Imagine convincing yourself that children being taught about their rights, about the True History of the USA, and about not hating others for being different, is somehow a greater threat to their safety, well-being than being traumatized by active shooter drills every month, or being slaughtered by assault rifles while they sit in their classrooms. #RepublicanPriorities
That guy? He leaked dozens of Classified documents to his gun buddies on Discord?
Then we discovered he had released many documents, more documents, to a much larger Discord group, 600 people, aet another time.
Ok?
Now we find;
The FBI Found a Bazooka in Alleged Pentagon Leaker's Home
Jack Teixeiraβs attorneys argued he should be released to his fatherβs custody, but the DOJ says he's a flight risk.
Of course he has a bazooka, 2nd amendment right? Grenades for deer and fishing.

You'll get my bazooka when you pry it from...
Wait. I don't have a bazooka. Never mind. Carry on.
Twitter is dying, but my advocacy work helping trans people raise money via fundraisers depends on my five years of work I've spent writing on Twitter, so I need help.
If you're a trans person who needs help raising money for any reason, reply to this toot with your fundraiser. I'll reach out.
If you're a cis person and you can, please boost this post so your trans followers can see it.

"If I say or write something it's been meticulously crafted to express my exact meaning."
That's me.
"I'm more likely to tackle an issue to get resolution because Iβm unable to forget what was said."
Also that.
"I'm unable to recognize a person unless I actively examine their face for longer than it takes the average person."
And that.

"There are common traits the public associates with ASD:
lack of eye contact and social awkwardness
some autistic people either trained themselves or were forced to mask"
Yeah, that's me. I force eye contact, because I was told I came across as deceptive.
"lack of hunger and thirst triggers is a trait reported in autistic people"
I keep bottles of water in my office, to remind me to drink.

Quiet inlet of water, oil painting. I just returned from a visit with my dentist. Evidently the tooth pain I've been feeling is because I've been clenching my jaw. I guess the good news is I don't need a root canal, just better ways to relax. This painting is tranquility on a canvas for me.

re: Kansas, GOP Lawmakers, #TransGenocide
Reality doesn't fit neatly into their categories, but that won't stop them.
"On Feb. 6, 1897, Indiana's state representatives voted to declare 3.2 the legal value of pi."
Kansas, GOP Lawmakers, #TransGenocide
"Kansas legislators impose sweeping law that legally erases trans people"
The gist of it is extremely simple, and exceedingly far-reaching: They're legally declaring everyone to be whatever sex & therefore gender that was assigned at birth based on external anatomy, forever and in all circumstances.
"Many supporters in the Legislature acknowledged before it passed that they hadnβt considered how it will be administered."
It's on its way to the Governor and they have the votes to override a veto.

I think that would have been valid pre-2020. Leading up to the 2020 election, it became the Party of MAGA, and they drove out the ones who weren't paying fealty to their mango man-baby king. Look at what's happening all over the country, where the GQP has control - even Shasta County, in blue California. They're totally nucking futz.
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.
