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.

The U.S. on Friday hit six executives and board members of an Iranian drone manufacturer with sanctions after the firm allegedly supplied Moscow with drones that Russian forces have been using to attack Ukraine. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-iran-politics-us-department-of-the-treasury-military-technology-44d79e61be9ae00e52fb14dfc8cbf21c?utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter

Yesterday I had a rather unpleasant shopping experience as a #trans woman. I was at a consignment store.
A woman grumbled at me for existing near her. We were both looking at office supplies.
An Englishman (in conversation with an employee about how cool the monarchy is) abruptly halted his conversation and stared at me any time I was near. This happened 3x.
The icing on the proverbial cake was when an employee took a picture of me while I was at the checkout. Wherever that photo goes, it reduces my safety.
I'm ok and have adequate support systems to cope with it. But that's not every trans person's experience, and I worry about my trans siblings. Arm yourselves, my siblings. I carry a simple force multiplyer tool, do what makes sense for you. Anything is better than nothing at all.
Be extra kind to your trans friends, and do what it takes to shut up your local transphobes. βοΈ

Every accusation is a confession.
Always. Every goddamn time. It's like they're advertising the truth about themselves when they start LGBTQ-bashing.

Yes it took me 33 years to realize I'm trans but it also took me 20+ years to realize that nobody outside my family pronounces "sherbet" like it's spelled "sherbret" so maybe it just takes me time to figure stuff out
@aprilkirby
I gave up years ago, and just went with "sorbet".
Yeah, it's a different thing, but no one notices.

A lot of brown chickens/brown cows?
If you ever see me at the grocery store handling kale, guaranteed it's just to get my fingers wet to open a plastic bag for something else.
@ThunderousProphet
If I'm buying kale, I'm shopping for my parrot's food.

You can buy shaved wicker (which I'm pretty sure is what the wrap is) and apply it yourself. You do have to soak it, so it's flexible, and then dry it in place, so it keeps shape, and the wrap has to include a knot. That one you can probably figure out by closely inspecting the one that isn't loose.
