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.

Dear white friends: It's Black Friday when Black Mastodon celebrates its cultural heritage.
Follow the hashtag periodically today. I've already enjoyed music I haven't heard since I was a teenager; I've also seen some great artwork and bookmarked some reading material.
Expand your world with #BlackFriday every week. Boost Black and BIPOC voices as you do so.
And follow @BlackAzizAnansi who's made a great start increasing Mastodon's cultural diversity.
@CatScratchFeverIsReal I have an online friend who lives in El Paso, with her wife. She tells us what it's like.
@ScottSoCal I completely get that. Especially living here in deep Red Texas. I always try to keep my work life and my social media life separate. Not only is it necessary for my mental health but my possible physical well-being as well.
This holiday season remember that the cancelled child tax creditβwhich slashed childhood poverty by 30%βwould've cost only $1.7T over the next decade, while the ever expanding Defense Budget will cost around $9T over the next decade.
Children are suffering and starving now because corporate bought politicians would rather by bombs than bread.
We can thank GOP & Manchin/Sinema for this cruelty and grotesquely misplaced priorities. A reminder that our standard must be justice above all else.
@QasimRashid And the Republican tax cuts for the wealthy will cost over $10T, while raising taxes on everyone else.

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.)
