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.

How 'bout you stop? This place existed before you decided to grace us all with your presence, and it's managed to keep going without you controlling who is allowed and who isn't, and what is allowed and what isn't.
Put another way: you're not the boss of... well, anything here, really. Stop pretending you are.
One problem with leaving the birdsite is that I had built up a reasonable list of illustrators to follow there, and I really haven't here. But I bet they're around. If you're a #fantasy or #sciencefiction or #comedy #illustrator, especially if you're interested in commissions from an author, give this post a like so I can check out your work. Or recommend me someone in the comments. Or boost this so more people see it. Or just tell me what good hashtags I should be following.

You must have found the detailed instructions. Mine were all:
Head on down that way, until you see a place with a blue door. If you see the red door, you've gone too far. When you see the blue door, cross the street, and there should be a hydrant there. If there isn't, you've got the wrong blue door. But don't pass the place with the red door, cause that's too far.
Working on following instructions for migration to new account. Head west on the Oregon Trail. Follow the Missouri River until...

I hate white Supremacy just as much. We got years of death threats and vandalism when we moved into a formerly restricted "white" suburb in 1971. That was just for being brown, I can't begin to understand how bad it is for black people.
Anti-cult music therapy: A trans rights song
High school sound track: Section: Forbidden music. Subsection: Andrew's boom box collection. This song is called My First Christmas As a Woman. It's a punk track, and it may not even appeal to my trans friends. But, I'm putting it here anyway, because it survived the anti-cult library purge.

Amplify #Bidenomics, IRA: Rural Mingo Co, WV, is one of Americaβs poorest counties. ~1/3 of its residents live below the poverty line, only 1/3 of its pop. is employed & countless lives -upended by opioid addiction.

Stian Jensen, Director of the Private Office of the NATO Secretary General, stated Ukraine should cede territory to Putin in exchange for NATO membership. Giving a prize for genocide is absolutely a recipe for disaster. #FireJensen

To do that, he has to demonstrate to the court's satisfaction that attempting to overthrow the results of an election were somehow part of TFG's role as president.

Iβm still struggling with the #s as someone who owned a chevy geo in the 90s (50 mpg, struggled to go up hills Iβll admit π) A honda fit in the 00s (~50 mpg) & the prius c (Iβm a small car lover π) that just got totaled (also ~50 mpg). Feels like opportunties to truly improve mpg have existed in the last 30 years. Not dissing the better mileage some sedans & trucks are getting but β¦.Im also seriously depressed we dont have flying cars yet so I have lots of issues π€·πΌββοΈ
Funny story: we sold the hybrid he'd been driving to someone who had never driven a hybrid. He was floored that a mid-size sedan got 36mpg, and even more floored when I told him that when I'd driven it (more carefully than hubs) I was getting 42mpg. On regular unleaded, not premium.
He was coming from a really old F150 truck that got 13mpg.
I can tell you I was a VW sceptic until this one. I didn't buy it for me, I bought it for the hubs, and he loved the ID.4. I've really been impressed with it. The ride, the handling, it's a great car.
For me, I'm probably going to get a Polestar 2 - I prefer sedans - but if that doesn't happen, I'm getting my own ID.4

The builders have already sewn up the shield with metal, and now they are welding the plates of the shield and trident.

"the policy could put them on dodgy legal ground"
The cruelty is the point, with these people.
This is an area where you can make use of people's fear of BEVs.
I found a VW ID.4 that had been sold new 6 months earlier, and had less than 2,000 miles on the odometer, for $10,000 below MSRP sticker price. $22,000 less than the local VW dealer was selling them new.
Because it was so new, with so few miles, my credit union financed it at the new car interest rate, saving me 0.75% on the interest.
