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.

I'm preparing a public talk & just popped my #Mastodon handle on the first slide.
It's a good look & I hope to see more of these logos at conferences & events.
Be like John Lewis - always an inspiration.
If I can't have all the cake, I'll spit on it, so no one can have cake.
CONCERNING: Some progressives are voting for a US default (shouldn't be used for pol purposes). Jayapal, AOC & Khanna: voting NO. Dems say they expect they will need to help provide numbers & are whipping key Reps by exchanging certain favors for their support: Japayal: internal whip count of the CPCโs 100 members found that โa majorityโ oppose the bill๐จ, adding that โit could beโ enough for the group to actively whip against it.

I was going through my photos to delete ones I donโt need, and came across this. I hate to share.
Some X, Y, and S mixed in.
@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics I donโt know about spoons, but I hate making calls, especially to strangers. And when talking to people I know thereโs a lot of pauses. If having to leave a message I end up tongue tied.
I'm sure he was just giving his friend pre-emptive CPR, in case he developed breathing or heart problems.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, after all.
The number of Teslas parked at the vacant building near my work keeps going up. They now fill the parking lot, and they're parking them on the lawn. A mix of brand new and used. I'm at a complete loss why they're doing this, unless it's to create artificial scarcity at the dealerships.
Let the Muskovite fan-bois get implanted.
The guy who can't keep a blogging site running would like to implant a chip in your brain and is looking for volunteers: https://www.reuters.com/science/elon-musks-neuralink-gets-us-fda-approval-human-clinical-study-brain-implants-2023-05-25/

Waking up from Mastadon hibernation. Is anyone there? Political junkie or not, interested in hearing from you, and meeting some Fediverse inhabitants.
Economics: Humans only value things monetarily.
Sociology: Uh, I don't ...
Economics: Humans are always rational and value is calculated by a complex inner calculus.
Sociology: Uh, Psy, can you help?
Psychology: That's not how humans ...
Economics: ALSO MY SYSTEM WILL GROW EXPONENTIALLY FOREVER!!
Physics: *drops teacup*
HRC's record with trans people has never been good - they were perfectly willing to throw them under the bus back in the 90s - this is just more of the same. And they were one of the groups screaming about Obergfell, saying it was too soon, and we needed to be patient and wait. Then they strutted around like they'd invented Obergfell when the ruling came down in our favor.
I'm not generally impressed by HRC and their commitment to *all* of us.
I don't know how or if I can report this, which means I don't know if I'll write about it "officially" but it's truly unsettling to me how little national orgs, particularly HRC but others as well, are doing in response to the slow motion roll back of all our rights and progress.
They should be making so much noise they're unavoidable. Constant op-eds placed, constant interviews, their websites re-tooled to highlight the current fights and their place in it.

Does this comrade know what dysregulation is?
No. No, he doesn't.
Are my #ActuallyAutistic comrades able to differentiate between anxiety, depression, and dysregulation?

I can only filter this through my own technical and legalistic understanding of "nonconforming", which is "an item that fails to meet [contractual] requirements". To be nonconforming, there have to be requirements, and I reject the basis of gender requirements. Nonconforming can't exist, without requirements to which something doesn't conform.
