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.

@ScottSoCal If we relied on her reviews, I think we'd be at 1.5 stars. "Food good quality, but portion sizes small, dessert especially. Staff not as attentive as they should be, and over-react to normal things like muddy feet and shedding."
This is how you sign "Mastodon" in Finnish sign language. Kudos to my deaf wife @mustikkasoppa β€οΈ #SignLanguage #FinnishSignLanguage #Viittomakieli
This dissatisfaction will be reflected in her Yelp review of the establishment.
She is supremely dissatisfied that third breakfast is not segueing neatly into dinner. It is not even noon. #DogsOfMastodon #husky
We installed solar on the house first, then replaced the hubs' car with an EV (he had the oldest hybrid, with the lowest fuel efficiency). Now we're running the house and charging the car with solar. Next year his car will be paid off, and we'll get me an EV. After that we're replacing (in no particular order) the gas cooktop, the gas water heater, the gas home heater. One step at a time.
For the past year Iβve been in a quandary about my petrol powered car. Iβve had it since 2 months before the kids were born and the repairs are getting more expensive.
We walk to the city (itβs only 15 minutes away!) but I drive to get to work which has moved to a business park out of the city.
Realistically with two 8 year olds and a job, I canβt live without a carβ¦much as I would like to.
So today Iβm buying a used electric car. Itβs the least worst thing I can do right nowβ¦
A rare photo of my entire family circa 2017. We look like Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. I love these people more than anyone else. β€οΈ
A reminder to my #ActuallyAutistic comrades that despite what people may tell you, YOU DONβT THINK THAT YOUβRE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION.
Youβve been conditioned to be blamed for your feelings and emotions from a very young age.
Youβve been conditioned to think everything is your fault.
This came from your parents, your teachers, classmates, ABA, therapists, doctors, friends, and society.
Now itβs being weaponised against you with comments like βnot everything is about youβ, after YEARS of THEM making everything about YOU
Itβs not on you. You donβt think youβre the center of attention. You just want to live. To feel. To be you.
Donβt let them keep you down.
The other day we were discussing how we respond when people ask how we're doing. This seems to fit in with that discussion.
By the war's end, approximately 900,000 Black Americans had served in various military branches and the Army Nurse Corps. Upon returning home, these Black WWII veterans were eligible for benefits like a free college education under the GI Bill of 1944, but pervasive discrimination hindered their access to these benefits.

The 4 stages of hubs being DIY butch around the house:
1) Start a project that he's never done before and doesn't know how to do.
2) Decide he needs a tool or part to complete the project.
3) Talk me into going to the store with him, so I can "help make sure he gets the right part/tool".
4) When we get back home, hand the part/tool to me, so I can get it done and put everything back together.
Guess who has clean dryer vents, all the way to the outside of the house?

"It's all the same forest," say Korean firefighters battling blazes in Northern Quebec"
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/wildfires-quebec-south-korea-firefighter-1.6921380
The Koreans are shocked to report they have found trees are burning "through the roots" because global warming, CO2 from Carbon fuels holds more heat, continents are drying out, forests becoming KINDLING.
Climate change is carbon fuel. End Carbon By BUILDING SUN AND WIND like tanks and ships for war.
That thing had to have been kept in someone's dresser drawer for a good long time, to last almost 70 years.

Today I learned that lottery vending machines will NOT take dollar bills from 1957! π Oops!!! π π€£
For me it's a trust thing - and I don't trust most people.
Naked = vulnerable, in my head.
is being extremely afraid of changing rooms or any other occasion where any kind of nudity happens a trans thing (incl in those whose egg has not cracked yet), or is it something about autism? i wanna know which of my "surprisingly definitive signs before i even knew" lists i should add it to.
they offered me sedation at the dentist's office but the thought of being half out of my head with this creature in the room?! thank you, no
