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.

It's beginning to dawn on folks that abortion rights were just the first human rights to go under right-wing control of our top political offices, especially the courts.
Gay rights are in the Republican extremists' crosshairs. So is birth control. So is freedom of expression, and so much more.
The right wing never bought into civil rights in the first place.

Maybe Big Journalism will notice this with more than passing interest, but they'd have to wake up first.
Back in NYC i got some temporary body art known as henna. It lasted for a couple of weeks.
Don't think i'm up to having tattoos, but this - this i like.

It is important to note that, according to Russian law, the list of such places should have been approved long ago, but the information is being requested to be clarified because of a new "letter from the Russian Ministry of Culture."
Museum administrations have been given until 1 July this year to respond.
Another point in the letter states that at least some of the cultural and historical monuments will be taken outside the peninsula.
The letter was not published by the National Resistance Center, even though they have it, due to "sensitive information."
The Russians are trying to speed up the process of typification and evaluation of museum artefacts in Crimea. Museum workers are creating electronic registers of works of art and historical monuments and transferring information to the Russian electronic museum fund.
The letter was signed by Andrei Rostenko, the so-called deputy minister of culture of Crimea. He is the former head of the occupation administration of the city of Yalta in Crimea. Earlier, there was information about the start of the evacuation of military families from Crimea.
Recently, Ukrainian military said it has destroyed three Russian surface-to-air missile systems in Russian-occupied Crimea. Analysts believe it's only a matter of time before Kyiv might attack another vital target in Crimea: the bridge linking the occupied peninsula to the Russian mainland.

iโm sorry but vampire babies are just too fucking adorable
Very foggy morning in #Monterey #California #CaWx
Today will be a good day for the tourist sweatshirt vendors in town.
Also foggy south of there, in Ventura County. But it's just June Gloom, and it's already burning off. My solar panels will be generating in no time.
I did a technical training at my work for about 20 years, and I'm currently mentoring a new-hire in my department.
ASK QUESTIONS!
At the beginning of my training sessions I told people to interrupt me and ask - questions are welcome, even encouraged. The mentee I'm telling to go into the labs, watch what they're doing, and ask questions. I told him to ask me questions. That's how you learn. That's how I learned.
On the way home from the vet's office, hubs said he wasn't ready right now, but he new he would want to look at another dog in the future.
I will, too.
In memory of my Little Man.
2008-2024.
My animals are my support system - they provide 100% unconditional love. I've had the same two dogs for 16 years.
In April Little Miss' kidney disease got to the point I had to make the compassionate choice for her. And today I did the same for Little Man. My heart is breaking, and I don't know how to handle it.
In related news, I need to get a bite guard before I grind my teeth down into stumps, so I got a 3-D scan of my teeth and the lady doing the scan told me I have nice teeth and I said "Thanks! Your coworker just cleaned them!" because Iโm an absolute weirdo so now I can never go back.
Planning on attending another nearby #pride2024 celebration tomorrow afternoon. It's about an hour's drive each way, and runs from noon until 10pm. I'm hopeful that I will have the requisite #spoons in order to go the day.
Last time, the crowds didn't overwhelm me, which I was pleased by. I assume that had a lot to to do with being around my tribe.

My life runs on "systems". Saturday is laundry day, the washer takes 50 minutes for a load (sets timer on watch). When the timer goes off I put the washer clothes into the dryer, which takes 70 minutes to dry, put the second load into the washer (sets timer on watch)...
Repeat until the laundry is done, and I put it all away.
Online lets you walk away and come back to it, later, when you've got a different perspective. Online lets you edit and rewrite until what you're putting out is exactly what you mean.
Real life can't be edited, and there's no pause button.
Clothes can't be put away until they're folded/hung properly. Kitchen towels have been an ongoing battle for years - eh, not really a battle, more of a cold war. When I wash kitchen towels I fold them properly and they all fit in the drawer next to the sink - if there are towels in the drawer that hubs folded I take them out and refold them, so everything fits. He folds them wrong, and they don't all fit.
@actuallyautistic #actuallyautistic Does it bother anyone else when someone folds your laundry for you? I do appreciate the effort and the intention, but half the time I have to go back and refold everything because it wasnโt folded the way I need it to be for me to put it away or organize it properly. I would rather just do all the folding myself lol. Idk, I know that probably seems selfish but it does irk me sometimes.
Within the last 12 months I heard someone use that tired old sexist line about a woman (a co-worker) should smile more, to get along in the workplace.
She's a PhD mechanical engineer, she doesn't have to smile if she doesn't want to.
