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.

I love the weird, overly annunciated voice people use when responding to automated customer service voice prompts. I just walked by a colleague's office (who is clearly trying to get into his bank account via phone) and heard him practically bellow:
"LOG IN"
(Ten seconds of silence)
"CHECK-KING ACCOUNT"
(Another ten seconds of silence)
"YES"
(silence)
"CUSS-TUH-MER SER-VICE"
First thought: Those are cool! I want a pair!
Second thought: I couldn't wear socks with those.
Third thought: No socks? [shudder]
Learn to play classical piano. I've always wanted to, but never done it because I don't think I could find a teacher/student setup that would be successful.
I like some types of Brooks running shoes, and Hoka, their Clifton series. I used to be a toe walker, but wore boots to train myself out of it. Some of the Brooks and Hoka shoes have thick padding under the complete sole, so they work for either.
I have a personality for Subject Matter Expert/Trainer. He's also very talkative, very confident, almost brash. I can feel the energy draining out, the whole time he's here.

It now looks like, per another brilliant report by ProPublica, that our dear Justice Clarence Thomas also participated in Koch Network donor events. Is there no end to his corruption and influence peddling? Donβt answer that, I know the answer.
MAGA IS TO BLAME FOR
A SHUTDOWN.
PERIOD.

My biggest tip for people who have published stuff online is to take a snapshot of it with the Wayback Machine.
You can do that by pasting this in front of the URL:
https://web.archive.org/save/
(takes a minute)
By doing this, you'll be able to access the snapshot even if (when) the site shuts down.
A Miss Steak just wants to feel pretty. Nothing wrong with that.
Everyone makes misssteaks.
When will Disney make the obvious sequel, The Giant Mermaid?
I am so excited to finally share my @TexasObserver feature on the #Drag Queens of Austin and how they're defying the threat of legal crackdown and persecution in the streets, from the magazine. I spent months putting this together and I am so proud of how it came out... https://www.texasobserver.org/austin-drag-queens-defy-ban/
In some places, that need to examine every detail can be a good thing. Along with our lifetime of experience of understanding things different to what those around us understand. Any time negotiations are required, we can be the leaders in carefully defining scope and terms, and getting everyone on the same page.

Teh Googlze say:
Fear of missing out (FoMO) is a unique term introduced in 2004 to describe a phenomenon observed on social networking sites. FoMO includes two processes; firstly, perception of missing out, followed up with a compulsive behavior to maintain these social connections.
I think the only time I'm really "in the moment" is when it's just me and the dogs and the parrot. In the backyard, the dogs sniffing everything, Scooter the Gray getting head scratches in my lap, and just enjoying the day and each other. I'm completely at peace in those times.

Are you an autistic adult who was identified later in life?

I've known people who are always calm and composed while something is going on and they fall apart later, when it's all over.
And it's funny you mention The Good Wife, because I'm just finishing the series up, in a re-watch marathon.
Everyone has sore spots, and unfortunately they're invisible until you come up against one.
