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.

Whichever twitter alt platform loves Alexis the most is the one I will want to spend the most time on
I like (EV) cars, I like having a car, but I'd also like to be able to use it just on weekends, for shopping trips and exploring. I'd love it if there was a fast, reliable, inexpensive way for me to commute back and forth to work every day, by train, subway, or bus. I could read on the way to and from work. Catch up on news. Watch videos. Whatever.
I sympathize, though. We moved to California in the 90s, to Santa Barbara, and bought a place there just before real estate went insane there. We only owned it 3 years, but sold it for twice what we'd paid (after a lot of DIY fixup). Sank that into the current house, and I couldn't afford to buy this place today. My mortgage payment is half what we'd pay in rent for a smaller place.
I'm gay, so leaving California isn't really an option. I'm just looking for fun. Anyway, I bought a house up in Ventura County about 20 years ago, and I'm pretty well settled.
I'm currently touring homes for sale in Bel Air and Beverly Hills. I wouldn't actually live either place, even if I could afford it. I don't even like to go as far as the 101/405 interchange, but it's fun to look at the houses.

One of my favorite things about @KevBot is how heโll loosely plan out or day and send the agenda to me in the form of a Yelp collection.

Heather Cox Richardson's Letters from an American newsletter is always worth reading but I want to flag today's on the efforts in Texas to target interstates and other transportation routes to prevent women from leaving Texas for (legal) abortions. Surreal, definitely unconstitutional, but also creates even more barriers and confusion. So reminiscent of proslavery political maneuvering. #history #abortion #histodons 1/ https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-1-2023

If there's any question about whether you're awake or just dreaming you're awake - DON'T USE THE TOILET!

Your non-violent, harmless autistic traits aren't bad because other people are "annoyed" by them or "don't care for them"
That's on them, not you.
They're part of you. Imagine if we fired people and insulted their moral character because they asked about the weather.
Try Lowe's - they make things easy.
Salesman: so the Camry trunk is about 15 cubic ft.
Me: Okay but how many bodies can I fit in there?
For decades, climate scientists have been talking about the best-case possibility, because they didn't want to seem alarmist and be dismissed out of hand. Turns out we're not getting the best-case. Imagine that.
โThereโs not a โweirdโ acceleration happeningโ in the Earthโs climate, said Noah Diffenbaugh, a scientist at Stanford University. โThereโs an expected acceleration happening.โ #ClimateChange https://mstdn.ca/@shawngoldwater/110996100603381847
I used to, but for the last few years I've been getting a variation on that. I have a rescue parrot, Scooter, who I'm guessing was bred in captivity because she's never learned to fly. Instead of me falling, I dream I'm at some very tall place and Scooter gets hit by a gust of wind, or startles and flaps, and she's falling. It happens a couple of times a week.
I'd guess it's tied up with my being very bothered that she's a bird who doesn't know how to fly.
While that may be useful for NT people, for many ND people, this is how we show empathy. We relate it to something we've experienced that also made us feel [happy/sad/grief/lonely/excited]. It isn't about "look at me", it's "I understand, and I feel for you".
