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.

The straw thing irritated me. Still irritates me.
I'm prepped, I'm ready. I have my re-usable stainless steel straws in my pack, and I keep my canvas grocery bags in my car. But now when I order a drink, they don't ask, they just bring me a plastic straw. Usually unwrapped and already in my glass.
Why don't they at least ask?
The world is so freaking complex and wonderful.
Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.
This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable β and used.
If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kindaβ¦ nice?" β that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".
So #KeepFediWeird.
We're a few days into the current wave of #TwitterMigration, and we're all excited for all the #NewHere folks to have joined.
But please be mindful you are joining a social network that was not a barren, desolate desert before. It was a blooming, cozy garden.
It's not just about finding your old connections from 
, it's also about making new valuable connections with folks on here, who might have moved years ago, or who might have never had an account on hellbird.

Friends, I have been given some contact information for members of the Harris for President digital and social communications teams and I have started reaching out to them about our #MastodonforHarris fundraiser, https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris. If you have been considering a contribution, today would be a great day to show a lot of activity!
My work nemesis announced he is leaving to another job next week on slack and I replied with a cheesy positive best of luck message to mess with his head.
Within the last 24 hours a telecom tower has been toppled in Finland, a fire has broken out at the BASF chemical plant in Ludwigshafen, Germany, a fire has occurred on the German rail line between Bremen and Hamburg, and fiber optics cables have been sabotaged in 6 locations in France.
Who do you think is responsible? Putin any name you think in the replies.
Those old educational films could be entertaining.

I hope in 2024 we can stop caring what right wing attention freaks say about things. Oh, some guy hated the olympic ceremonies? Who fucking cares? It was beautiful, surprising, and joyful.
I'm done opening news apps and seeing stories about "the backlash" to popular things when you dig down and find out it's one weird christian complaining on instagram. That's not a real backlash!
Stop caring what random jerks think. Stop broadcasting their bad faith readings of everything.
4 Advil tablets, and a brisk walk for about 2 miles, sometimes more. Getting my pulse up and blood circulating faster seems to help. I walk until the aura goes away.
My doctor asked if I wanted a prescription pain med for them, but Advil works for me if I take it in time (during the aura, before the pain starts), so I stick with it.
I've gotten migraines all my life, starting when I was about 10 years old.
When the aura kicks in, I have a small time window to head it off, otherwise I'm curled up in a dark room for several hours, wishing I could die. Anything to make it stop.
Gen X hereβ¦
Iβve voted Blue my whole life, & Iβm voting for Kamala Harris in November.
Iβm doing everything I can to help elect the first woman president in American history.
It should have been Hilary in 2016, but better late than never.
Itβs about damn time!

CA is going the other way. Within the next few years I expect to be paying more for my car registration tax, because I drive an EV.
I get the people complaining about it, and saying it'll be a disincentive to go electric, but I'm driving on the public roads with a 3 ton vehicle, adding to that wear and tear, and I'm contributing nothing in the way of maintenance because that's paid for by the gas tax. That I don't pay.
Not really a fair deal.
