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.

Happy #BoxingDay to all those who celebrate it! Unfortunately in the states, it's not observed, but itβs one of the few things I knew about #Christmas while growing up in Hong Kong. So I always think about it. Hope everyone had a good Christmas weekend and an easy week ahead till New Year!

I blame Bell Curve distribution and clothing business profit models.
Seriously, George Santos claims he never said he was Jewish but rather that that he "was Jew-ish."
This is ludicrous and offensive -- and also the lamest attempt to get out of a lie that I think I've seen.
He must step down.
I promised that if folks helped get the Locus Magazine fundraiser to $75k, I would write a holiday story. You did, so I did - "End of the Year PR Missives From Scrooge and Marley" - and it's up at Whatever - with an extra added audio version!
Over at Whatever I've posted my annual "Best Of" collection of writing on my site. This year it's a grab bag of pieces about writing, politics and popular culture, along with a couple of reviews, a short story or two and, of course, a terrifying burrito.

27 December 1924 | A Polish Jew Jakub (Jack) Fogel was born in Turek.
In Auschwitz from 27 August 1943
No. 140964
Transferred to FΓΌrstengrube sub-camp.
In 1945 he was on a death march, ending up on one of the ships in the Lubeck Bay that were mistakenly bombed by the British RAF on 3 May 1945. More than 7,000 prisoners were killed. Jakub survived.
After the war he emigrated to Australia.
Today he turns 98.
Happy birthday.

One of the most influential rap songs of all time (Ether) contained a homophobic slur. The rapper (Nas) took a lot of criticism for this decades later. So he now performs the song without the slur, and re-released the track without it.ππΏ
Lizzo released a track with an ableist slur. She took heat for this on Twitter too. She apologized, and re-cut the song without the slur.ππΏ
Conversations about what a person said, are valid.
You don't get "cancelled" for mis-speaking. It's the doubling down.
Happy Holidays Mastodon! Glory to you, and your house! π

I will not entertain a single outrage from the fascist GOP about how much $ we are sending to Ukraine when they bailed out big biz with PPP loans as they laid off workers. We've sent 50ish billion to Ukraine. We bailed out big biz to the tune of $525 billion and they still screwed over workers. Dems should have talked about this. We failed to do so. I did on twitter but no one seemed to care.
Today is 10 months of my 3 day war. 100,000 dead. 0 victories.
Merry HIAMRS everyone
Another person concerned about βbirth rateβ is Vladimir Putin who uses Russiaβs declining population as a weapon in scapegoating minorities, Jews, and especially LGBTQ+ people in pursuit of his imperial goals β creating a unified βEurasiaβ under a theocratic dictatorship with Moscow as the βThird Rome.β

Putin is in his 70s, and reports are saying he's having health issues. I'm hopeful he won't be alive in 4 years.
Hello! I hope you all had a great time, wether you celebrated Christmas or not!
I actually couldn't get to excited, because soon I'll get my very first surgery. Oh my god. The feelings of mixed excitement and nervousness is kinda overwhelming :D
Anyway, have some more art!

The pursuit of knowledge is admitting that you do not know everything. You do not have to prove that you know it already. This is a very human characteristic. An open mind is better. I would never say to a Klingon that I know more about Klingon opera than they do. This would likely end up with them reaching for their bat'leth. Yes I may have seen their opera. Yes I might have read a book. But it is their culture and it is my responsibility to βlisten,β not try to prove what I know. π
