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 had family come to visit for a week. I saved my own sanity and future relationship with all of them by retreating to my bedroom for peace and quiet. Said I wasn't feeling well and needed it.
#AuDHD Frustration
@actuallyautistic So many good things happening, but yet I'm feeling seriously overloaded and overwhelmed. My family is visiting: awesome as I maybe see them once a year. They're looking at helping us get someone to seriously work on cleaning up this place. Amazingly cool--it needs it. I'm taking on a new job in an area I care about deeply, and my schedule for that is filling up. Also great--language is one of my spins and we need the cash. But my #ActuallyAutistic brain is screaming for a break. It's frustrating as hell. I want to be present for all this, to be engaged, but I'm struggling to process it all. I'm praying I don't actually end up with students on Saturdays yet, because I would give anything for *ONE* day of just nothing right now, and at the rate things are going, that doesn't look likely...
They might want to turn down the pressure on the impact wrench, first.

Good dad. Lucky daughter.

Hereβs what parenting can look like.
When I told my dad I was trans, my dadβs response was, βOh! I can send you jewelry now!β (He was retired and made jewelry as a hobby).
Two days latter, I had a letter in the mail addressed to Joelle, the first time βJoelleβ ever got mail, with a necklace in it. Later he made me this one. He told me, βI hope I got the colors right, I looked it up online.β
You donβt have to mourn a child transitioning. You can be the first to do so many affirming things.

I started as a psych major (trying to figure people out) and switched to computer science. They made more sense, and followed logical rules.
On a list of money hoarding fascists, the Mercers must be included. There's a law.
These racist money hoarding fascists want to destroy America.

HOLY HELL. No political candidate has hit Trump this hard, ever.
This is how you win elections.

March for Our Lives, the youth-led advocacy organization committed to ending gun violence, has made its first-ever political endorsement and announced their support for Vice President Harris.
Men told the last woman running for president to smile more but theyβre saying the woman running for president now smiles too much. Maybe itβs never been about the smile
Wajahat Ali on the stark contrast between Biden's speech last evening and Trump's at the RNC:
"If there ever was an argument to end the dangerous 'both sides'' false equivalence, it was surely tonight. Just compare the speeches of both men. Put the transcripts side by side. Look at the words, the tone, the substance, and the messages of the speeches. Thereβs no 'both sides.'"

It saddens me that the future direction of this country is dependent on the narrow group of people who donβt see the clear choice we have.
On one side we truly have The Deplorables who want to send us back to the 1950s except with the richest 1% not paying 1950s taxes. Minorities losing rights. Women losing rights. Environment being destroyed. Destroy Social Security. Cold War. Christian values in the bad sense.
On the other side, we have people trying to have universal healthcare, multicultural society, science-based policy, democracy, equality. Social programs.
And it all hinges on people who canβt decide between these two because Biden was 3 years older, or Israel is an ally, or Kamala laughs or was a prosecutor once, or immigration is out of control even though itβs not actually any different than historical average.
