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.

Brats have more girth.
Ok Iβll ask. Whatβs up with brat summer?
Does gen z love sausages that much?
If I'm nervous I interweave my fingers together - that pretty effectively stops them from twitching.
So many mainstream media folks seem disappointed today.
They thought Democrats would be in chaos, with a brokered convention.
Instead, we have instantly UNITED around Kamala Harris.
THAT is your story. Run it.
Maybe report the news rather than trying to manipulate it.
@ScottSoCal @therobburgessshow And our new word for them is "Didn't hire."
I'm realizing a communication accommodation can be the ability to edit your posts
Verbiage flies out of my mouth or from my fingers half-formed a lot of the time and I will edit stuff several times after to adequately convey my thought
In real life this just results in folks dismissing what I'm saying or endlessly debating or correcting me because I can't go back and edit what I verbally told them, because I was either missing critical details or misconveyed a point
(Case in point, I've edited this post 3 times so far)
Another step in my journey of eliminating sexism in my speech, and something I've done since she became VP.
But I'll happily call her MADAM President.
I am voting for Harris. I will do everything I'm able to do to get her elected.
Please don't shove "prosecutor is good, actually" down our throats. For my part, I'll hold off on the "cop" rhetoric.
She's accomplished and progressive on lots of stuff. Let's focus on that.
I'm hoping the timing was all on purpose.
I mean, it works, either way, but I'd love to believe it was deliberate.
This Atlantic piece actually highlights how Biden dropping out when he did is perfect timing. By doing so almost immediately after the RNC, in the middle of a long weekend (a move designed to screw over the pundit class), he murdered the GOPβs momentum overnight and left them stuck with a VP candidate who wonβt do anything outside of Trumpβs base. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/07/trump-campaign-biden-dropping-out/679183/
Their new n-word is "DEI hire". They apply it to everyone who isn't a cis white straight male.
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
at this rate the dems don't have to do anything.
just let the right have a racist misogynistic meltdown and take the win.

See? Trump is unifying. We all hate him and are joining together to stop him.
@DrSuzanne I'm not putting my beliefs aside one bit. Not even a little. Trump is worse on literally issue that matters to me. It's not hard.
My latest for @thenation Addiction and substance use shaped JD Vance's life, but he learned little and cared less about the issue and has devoted himself to a narrative of blame, while lifting himself up on the backs of the people of Appalachia. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/jd-vance-opioid-crisis-vice-president/
If anyone still wants "#birds not #politics" from me, let's be clear: the birds depend on the politics & your vote. Federal & state laws protect species, habitat, clean air & water & fund the managing agencies.
Trump's Project 2025, of course, wants to tear all this down - close all environmental & regulatory agencies, slaughter wildlife, terminate & sell off National Parks.
So if you want to still be birding in another four years, follow the #SierraClub's endorsement:

I did some searching but couldn't find the original source of this graphic but it's just too good not to share. My apologies for swiping this without credit.
Kamala Harris will not save democracy. We will, if we vote, help other people vote, and help our friends and neighbors understand what's at stake.
It's on all of us.
Democracy is about participation. Voting is only one element of that.
But the calculus right now is simple: If the extremists win, they intend to lead a fascist America. Don't lose sight of that.
