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.

A friend inspired me to share some of my personal poetry & short stories.
It's ironic, of course, that I share so much here with you all here and even more with those I work with, but I still have felt that this part of my life cannot be shared.
Here goes nothing....

My family name was made more Anglican when the greats moved from France to England, where the French weren't at all popular.

Someone needs to find his factory reset button and hit it.
Hard.
McConnell apparently has a firmware glitch

Ayn Rand is the 1Bth retelling of the classic story of someone who had bad things happen when they were children, and never got over it.
She's also reason 14,827 why I think Nietzsche is a drunken idiot.
Of course they don't - that would be silly. They have nowhere to hold their wallets.
Fun fact 4: "bat" spelled backwards is "tab", which among other things can refer to a personal line of credit held by a bar, restaurant, or other service provider. Bats do not have tabs because they do not have a money-based economy.
I wrote a mini-novel positioned 5 years after an alien species "conquered" Earth by providing replicators that gave everyone anything they want, for free, and automated medical equipment that cured any disease or injury, then they left. It brought about the complete collapse of society and governments. A new society was just beginning to form. Sort of.

@melivia @ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic I had a copy of the writer's guide for Voyager, and it's full of stuff that never makes it into the shows -- for one thing, it emphasizes that writers should avoid nerding out on the details.
One of the details that struck me is that most of the volume of Starfleet ships is empty, and can be filled in quickly with modular units as needed for a given mission.
I had to make a lot of assumptions while doing it. I assumed each of the sections is self-contained, and required a series of decks for power, air circulation, etc. Deck height of 4 meters, allowing piping, ductwork, infrastructure outside of living space. Same for "columns" between decks - Jeffries tubes - to allow access and maintenance. It still left a big chunk of real estate.
Untrue.
The reason we wonโt have clean drinking water, biodiversity in our wetlands isnโt the EPAโฆ
Is because of lavish yacht vacations and cheap-as-free real estate for our nationโs corrupt conservative Supreme Court

I definitely wouldn't be sad.
โNo Labelsโ has a label. And that label is โfront for electing more Republicans financed by wealthy Republicans.โ

This whole thing about nuclear trains reminds me of something I got caught up in a while ago. I'm a Trekkie, and I ran across a diagram of a starbase, with dimensions (based on size in relationship to ship, etc.). I started a spreadsheet, it got more and more complex.
Those things are HUGE. 2,000 acres of parkland. Hundreds of millions of square feet in deck space. Nominal population of over 2,000,000 people, and that's with low population density. I still have it, somewhere.
A big part of masking is often eating things you don't actually like in my experience. NT people can get really angry if you don't eat something they made, and often are aggressive if you split up food and only eat parts.
Eating is often a very sensitive topic, and for many people is often a very stressful time. If it isn't for you, please try to remember to always be careful and think about what you say.
On top of that, a lot of people love focusing on food when gathering together. Going out for coffee, a dinner-date, and the movies, are just a few examples. This may be excluding some people who get stressed in these types of situations, so it might be a good idea to keep other ideas/suggestions ready.
Adding "lol" to the end of your sentence is an ancient ritual to ward off existential dread lol
Welcome to #TransTuesday!
Iโve put this one off for actual years because I just didnโt feel able to discuss it. But now I do! Maybe? I dunno, letโs find out together as we talk FINDING OUR TRANS STYLE.
For trans people who transition as adults, figuring out our style can be a giant puzzle. It was certainly that way for me.

Singing is a big one for me, too. It relaxes me, and gets my mind off whatever is bothering me. But only when no one else is in the house.
Hi all! I don't know if I have any teacher friends on here (though if not maybe you know teachers!) but I'm trying to collect questions about AI (especially ethical/social implications) from kids and teenagers that I can answer. I have a feeling they will have very good questions that everyone can learn from. :) So help me out and share this with someone who might be talking to kids about this stuff? #ai #teachers https://forms.gle/61g8iSYswEZtZZGe9
