I had a post written to your "I don't see color" post, but deleted it.
I think of that line the same way I think of people telling me "I don't see you as gay". It's insulting, because the unspoken following line is "I see you as normal" It diminishes who I am, and minimizes my experiences. Telling someone you don't see the trait that's been a significant factor in how they live is dismissive and condescending.
@zhivi
Thank you for posting.
I think it's important to know what the world looks like through other eyes, but it almost feels like eavesdropping, sometimes, so I tend to keep my thoughts to myself.
@zhivi
I did, although this is the only one I responded to, because it specifically invited comment.
Flower of the very showy California guava, growing at public access garden at STEM in Mission Bay, San Francisco 04.22. If you go to an event at Chase Center, a half block south on Terry Francois brings you to the staircase & a bit further south to the ramp up to their wonderful vegetable and fruit garden. A pure joy in the city. #JanuaryJoy, #flowers, #Bayarea, #GardeningMastodon
Sometimes it doesn't work out. Tried to do an E-girl Velma, with piercings and tattoos, but I couldn't make it work. So posting this one, to let it go and move on.
@ScottSoCal thanks. One of my fave meals ... and vegan too!
@bkm
Looks delicious.
@MKSinSA
Yes, I think so. I grew out of the pile-on / pack mentality.

There is one person I'd like to have been better to, in high school. No one was decent, and I wasn't worse than any of the rest, but I should have known better. I should have done better. I try to do better now.
I think we've all done things in our "youth" we wish we hadn't. I know in my early military career I did some spectacularly craptastic stuff I wouldn't mind taking back but don't carry guilt over them, I just vowed to do better.
One thing I still regret, despite being forgiven years later by the soldier involved, was my failure to stand up to the powers that be and be strong in the moment.
#BigQuestionOfTheDay: Do you feel guilt about something you did/didn't do or just live in the moment?
Next week I will be interviewing Universeodon Admin @supernovae on the God Pod and I couldnβt be more excited! If you have anything you want me to ask him, let Me know!

can someone explain to me how a grown-ass man was allowed to move into HIS DAUGHTER'S DORM? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jan/20/us-cult-leader-larry-ray-sarah-lawrence-college
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.
