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.

KKKevin McCarthy isn't the leader of anything. He sacrificed the actual authority in order to get a title.
Empty G is the House leader, and the Mango Moron is the GQP leader.

It's been one year since the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in #Uvalde. The people of that town are still seeking justice.
From the archives: A town's tragedy awakens memories of a history of civil rights #activism in the southwest #Texas town in @gusbova's investigation.

The Googles say it's a Bank of Taiwan 10 Yuan note. Equivalent to $0.32 US.
@Npars01 @ScottSoCal @jwcph @MugsysRapSheet @SrRochardBunson @AbandonedAmerica Late-stage capitalism becomes like the last hour of a game of Monopoly, with one person cackling and collecting rents while everyone else screams in important fury until finally some hero (usually a young person) just overturns the board and scatters the pieces.
Or it's exactly as FDR said: it's not enough for everyone to get a Square (ie, fair) Deal, as his uncle Teddy wanted. At some point one person has all the good cards, and it's time to reshuffle the deck and have a New Deal to allow everyone to start from scratch.
That's what revolutions are.
"does he share Johnsonβs contempt for integrity"
Is he a Tory? The answer seems self-evident.

My dreams are usually surreal, but incredibly vivid while I'm having them, and they can definitely affect my emotional state when I wake up.
@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics I don't t know. -Coffee.
And If the brainfog doesn't disappear.... another coffee. Then I ask myself what the hell I dreamt last night.
Often, when I wake up in a weird mood, it was a weird dream, which caused that.
Happens that I dream very realistic stories. Then I have to bring order to that chaos. What's real and what is dream fiction.... - it's complicated. I need more coffee...
What is the relationship of my #ActuallyAutistic comrades and their favorite objects? What is it?
Mine is a beard trimmer that I bought in 2007 which finally gave way to its destiny yesterday. I realized that its life and journey often reflected my own.
I wrote about the experience and my thoughts on my blog.

The smart-ass living in my head wants me to reply:
"By plotting and achieving revenge"
But that would be rude.
How can #ActuallyAutistic people transform grief & pain to empowerment & fulfillment?
Of course they are. A terrorist is one who uses violence or the threat of violence to effect political change. They're US citizens. That makes them domestic terrorists.
White supremacist caught at the White House.
Assault with a dangerous weapon
Reckless operation of a motor vehicle
The threat to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm on a President, Vice President, or family
Many of you, even here, take issue when I call these people domestic terrorists
Missing the forest for the trees and getting upset over semantics
Let me make myself clear. White supremacists are domestic terrorists
If you see it otherwise then youβre part of the problem

More likely they'll have estates quietly crumbling into ruins
All over Europe & the UK, hikers come across abandoned castles and huge homes, built at great expense off the rents from feudal-era tenant farmers. Crumbling heaps
@AbandonedAmerica photographs similar edifices in America
These McMansions are kept up because they're a wasteful extravagance, even for them. A money pit
That's what's wrong with the hoarding of wealth, it stagnates
Happening right now: Ivan is in my lap, purring. Iβve been petting him greedily because I needed the physical connection. He looked up at me and I told him over and over again how much I love him β₯οΈ
Cool History: The Public Universal Friend
In 1776, after a rough illness, a 24-year-old in Rhode Island claimed to have died. They said they were then resurrected genderless. They abandoned their birth name and pronouns, becoming, the Public Universal Friend.
Becoming a Quaker preacher, The Public Universal Friend gathered a large following and was quite influential. They opposed slavery, empowered unmarried women, welcomed black people, and encouraged peace with the Iroquois. They even founded a settlement called The Gore.
There were numerous attempts to arrest the Friend for blasphemy, but they all failed. In one incident, the women of the house drove off the invading men, tearing their clothes, and in another, the Friend escaped skillfully on horseback.
Pretty rad, all in all.
