Sat on the tram and this huge guy looked at me, wide-eyed, looked away, and then looked again -- like, he stared. It was intense. I started to get nervous: was he angry? Deranged? Hostile?
"Are you ok?" I asked
He jumped "Sorry," he said. "I was just trying to solve the equations on your jumper."
I laughed. We nodded, one nerd to another, and that was that.

Another fun mindfuck of the past 12 years is the self deluded, self loathing capacity for redpill / Gamergate/ incel types to simuktaneously perceive they are wicked edgy free thinkers all while being platformed to lick boots and pleasure the taints of Apartheidist Elon Musk, Neofascist Peter Thiel, and the like.

This song always helps me relax. Maybe it will help you?
I only learned recently that sitting on cakes was a thing that some people "enjoy". Like, really enjoy. I still don't know how I feel about that.
He's really let himself go.

@TonyStark Anybody who says that both parties are the same is an absolute jackass. Vote like your life depends on it, because they are trying to kill you.

I was told today I would βsell more booksβ if I wasnβt βweird in public.β The thing is, my workbook doesnβt have mass appeal because itβs specifically for people new to the indentification of their #AUDHD. In the AuDHD community Iβm normal. This workbook will never have mass appeal, because it is for specific people and thatβs is okayβI knew that when I started this project. #actuallyaudhd #actuallyautistic #actuallyadhd

Now you're trying to read subtext into what I'm saying. And you're doing it with what you already know is a small subset of all the data. I'm not sure how that's productive.
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.
