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.

Hi!
I could do the typical American thing here, and say "Oh, I know someone who lives in Edinburgh - Helen. Do you know her?"
New account, so I suppose I should do another of these #introductions posts!
I'm Fergus, an autistic science teacher living in Edinburgh. I'm also lots of other things, which I might sometimes feel like an impostor to draw attention to, but I suppose I will anyway. Depending on how you define/gatekeep each of these, I'm some kind of writer, community organiser, photographer/videographer, programmer, web developer, sculptor, giant-puppet-maker, podcaster...
I'm bi, lazily genderqueer, white and Green. Capitalism and kyriarchy are destroying our environment and our humanity, and I resent feeling the need to spend so much of my time fighting the effects of that.
I'm also @ferrous@weirder.earth but it was stressing me out that so many of my friends were on instances that are blocked wholesale over there, even though I get why they're blocked.
On Twitter I'm MxOolong (I haven't quite left yet) and my own site is oolong.co.uk - I've used variations on 'Oolong' online for about quarter of a century now, on account of my love for the tea, but I've started feeling a bit weird about it, and 'ferrous' pleases me. I do contain iron! It's true!
If you've read this far, say hi?
Here is a proper #introductionβ¦
Bonjour, Iβm AurΓ©lien!
I work as a #DataAnalyst in the #IT department at #Apple; I am currently located in Paris π«π· after having spent 4 years in Ireland
I enjoy building #Lego sets while listening to #ClassicalMusic; I also have a growing #AppleWatchBand #Collection βοΈ (I own more than 200)
I love a good #TVShow π₯ or #YouTube video, and enjoy #hiking and #skiing when I can; also a member of the #LGBTQ community π³οΈβπ
Iβm excited to connect with others on Masto ππ»
They need a mom to come in at that point.
"OK, and if everyone was jumping off a cliff would you do that, too? Just because everyone else is doing it doesn't mean you have to!"
Former CBS director, on the subject of sexual harassment and assault allegations against Les Moonves: "We all did that."

It's almost as if proper engineering can reduce earthquake damage.
GOP's big "Twitter hearings" backfired BIG time. Instead of proof Dems pressured Twitter we learned Trump as Pres DEMANDED Twitter remove Chrissy Teigen's tweet mocking him. Plus Twitter allowed Trump to spew hate+incite violence in violation of rules. My new MSNBC:

Good morning everyone... it feels a little like I'm grieving this morning, even though functionally there's no real difference in my home feed
(And with thanks to tech.lgbt for taking me in)
Yesterday's #BobCPoll showed that (even though it's winter!) less clothing is more common when sleeping: https://tech.lgbt/@bobcgames/109838273643536916

Kudos to the New York Public Library (#NYPL) for mining this vein of gold beneath our feet.

"NYPL has been reviewing the US #Copyright Officeβs officialβ¦records for [books] whose copyrights havenβt been renewedβ¦The books in question were published between 1923 & 1964, before changes to US copyright law removed the requirement for rights holders to renew their copyrightsβ¦Around 65 -75% of rights holders opted not to renew their copyrights."
The classic tawny frogmouth picture shows them looking right at the camera - and I always worry whether the photographer is disturbing them. These 2 did have a bit of a stare at me (after the ravens woke them up) but then were quite animated. Here they are watching a slowly flying insect - they followed it almost 270 degrees. I love the glow of their eyes and the play of light and shade in this. #birds #birdphotography #photography
A speck of good news today. Here's a real banger of an op-ed supporting trans rights by the incredible Jamelle Bouie https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/10/opinion/trump-desantis-transgender-rights.html?smid=tw-share

Or the myth of Sisyphus is about petty gods with the emotional maturity of a 3 year old on a sugar rush.
Black service members who served in wars, were often denied access to the GI Bill when they returned.
So white veterans could get loans for college, or to buy a house. Black veterans could not. This lack of access to affordable education and affordable housing had devastating impacts on Black veteran homelessness.
Black veterans were also denied access to medical care and benefits. This lack of access to healthcare also drove homelessness.
