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.

โDonโt forget we are surrounded by prisons. We have fear and subservience in our DNA.โ
Though set in #Russia, Queendom, a #documentary that recently premiered at the #SXSW film festival, should leave American viewersโespecially #LGBTQIA+ viewersโshaken. #Culture correspondent Lance Morrison brings us this provocative new review: https://www.texasobserver.org/queendom-queer-oppression-moscow-gena/

Every time I talk about the stress and fear trans people in red states are living under a queer person from a blue state pops up to tell me it's just as bad in blue states. It hit me today while driving that they think I'm talking about the fear of being queer bashed. They don't realize red states are outlawing trans existence?
My own thoughts, unsupported by anything but my own experience:
Holy books - all of them - are the ultimate Rorschach test. You see in them what you want to see. The people pushing this want to have an authoritarian, petty, spiteful, vengeful god, and they have one - it's supported by what they choose to read in their book. It's not supported by the parts they choose to skip over, but that's OK, because they're not reading those parts.

Get your mail-in ballots in today, Wisconsin!
Republicans are angrier at the students protesting in Tennessee Capitol than with the shooter killing three children. Perfectly sums today's GOP.
I want everyone to know about my new verification system, where for only $5 a month, to can place an ๐ next to your name on ALL social media platforms.
Status report. I'm seeing more masks. It had gotten to pretty much zero except for the pharmacy workers but today surprised me. Not "a lot" by a longshot but still noticable.
My theory: People have gotten sick (#Covid or #ABC/Anything But Covid) so often that they're tired of it
OR
Friends are sharing with each other the #LongCovid symptoms they're feeling because they've been sick so many times.
I don't really care the reason why, but I hope the trend continues.

When I get home we go outside - for seconds, if it's raining, for up to half an hour if it nice, then I put Scooter on the floor while I fix dog dinners. Usually she explores and entertains herself, but now she goes straight to the downstairs powder room, which she's declared as prime nest spot. Woe to the dog that approaches that room.
I just got a splinter under my fingernail and understand why this is a form of torture.

I wear glasses, and Scooter loves nothing more than being able to grab them off my head.
I also wear an earring, but she leaves that alone - she just wants the glasses. If I take them off and get her near my face she (gently) bites the bridge of my nose, to let me know she's won.

Scooter is a rescue, and is blingual. On the way to her water bowl, she says "Scootie want some agua?" When she's finished drinking, she belches, then laughs.
And when I'm holding her, she throws herself forward or backward, so she can hang upside down from my hand, and wrestle with my free fingers.

Scooter hasn't been happy with winter this year. Too much rain, too much wind, too much cold. This is southern California, we made winter illegal here, back in the 1930s.
Two tornadoes caused damage in the LA basin, and a weak tornado damaged mobile homes in Ventura County (where I live).
I can handle earthquakes, but I reject tornadoes.
Frightening: Global warming is causing tornados in California. This alert was issued for Valley Center, CA. Hopefully it didn't touch down:

Rhonda should be mocked. Mercilessly.
Never thought Iโd ever see this many snowflakes in Florida.

Scooter says "hi!", from SoCal.
