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.

People in the US pay significantly more per capita for healthcare, with worse results.
We don't have a healthcare system, we have a medical profits system.
Dystopian. Americans are forced to spend $4,000 more per person on health expenditures than those in any other comparable, wealthy nation.
Healthcare is a right, not a privilege.

A different perspective for those folks who are having trouble seeing women's point of view.
I'm resurrecting an old special interest and making it new. As a child I wanted to put together models, but I'd get impatient and want to skip to the end. That doesn't work. In my adult life I've developed a love of process - creating a list and checking things off one at a time. I've checked off nearly all the things to prep, and in my time off during the holidays I'm going to begin putting together a model. My first as an adult.
@ScottSoCal @alexisbushnell @haui @hellomiakoda @actuallyautistic hoo boy covid mask and autistic masking in the same convo got my gears spinning. π
@FrightenedRat @alexisbushnell @hellomiakoda @HaelusNovak @ScottSoCal @haui @actuallyautistic For me, the big struggle was figuring out how to make the mask not fog up my glasses. I had a couple of incidents where I was in public, and my glasses fogged, and put down my items in a weird place and left so I could take my mask off as soon as possible.
For him, it was the communication anxiety and poor audio decoding. He also had a lot of anxiety around not being able to see people's facial expressions fully because he was struggling more to pick up on how other people might be feeling.
I've never stopped masking. I found I actually like it, despite the questions and looks I get when I go into a public place wearing a facemask.

@ScottSoCal after going done the rabbit hole ok this, it appears life on earth will end long before this occurs. Some .5 to 1.5 billion years from now.
Have you run out of things to worry about? Let me help:
People at the equator are spinning around the planet at 1,037 mph.
The planet is spinning around the sun at 67,000 mph.
The solar system is spinning around the galaxy at 514,000 mph.
The whole galaxy is careening toward a collision with Andromeda at 300,000 mph.
I don't see this ending well.
Do you live in a state with a Republican secretary of state? Make sure you're still registered to vote. They've been purging the system.
Another thing that took me a while to have sink in is that it applies to populations, not individuals. The population that succeeds, and reproduces, and fits best into an ecologic niche is the one that survives.

re: extremely mild Oppenheimer spoilers, personal sexuality thoughts
Yeah, that was me watching "What's Up Doc?" back in the day.
Whoever made this was thinking of me when they made it. I know they were.
I don't know what any of that means, so I won't yell at you.
Despite tinnitus, sound and music are very important to me. Music has always been a thing that reaches me.
I understand the simile, but I think of it as battery power, personally. So much power coming in to charge, and everything that I have to deal with uses up some of it. When my batteries run down, the system crashes, and I have to take everything offline to recharge.
The musical we're watching is The Greatest Showman. The actor playing Jenny Lynn isn't the one who sings. And, again, it's all done well - it looks like she's singing. It just doesn't sound like it, because the singing voice couldn't happen from her speaking voice.
No, it's not an issue when the actor is lip-syncing to their own singing - their speaking voice matches their singing voice, and this is completely an audio thing. It's when the actor's speaking voice couldn't possibly be the one singing that it bothers me.
