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 roots survived, so they'll be back. We started with a single dwarf banana tree 20 years ago, and it turned into a small forest.
We're right on the coast in Ventura County, and our banana trees have given up the ghost. It got down to the mid-30s last night, and they're not having it.
Potential good news: if you ain't had none, and you ain't gonna get none, you're already a none.
Starting to think it might be too late to become a nun.
This argues that - because of the "perils of a public good in private hands" - not just discussion should move from twitter to mastodon, scholarly institutions should now also create instances in the fediverse that make publicly available: papers, data & code.

The white man, who got his trust fund money from owning an Emerald mine in Africa, would like to inform you that...
Did any Star Wars fans out there know Yoda has a last name?
It's Layheehoo.
The unfortunate result of a young bulb raised in a bad environment.
But that would be uncivil!
Perhaps it is time to leave atrocious chemical disasters in the lobbies and on the lawns of hedge fund managers.

Our two elderly dogs got to the point they needed a little extra boost for eating. We get rotisserie chicken and pull the meat off, and store it in baggies in the fridge/freezer. Mincing some fairly small bits up fine gets the flavor throughout the food, and they eat. Our vet warned us against too much chicken, since an excess of protein can cause kidney problems.
Accurate polling isn't possible because it's been made illegal to criticize the "special operation", but reporters say they esstimate support is somewhere between 60% and 70% support.
Garrett T. Morgan invented the first gas mask. He and a team of volunteers used his invention to rescue 32 workers trapped in a gas-filled tunnel 250 feet under Lake Erie. Garrett T. Morgan also invented Americaβs first traffic light. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackMastodon

Thanks for the recommendation - bought it.
Wow. Just finished reading The Terraformers, by @annaleen, and it's amazing. I can't properly describe the #book right now, so please take a look online or even in a real bookstore, depending on where do you live.
I don't usually mention the many great #SciFi and occasionally high #fantasy books I read. Perhaps I'm making an exception because it was only here on #Mastodon that I found out about the author and the book, *probably* via the great @marthawells.
The population of Russia largely supports the attack on Ukraine, they just don't want their own children sent off for it. My sympathy for Russians is now gone, and I'm just left with disgust and loathing.

Putin is aware of the discontent of the Russian people who have been affected by the war in Ukraine, so he is avoiding them out of fear. He is now in a state of panic, desperately trying to find a way to win back the support of the people. This is according to former head of the Moscow FSB Yevgeny Savostyanov.
"that phrase "it's okay to be white.""
The only time I've heard that is spoken by a white supremacist, lamenting that suddenly they're being called out for being racist, and they don't like it.
The problem isn't that they're white, it's that they're racist.
