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.

re: bad but non-fatal accident, hospital
Not a big thing like that, but lots of little things that, in hindsight, are "Oh, yeah, that's why..."
You'll often hear Black folk refer to this as "One way solidarity."
The ironic thing, is that is more marginalized groups took the issues of Black voters more seriously, we would already have made progress on these other issues. π€·πΏββοΈ
The path to solidarity is not in telling Black voters to suck it up but in prioritizing the issues that are most important to them. Because like I've said many times, racism is just fascism practiced on Black people first.
What I'm getting from this is that land sharks are real, and they're on the west coast of Canada.
Sea wolves are a unique breed of #wolf found in the Great Bear Rainforest along the Pacific Coast of #Canada. Swimming between islands like fish, they are genetically distinct from their inland cousins, or from wolves in any other part of the world. (ph and text Ian McAllister)

I've been trying to find the right way to articulate this-- but the folks on the right have it backwards about who is driven by "white guilt" --
This impulse to cover up and distort the history of slavery reeks of shame. It's, frankly, weird. Nobody has perfect ancestors, what sort of crisis of identity leads one to lie about the past.
It's just the things that happened. You learn about them you learn from them. You do better. Don't make it so emotional and personal.
Hi Fediverse! I have #CommisionsOpen for a very small, very niche, very FREE run of momento moris. I paint tiny memorials for people lost to Alzheimer's/dementia. Give me a small consumer good that reminds you of your loved one and I will paint it on a paper mache seed bomb full of forget-me-not seeds. Suitable for framing or planting, whatever feels right. I'm taking ten FREE submissions through EOY. Details/form here. http://www.kaseysmith.net/memory-seed-bombs #mastoart #artistsonmastodon #AlzheimersAwareness
@ScottSoCal weβve managed to get a good deal here in the UK. I donβt think people realise how much they have come down in price.
You can find some great deals on used EVs. Hubs' car was only 6 months old with 2500 miles on it, but I got it for $12K less than new. I'll be looking for the same kind of thing for mine, when I start shopping.
@ScottSoCal iβd love to be able to put solar on our roof, but weβre end of terrace and I fear we have very little roof space actually the right way. But for those that can, I think this is absolutely the way to go.
Friends don't let friends have sex with men that claim they are being discriminated against because they are white.
@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.
