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.

A nice moment in my singing lesson today: with help and guidance, my voice did what I wanted, and then my coach and I both raised our arms in victory and went "yay!"
I've been given interoception homework for next lesson, although it wasn't called that.
Also I started crying twice, because of the *music*, man.
She mainly seems amused.
I just asked my pops to join me at punk show so he can make sure I get pulled out of the mosh pit.
Isnβt that what dads are for?
The Incredible and Daring Dove.
This white winged dove (Zenaida asiatica) is taking a stroll along this wing like it's a sidewalk. I'm not really astonished; they fly by the way.
"Originally a bird of desert thickets, the White-winged Dove has become a common sight in cities and towns across the southern U.S. When perched, this birdβs unspotted brown upperparts and neat white crescents along the wing distinguish it from the ubiquitous Mourning Dove. In flight, those subdued crescents become flashing white stripes worthy of the birdβs common name. Take a closer look and youβll see a remarkably colorful face, with bright-orange eyes and blue βeye shadow.β" - allaboutbirds.org

@ScottSoCal Thank you. I appreciate it. I picked up a magazine yesterday, hours after my cat passed away and one of the articles was "A Cat's Brain, How they Think Learn, and Communicate." Just knowing they love us like we love them, brings comfort.
It may not be intuitive - or even something you're interested in - but this is something I stumbled across shortly after a beloved pet died, and it helped.

Does anyone have an #BookRecommendations on grief due to #PetLoss?
uspol how to build a movement?
Does anyone have thoughts about how to build solidarity with Dems and talk about a more effective movement? That's always the advice I hear from both socialists and anarchists - we need to build a movement, we need to disrupt things, etc. I honestly have no clue how to do that. People get mad at me if I talk about how voting isn't working. Even when I agree to vote, there's no path towards talking about what to do after voting.
It feels like we're just so so far from this movement being real. We're so overwhelmed by just barely holding back the push from fascists that it feels impossible to take steps towards greater change.

re: uspol how to build a movement?
The problem as I see it is there's no mass will to disrupt. I'd participate in a mass strike - nationwide work shutdown for a day, to show we mean it.
Except we don't, because people won't do it. France does it. The US doesn't.

"Nobody in this room can logically sit here and say that the president of the United States had no idea that these companies were being formed while he was vice president of the United States," said Republican Representative Byron Reynolds."
So would that also apply to the billions Trump family members received from foreign interests? Asking for Jared, who is worried and doesn't want to wind up going to prison, like his daddy.

Please yell shit at neo-Nazis when they are in your town and have someone film it. It is on its face a good thing to do and it galvanizes your neighbors yell shit at neo-Nazis wherever they may occur.

@accretionist @Urban_Hermit @TonyStark @nus My governor is Gretchen Whitmer. I canβt take anyone seriously who doesnβt realize sheβs not spineless and so many other Democrats are also not. Roy Cooper of North Carolina, for another example, gave a very fiery statement on Saturday while vetoing the GOP anti-rights, anti-life, anti-abortion bill. MSNBC aired jt. I think it was during Capehart or Velshi because otherwise I wouldnβt see it. No other coverage.

Original description, translated from Ukrainian: "Trolling of the highest level: in Germany, supporters of Russia marched to clown music
In the German city of Hera, a group of far-right decided to take to the streets for a parade in support of Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Local residents reacted very gracefully, turning this move into a circus performance ."
The oligarchy will fight to maintain the current rules, but what they have going is unsustainable in even the short term. It will change, or it will all burn down (and change even more).
Capitalism isn't necessarily the problem, the lack of regulation and checks on capitalism is. Eventually we'll be able to have something better, but we aren't there yet.
