The House is back in session this week.
Iβm ready to work with my colleagues in Washington for the people of #OH11 and everyday Americans across the country.

"When you're a star, they let you do it."
Not today, sparky.
E. Jean Carroll was brave enough to face a system that victim shames, and a former president who used his platform for further attacks. Trump wasn't even brave enough to testify. Over $5 million awarded to #EJeanCarrol.
My parrot is teaching me to speak African Gray.
For example: ringing the bell like Quasimodo on crack means "Bring me something - you guess what, but if you guess wrong I'll throw it in your face."
She's an excellent teacher.
I wish I were feeling this upbeat about the temperature. I'm #HotHotHot for all the wrong reasons. LOL

There's a perfectly good label for Musk's politics - "incoherent".
Whatever bright, shiny idea appeals to him at the moment is the new Thing. A bit of right-wing batshittery, a bit of eco-capitalism, and a whole heap of 'Murka-style libertarianism.
There's still a weird urge among some journalists to pretend Elon Musk's politics can't be captured by normal labels.

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.
