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.

no-one: whatcha doing?
me: oh, you-know, just comparing generic drugs my insurance company is forcing me to choose between instead of the non-generic drug my dr prescribed. they're not the same thing at all, but they're approved for #ADHD too and much cheaper, and saving the insurance company money is what's really important here.

A guess, from a cross-correlation in my life. I have a food sensitivity, to a fairly common ingredient in US foods. Sometimes when I try to explain why I can't go eat the treat they brought in, they jump to the conclusion that it's gluten, and give me The Look.
"Oh, you poor, sad thing - you've bought into that whole gluten fad, haven't you?"
Some think autism is a fad.
Woke up this morning to find a crew working on the trees around our apartment complex. Thereβs a ton of loud machinery (saws, wood chipper, etc.) and I didnβt know this was scheduled for today. Itβs been going on for hours. In the past, I would have been very hard on myself for not being able to tolerate the noise better. Now, I understand that my noise sensitivity is just a part of me, and I am taking steps to accommodate myself rather than berate myself. Itβs a small but profound shift. #ActuallyAutistic #LateDiagnosed
Because of the number of people cursing him, the inventor of autocorrect will spend eternity in a ducking awful circle of hill.
Memories of the guy who explained (after Prop 8 passed) that he *had* been an ally, but the protests closed down streets, tied up traffic, and made his drive home unpleasant. He just couldn't support us after that.
I didn't consider it a huge loss.
Repeat after me:
Being an ally entitles you to exactly nothing.
It does not give you access to our bodies or the spaces those bodies inhabit. It does not give you a say in how we choose to protest or resist our oppression. It does not give you the right to police our actions, our customs, or our language.
If your allyship is conditional on any form of preferential treatment, it's not allyship.
A little fun on my lunch break. Whattya think? I wish I could have added some orange into the jersey crest.

Let me guess - his defense was "I didn't do nothing - I was just hanging around!"

This is Charlie.
He has been suffering from a variety of health problems for a few months now, and this morning it seemed clear to me that he's in pain and not going to get better. In a couple of hours we're going to the vet for humane euthanasia. I want to write down a few of my memories from our life together.

I recently discovered the Deutsche Welle (DW) channel on YouTube, and subscribed to it. They provide world news on a more even-handed basis, with good analysis, and without the endless pumping of drama.
This morning I saw a report saying she'd co-authored some pieces for Tucker Carlson. I can't verify, but if she has, I'd guess she jumped at the opportunity.
I didnβt not watch the bullsh!t #CNN giving trump a televised rally filled with only his supporters and allowing him to lie for a solid hourβ¦ but Iβve seen some clips.
For anyone whoβs seen more of this shitshow than I did, I get the impression #KaitlinCollins was A) thrown to the wolves with this assignment and B) in way over her head and C) very likely was told not to push back much.
Anyone else have a take on it?
Oh, and I will say again: Iβm done with CNN for good.
No one approaches me to ask if they can help me.
If I do need an answer, someone is available, answers my question, but does not engage in banter.
The cashier does not ask if I found everything I was looking for (if I hadn't would I be in the checkout line?) just rings me up, tells me the total, takes my money, and I leave.
What does a neuro-affirming shopping experience look like to you?
My dentist has commented that the inside of my cheeks is basically a mosaic of overlapping scars, from me biting them.
