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.

The following film has "adult situations"? So, they're gonna, like, get acid reflux and try to set up direct deposit?
I'm named after an astronaut. When I gave the attendant at Kennedy Space Center my credit card to pay my entry fee, she made a squee noise. Both the first time someone recognized my name for what it is, and the first time I've heard someone squee.
The Kennedy Space Center was a really great visit. And, the play zone there serves Elysian"s Space Dust. I like that beer. I'll share a pic later. Photo won't upload.
Thank you to the 81M voters who elected Joe Biden president in 2020. Itβs hard to overstate how much more precarious this moment would be if Trump was still in office, kowtowing to Putin and condemning Ukraine and Zelensky.
Both Rosa Parks and Claudette Colvin were βrebellious,β the white and black establishment BOTH looked down on them, and neither was the first Black person to refuse to give up their seat for a white passenger in Montgomery. The fight for equality and injustice was long and difficult and it was a collective struggle, not an individual one.

I did that once, several decades ago. The timing was unfortunate, the location was less than ideal, but I felt myself spiraling into something ugly, sat myself in front of the TV and found an Audrey Hepburn movie to watch. I remember her in Paris, dancing with Fred Astaire in a field of flowers.
The local elections have been and gone, but we're still fighting your corner on Voter ID.
If youβre trans and were rejected at the polling station, or just didn't bother trying to vote because of Voter ID, please let us know: press.transactualuk@gmail.com
Compensate for it by raising taxes on personal income (all personal income, from whatever source) over $10,000,000 per year to 110%.
You want to be a greedy bastard? Fine, but you'll pay for it.
The Child Tax Credit resulted in the largest poverty reduction in US history. We should reinstate it.
Are you LGBT?
No, I'm LGPT: a Lesbian Generative Pre-trained Trans-former. I'm the latest in doll technology!
And the story I've always heard is that the QWERTY keyboard layout was deliberately designed to limit typing speed, because typing too fast would jam the mechanism.
No idea if that's a true thing, or a myth.
Christopher Latham Sholes received a patent for an invention he called the "Type-Writer" #OTD in 1868.
This was the first typewriter to be a commercial success (about 5000 were made), the first to use the QWERTY keyboard layout invented by Sholes, and the first to be called a typewriter; the term was coined by Sholes. via @Wikipedia
@renwillis I can see where the sadly cheaper, but just as cute, Iron Giant watch of my youth came from π€― I saw one in a local collector's shop a few months ago for Β£5 and I still regret to this day not getting it π
I thought I could try modelling my handmade jewellery instead of just uploading them alone. What do you think? β€οΈ

Prior to Nixon, the US had 1/5th the prison population of the USSR post-Stalin, after Reagan we had double the population as the Soviet union even though its population hadn't gone down by much because we had much longer sentences. Since then we have doubled our prison population. China now has 1/3rd the prison population we do. If the Soviet union and China are rightfully called a police state what the hell does that make the US?

The UK will never have (and shouldn't have) the sweetheart deal it had before. All in, or all out, no half measures.
