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.

people like to say "money can't buy happiness"
but 90% of my problems would instantly evaporate if i just didn't have to worry about cash all the goddamn time
if so much of the world wasn't gated behind fucking dollars
happiness can't be bought, but the prerequisites for it can -- food, shelter, warmth... stability, pretty much
it's a lot easier to find happiness when you're not consistently stressed out about finances
Colgate-Palmolive, which controls 40% of the toothpaste market, has increased prices 12% even as volume declined by 2%. As a result, the company's profits have soared.
Greed and market concentration are driving inflation, not workers demanding better wages and benefits.
"We just learned this one thing about X and it'll blow your mind."
No, no it won't.

I love that I can share science or history or even *soil* β¬οΈ on #Mastodon & every comment is thoughtful, polite & interesting.
Itβs a nice reminder that despite what I became accustomed to elsewhere, social media can still be interesting & fun. Long live the #fediverseπ /2
I was excited to find out they have heat pump water heaters. And they don't cost that much more than gas heaters, and they're much more efficient - and basically free to run if you combine them with solar panels.
So, yeah, I'm excited.
I wish the world could get as excited about heat pumps as they are when the fruit company has announcements about new stuff
May they be alarmed all the way back to the border, and stay there.
UKRAINE ATTACKS!!!
Say a prayer and send healing thoughts to the brave Ukrainian Freedom Fighters who today are moving against the Russian invaders!
More alarming every hour': Russians admit Ukraine gains. Is counteroffensive underway? Live updates

With a series of difficult choices, that means you could be 28.
I keep meaning to do some more of these. This Teddy Bear ballet dancer is a favorite I did last year.

No, but radical temperature changes can. That thing where you turn on the shower and stick your hand under the spray to tell when it's gotten to temperature? I hate that. I hate it a lot. I hate it so much that when I found out they make electronic shower controllers, I made it a priority to get one. I always know exactly what temperature the water is.
Can a loud sudden noise jar my #ActuallyAutistic comrades into an instant meltdown?
If so, you are not alone.
@clouddweller @actuallyautistic @disabilityjustice @Shadedlady @homelessjun @disability thatβs always fun. Another hack that I just discovered I use on social media. It never pays to argue with trolls because they do not care about facts. But all you have to do is demand receipts. Demand proof that what they say is true and watch EVERYONE ELSE pile on the troll. Saves so much sealioning arguments. Most of them canβt provide proof. Or (and this is fun) they post links that disprove their point. And if they manage to post something, Iβm usually able to discredit the source because of the nature of my work.
@PatternChaser @thecatwasnot @Pathfinder @Zumbador @actuallyautistic @axnxcamr The autistic ping is like nothing else. It's like zen. Sending warm energy to my fellow Masto autistics! #ActuallyAutistic
