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.

Pro-Elon trolls are joining the #TwitterMigration so here's your regular reminder to block and report them immediately. If a server continuously fails to take action against abuse, block that server and demand your instance admin do the same.
Here, we're the content moderation. I've got major respect for the folks who built this place because, while the rest of us were complaining over on the #birdsite, they were successfully de-federating Gab.
Let's continue this proud #Fediverse tradition.
Well, Tim. You actually are not going to prison because of the orange stain. You are going to prison because of yourself; because of your own personal toxicity and bad decision making. You own it, babe.
@morethanmySLE Our money that the Republicans, under Reagan, started treating as their piggy bank, and all the talk about "ZOMG! Social security is broke!" is just their way of saying they don't want to pay back the IOUs.
Every day I wake up and want to REMIND you: Social Security is OUR money. Never forget this!
@blue_heathen They're trying it in California. They want to pay solar owners to install batteries that charge up with the extra power from the panels, then distribute it into the grid during peak non-solar (after sunset, before bedtime) hours. The solar owner gets a small cut, the power company gets a bigger cut.
@msbw The future began, for me, when I was walking around the backyard of my in-laws' house on a video chat with friends using a tablet connected to wifi.
Sounds boring, right? Nothing special about that, who hasn't done it? That's the future. Everyone being able to casually do things unthinkable 50 years ago.
Musings on growing up as an #AltBlackGirl
I listened to mostly rock and new wave music growing up. It drove me crazy when my family would make fun of my for listening to yt music. Like, you sent me to a school that I was 1/3 of the black student population, you let me watch way too much Mtv (this was back when they actually played music all day kids), & y'all don't play music at home. Fuck did you think was gonna happen?
White people didn't invent nor do they own rock music (Country music neither actually). Which is why my #sotd for #BlackFriday is brought to you by Bad Brains.
Time for a proper #Introduction! π π
As my name suggests, I am a fan of #ScienceFiction! I was raised on #StarTrek, but I love all kinds of #SciFi and #Fantasy!
I joined here earlier in the great #TwitterMigration, so I'm still rather #NewHere.
I've also been a member of a few fandom message boards over the years, particularly one called #ExIsle! (Ask me about it sometime. π)
I also have lots of other interests besides fandom, that I follow & boost!
Hashtags to follow soon! π
Why is anyone surprised when the same people who believe in talking snakes and Noahβs Ark believe in QAnon?
Magical thinking is a cancer.
It is important to know your rights.

Me three weeks ago: man, it's great so many tech folks are here, but it's gonna be a nightmare to get (non-tech) journos over here too, and they drive so much of the discussion value on Twitter
Today: lmao, well
Mastodon is going to be a little slow loading for a bit. Try to have some patience. For many that came before us, they were patient when we arrived over the last month or so. Let's do the same and respect that with massive upheaval for some, comes with inconvenience for others.
My Mastodon app feed is loading slowly. Why? Because thousands of others want what we have. This is a good thing βΊοΈ
Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.
Itβll be great to see GivennameFamilyname@mastodon.famousnewspaper.com or whatever domain they want to use.
Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.
Plus the βlocalβ feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together β providing extra discovery.
a disheveled girl stumbles out of the datacenter wearing nothing other than a loincloth fashioned out of cat5 cable, carrying a spear made out of a pipe and a shaved down SFP+ moduleβ¦ she just screams βkubernetes!β and scurries away, back into the data forest
she is⦠the feral software engineer

If you got suspended from birdchan today look on the bright side. You're here just in time for #BlackFriday on #BlackMastodon
Can confirm, twitter blocks links to berlin.social as well.
Public Service Warning
Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when when Musk pulled the employee purge.
It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.
We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.
@azedand2knots You could be an instigator.
Just walk into your nearest Hobby Lobby or Chick-Fil-A and yell "Happy Holidays!"
