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.

βAmerica must stand up for what is rightβ, says @potus Joe Biden, as he addresses the world after signing the military aid to Ukraine, and a 1 billion dollar humanitarian aid package for the civilians in Gaza.
And yet, despite the loss in profit and market share, despite his erratic behavior, despite his general fascism, he's being rewarded today with a bounce in stock price.
The lessons learned from vile Elon's fall from esteem, are not financial, but the financial lesson is astounding.

Evidence of tail wagging and sniffing during our walk #DogsOfMastodon
I go for a long, fast walk. Something that makes my breath faster and sweat break out. While I'm walking (no earbuds, music, anything else) my mind cranks through whatever is bothering me; replaying it, amending it, inserting what I wish I'd said, until I'm calmed down.
Growing up, Sesame Street taught me the importance of education, empathy, and kindness.
Bugs Bunny, on the other hand, taught me that revenge on my enemies should be quick, clever, and brutal.
Generally, but he's an inclusive author. The one I'm reading now has many characters, most of them aren't identified specifically by gender until you're well into their development, and two of them are identified as they/them.
New to Scalzi? If you're a Trekkie, read "Redshirts". It's a send-up that had me rolling on the floor. Right now I'm reading "Kaiju Preservation Society", also very funny. The "Old Man's War" series is what he's probably best known for - 6 books - but I'd hold that off for later. Fuzzy Nation is also good.
President Zelensky held a meeting with the Minister of Enterprise of Denmark, Morten Bedskow.
"Thank you to the government and people of Denmark for supporting Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion.
We discussed the defense of Ukraine against Russian terror. We count on Denmark's help in finding additional air defense systems for the Mykolaiv region."

Uncharacteristically high quality post:
Happy 10 years to this gorgeous girl. Thank you for spending the best decade of my life with me.
A couple of weeks ago, in another place where I generally feel safe, someone made a scathing comment - not to me, or even about me - about "self-diagnosed autistics". Without a signed certificate, apparently we aren't worthy of the label.
I've been stewing about it ever since, and sometimes doubting myself. This morning I'm peeved. Who the hell is that person to make declarations about other people - including me?
My previous actually autistic posts gave me some excellent answers and furthered my processing a lot. Thanks to everyone involved! π
I self-diagnosed very late. Some big reasons have been a) not having certain stereotypical qualities such as aversion of eye contact, and b) scoring between NT and autistic in many online tests. Interestingly, the realization that I'm autistic wasn't that big identity-wise. I've understood I have certain qualities ages ago. Instead of a change in my identity, it's been a big relief to understand why I'm this and that.
There's still lots to process though. I'm only now coming to grips with how my memory works, for instance.
Ordered two books on autism, Neurotribes and the Devon Price book. Really looking forward to reading those.
Doggy style means you get a treat afterwards, right?

re: politics--what replaces the republican party?
When it wasn't shorthand for "I don't like antidiscrimination laws."
Burst out laughing when I saw this guy peering down at me like this as I was watering my plants
Republicans passed many gun control laws during the days of the Black Panthers.
I remember reading an article written by someone who had an autistic child and their child loved Guardians of the Galaxy because of the character Drax, who mimicked closely the way this child's autism presented.
