taxes on everyone else.
@CatScratchFeverIsReal
I surprise people who know me from work, if we ever start talking about things beyond work. At work I'm systematic, even rigidly inflexible. That's what I'm supposed to be.
Outside that - let your freak flag fly! I've borrowed heels from drag queens to dance in, I've been on stage in a thong and oil and nothing else, I've been auctioned off as part of a fundraiser.
All just part of being human, and alive.
@DiamondHeighter @MeidasTouch I could see that. Yeah, that's possible.
Hi new followers!
Welcome to the other side!
Got any questions?
@godpod
Can you make a rock so heavy you can't lift it?
My mastadon link at my pinned tweet on Twitter is now warning anyone who clicks on it that the sight may be βunsafe.β
You know what actually feels unsafe right now? Musk on Twitter.
Iβm glad weβre *maybe* giving Patriot missiles to Ukraine. But itβs not entirely clear to me how that helps Ukraine win this war. They need long-range missiles. Why arenβt we providing them, but Iran can?
8. Once I realized this, I shut up so Katie and Drew could ask him questions. Musk basically ignored the questions and kept repeating, "no doxxing" and "no special rules for journalists"
When Drew pressed him, he quickly bolted.
He does not like to be challenged or questioned.
Love letter to #Mastodon:
Itβs weird how the brain (well, mine anyway) got so used to associating social media to doomscrolling, that coming here almost like a warm blanket on my brain.
I open this app and find incredibly smart, witty and empathetic folks who find each other by searching hashtags. What a concept!
@aravosis
The patriot missiles aren't for offense, they're for defense. By positioning them around at-risk cities, to stop Russian missile attacks, they can free up the missile embankments they have, and start using them for offense. The patriot missiles are also more effective, which will help there.

So almost 24 hours on Mastodon and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Excited to have almost 100 followers 
Bluebird had become so unpleasant.
There are great people on there, but it's getting through the boatloads of bots or RWNJ's that was it's downfall.
I would liken it it to Andy in #ShawshankRedemption crawling through hundreds of feet of raw sewage to get out to the blessed rain outside. #freefromtwitter
Pour one out for the turducken tonight.

He's not paying his bills.
Advertisers are running away.
User count is dropping like a rock.
He's threatened bankruptcy.
He's selling at a per-share price equal to the inflated price he paid.
Sure, why not? I'm sure I have an extra couple of billion sitting around here. Let me check under the sofa cushions.
Hey,
Thank you for boosting other peopleβs posts so generously! So much good stuff. I have a great home feed! πππ
β‘οΈ Thereβs no AI/algorithm. Itβs up to us to boost! π
β‘οΈ Keep in mind to also boost #BlackMastodon, #Indigenous, and #PoC (People of Colour) posts. Make an effort to follow people with different experiences and backgrounds. (If you feel uncomfortable, sit with it, read, learn.)
When the loudness of the world cannot listen to your heart, the quietness of nature keeps its ears and arms open for you.
From the lake near my cabin in the wilderness of the Yukon, I am dispatching joy, hope, healing and positivity.

Books by James Baldwin, one of Americaβs greatest intellectuals, humanists and activists (he was also a film critic* and historian) that I highly recommend. Well, I highly recommend all of them including the one in my photo. Here are just a few of the other Baldwin books you must read:
Go Tell It On The Mountain
Notes Of A Native Son
No Name In The Street
The Devil Finds Work*
Another Country
If Beale Street Could Talk
The Evidence Of Things Not Seen

Evidence Of Things Not Seen was a chore to get through, but worth it.
Great news!
In a landmark judgement, the Barbados High Court has issued a ruling that decriminalized consensual same-sex relations.
Barbados becomes the 3rd Eastern Caribbean country in 2022 to strike down discriminatory legal provisions and decriminalize gay sex, after Antigua and Barbuda and Saint Kitts and Nevis.
