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.

@StillIRise1963 @ScottSoCal hereβs an article about Latino truckers boycotting Florida https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/politics/2023/05/15/florida-trucker-boycott-floridas-strict-new-immigration-law-draws-response/70217625007/
Assuming I'm autistic - still on the fence about that, but leaning - the thing I've always felt set me apart at work is my ability to make connections between very different things. I resolved an issue with cracks in a crystalline substrate by putting it into the context of my hobby, woodworking. To me it's a logical progression, but to everyone else it's the wildest kind of leap.
Does anyone else here do that? Find a solution by extrapolating in unusual directions?

A guy I had a crush on - we were friends, but I couldn't acknowledge even to myself that I wanted more from him - scored low, and he basically gave up in school, and no one tried to salvage him. He wasn't dumb, but the teachers looked at that number and gave up on him. It still pisses me off when I think about it.

I was always told I "wasn't living up to my potential". School gave everyone an IQ test, and after that people were pigeon-holed according to the number they were assigned by a test they took once. My number happened to be high, but others were low.
What if they were tired? Stressed? Dealing with personal issues? Not interested in taking your stupid test?
Has anyone ever told my #ActuallyAutistic comrades that they werenβt βsmart enoughβ or βfocused enoughβ for school, college, or work? You arenβt alone.
That's my president!

Going to see Helena. The only way to get to her house is in a handbasket.
Where are we going, and why am I in this hand~basket?
@e_urq They are coming for everything that isnβt white male hetro Christian and when the rest of us are gone they will start sorting out the wrong type of Christians.

This is why trans rights are human rights and human rights are important to all of us.
Jack Dorsey is the one who did little-to-nothing about Nazis on Twitter 1.0, and whole-heartedly endorsed the sale to make it what it is today.
I should trust him - why, exactly?

Normal is overrated.
@TheAutisticTooter @actuallyautistic
I can say that, in my case, the answer is "sometimes".
Occasionally I'll get what I call a "flush rush" that moves from my head down to my gut, stops there, swirls around, then turns into a knot. Then it dissipates a few seconds later.
I know - I'm not normal.
You should also start each appointment 5 minutes late, and tell each of them "Sorry I'm late, I was dealing with a death certificate for an unvaccinated patient."
Most days I have from zero to two unvaccinated patients. Today I have four scheduled. They are all telehealth but I'm still half tempted to put on a mask, wash my hands, and perhaps clean my nose with Nozin and gargle with a CPC containing mouthwash. :)
