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.

"In Georgia -- and other states controlled by Republicans -- protest is being turned into a criminal act."
It already was - it has been since Bush the Lesser. Rounding up protesters and forcing them into a corral 2 blocks away, and saying protesting anywhere but there will get you locked up is criminalizing protest.
In Georgia -- and other states controlled by Republicans -- protest is being turned into a criminal act. This is only the latest attack on democratic values and norms from a party that sees abuse of citizens, with impunity, as a key way of staying in power. https://theintercept.com/2023/01/27/cop-city-atlanta-forest/

And yet it's exactly what I've seen some people - including some on the left - try to do, because apparently skin color trumps everything, including systemic bias. Ignore the research and studies that say anything else.
Newscaster: Watch a person of African descent get murdered from the comfort of your breakfast table!

Don't worry, folks. We've FINALLY realized police officers should be held accountable for murdering Black people, so it's okay to watch this one."

My latest soft pastel artwork is titled 'Bluebird for Happiness and Lucky Clover' becuase it combines a beautiful Eastern bluebird with a four-leaf clover. One symbolizes happiness while the other is a symbol of luck.
See this artwork now in my online gallery at https://mm-anderson.pixels.com/featured/bluebird-for-happiness-and-lucky-clover-mm-anderson.html and soon on the other sites listed in my profile.

Extremists need to stop playing political games with the lives of working people and families.
Democrats stand with the people. Dismantling Medicare and Social Security will never be up for debate.
Itβs a shit show.
Everything and anything involving Trump is a shit show.
