This is so gross and scary. These people have been allowed to come out of the woodwork and they are now encouraged to carry guns.

Pauncho thinks I don't do housework right so he chips in to lick the cleaning spray off the fridge. I then have to rush to wipe it before he gets to it. It's now a smudgy mess.
Thanks #DogsOfMastodon
The Colorado School of Mines was temporarily closed and issued a shelter-in-place as police searched for a man with a gun. Sent in to apprehend the suspect, K9 Officer Graffit was shot and killed, giving his life in the line of duty.
RIP Good Boy.

This is a photo of a photo (one I keep in my office), so the quality isn't good, but this was my baby. A 1978 Mercedes 450SL in the original British Red, that I rebuilt and made beautiful again. And once it didn't need any more work, I was bored with it, so I sold it to a guy who was practically panting as I signed the title over to him.
TRYING TO FIND YOUR OLD TWITTER NETWORK?
After the great API shutoff, a lot of the services that people have been utilising to find their old Twitter networks no longer work.
Fedifinder is one of the few that is still up and running (I confirmed it myself this morning).
It isn't as seamless as some of the older methods, but can still be used in mere minutues to find users and easily follow them on Mastodon using the Import feature.
This video guide walks through the whole process from start to finish.
Please #Boost this to spread the word around your networks as much as possible.

I appreciate when the families have asked people not to watch, because they don't want them to be remembered that way.
I look for articles that describe who they were, in life.
Don't put your winter clothes away! A Sudden Stratospheric Warming event is brewing right now above the Arctic.

By disrupting the polar vortex and displacing cold air into parts of Europe and N. America, SSWs can influence our weather for weeks.
There are uncertainties about their factual impacts or the link to climate change.
Yet, it is fascinating that our prediction systems, based on models and meteorological data can forecast these complex extreme weather phenomena.

I asked a co-worker if a particular prejudice of mine is sexist / racist. She didn't have an answer.
When I look for a doctor, I look for women or minorities - or both, in one package. It's harder for them to be accepted into a medical program, harder to stay in, harder to get a residency, and harder to get hired. Only the best and most dedicated make it The average woman/minority doctor just about has to be better than the average cis-white-male doctor.
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.
