I think of bears as my spirit animal. I rarely see them in the area I moved to a few years ago but I used to see them often on my hikes where I used to live.

Somethingβs been on my mind of late.
And itβs that the GOP is in a death spiral.
Since the shocking election result of 2016, weβve watched the GOP underperform repeatedly in elections, losing the House in 2018, the White House and the Senate in 2020, and then failing to retake the Senate in 2022 in a βred waveβ that never materialized.
One thing is clear to anyone looking at this objectively and dispassionately: Americans in the centerβthe independents and moderates who decide electionsβhave had enough of the extremists in the GOP.

If your experience of the Fediverse is that it's just like Twitter in how much antisemitism you experience, that's why I founded Babka and Babka Social, because that was my experience too.
Just having federation doesn't make it safe for Jews online.
Babka makes a deliberate and focused effort to address antisemitism. It takes continuous hard work and dedication by myself, my staff, and the incredible volunteers who make Babka operate.
Only two animal drawings left in this listing, pandas and poison dart frog, good little Father's Day gift ideas, if you are outside the UK, order as early as possible!

In a book: The Hail Mary Project, by Andy Weir. I loved it.
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.
