I work remote, so I spend most of my workdays in pajamas because most of our zoom meetings are just audio, but every so often I will put on a nice outfit and do my hair and makeup even if itβs not a video meeting just because I want to be the only person to turn on their camera looking totes business profesh so it will then make all of my coworkers panic and scramble to make themselves look presentable before turning on their own cameras.

Get him a model kit of something that interests him, and give it to him with a card that says "Some assembly required".
Happy Birthday, Penny!
Today, this princess turned 5 years old. We rescued her when she was 8 months old and she has been an amazing addition to our family.

Today the House GOP will "celebrate" #Blackhistorymonth by removing Rep Ilhan Omar from House Foreign Affairs committee. She is the only Black woman on the committee--plus she's Muslim + an immigrant. This is what white supremacy looks like.

#BlackHistory is the history they didn't teach or glossed over in my school. I've had to learn it on my own.
@anirvan What fascists really hope immigrant communities will never understand is that the immigrant experience is made possible by the blood of Black people.
Naturalization classes and documents that are in languages that aren't English? A protection afforded by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This is why we don't have an official language. You're welcome, cousins.
#BlackHistory is your history, too.
I just realised I forgot to do my #introduction here! I'm a long time #ActivityPub user with @nextcloud, but only started playing with #PixelFed and #Mastodon last year, when I decided to begin deactivating, and stop consuming ALL corporate social media, and as much from #BigTech as possible. All power to the people!
I'm also a #musician - #drums, #guitar, #bass, #tenorSax. I've played in dozens of bands over the last 25 years but am now retired as "a grumpy #soundtech, but I ain't grumpy!

Wait till you see what tomorrow has planned.
@ScottSoCal @therobburgessshow time travels always braggingβ¦
@ScottSoCal THAT DOG. If someone canβt be trusted with a DOG, they sure as shit shouldnβt be involved with running the US government.
Appointed by who? Governors? Who do you think DeSantis would appoint?

If you're neutral in the struggle against fascism, you support fascism.
Elon Musk isn't a genius, he's a statistical inevitability.
Lots and lots of rich people inherit wealth and use it to make "big-bet" investments in things, funneling wealth into their hobbies or interests.
Rich people can afford to do that because if these bets fail, they'll be fine. It's easy to hit in roulette when you get to play multiple times, less so when it's your life savings at stake.
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.
