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.

In many ways, Star Trek was ahead of its time, like in this episode, where they warn about the dangers of Data mining
I'm lucky in that I was able to change at least a few things, by calling a meeting and starting out "We're in violation of contract because this new thing..."
People pay attention then, and they stop arguing.

I'm running into:
A task I've done a lot before, and I'm really good at it, but someone else changed things. What I used to do doesn't work anymore, and what I now have to do doesn't make sense. And there are parts of it I can't do - no access - so I have to rely on other people, and their ability to get it right.
I'm just about climbing the walls with frustration.
@FrightenedRat @estellechauvelin @johnettesnuggs @Tooden @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity
Maybe? I do. If something interests me, I want to know everything I can about it. Sometimes I drive people nuts with it.
Are all Autistics autodidacts? Is that just a thing we do?
You may find that what you're most upset about is just the top layer, and there's more under that. Whether there is or isn't, it's all right. Just take it one step at a time, and if you need to scream, vent, cry, or whatever, we're happy to be a sounding board.
I've seen that before, about the joint hypermobility, and until I read more, I had another Ah-ha! moment. joints are way more bendy than most people's - even young people, and I'm *not* young.
But they're not degenerating, don't give me pain, they just have a really big range of motion.
re: About deadnaming
I see a lot of people - people who know better - doing that with Caitlyn Jenner. Yes, she's a waste of potentially useful human tissue, and a waste of oxygen other people might be able to put to better use. She's still Caitlyn.
About deadnaming
Jaysus lads, I know some trans people are well known in public but please don't share their deadnames (especially not if you want to complain about the sharing of deadnames)
It feels like a punch to the stomach if you see your own deadname and ruins your day. Celebrities aren't immune.
Also don't share it even if the trans person is in your eyes a shitty person. You communicate at the same time to other trans people that you don't take them serious
Breaking news: Brazil makes homophobia punishable by prison ποΈ
In an almost unanimous vote, the Brazilian High Court has ruled today that homophobia can now be punishable with a prison sentence
This is a huge win for the LGBTQ+ community in Brazil that needs to be celebrated π§π·
The 9-1 vote ruled that homophobic slurs and hate speech are a crime, similar to other forms of hate speech, such as racism.
"If gawd wanted me to mask up, I'd'a been born with a mask on," says local man, while wearing prescription glasses.
Non-vaccine measures such as social distancing and wearing face masks have been "unequivocally effective" at preventing the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, according to a major report by the UK's Royal Society https://www.newscientist.com/article/2388929-lockdowns-and-face-masks-really-did-help-to-control-covid-19/
My level of frustration with the need to report the Republican debate β because itβs a legitimate political party in the United States despite the fact that its platform is a gobbledygook of flat-earthing anti-vaxxing anti-science racist misogynist not-even-up-to-the-comedic-stylings-of-the-Church-of-the-Flying-Spaghetti-Monster ramblefuckery β is large
#ThrowbackThursday
Some years back, woke up to my pooch snuggled with IT. Knew my momma cat had captured IT. "IT" was the body of a poor, departed squirrel -- my Godfather "horse head in the bed" moment.
I got the message. Food was served pronto, well, after disposal.

Even when heat records are being broken all over the northern hemisphere, the classics are always appropriate.
