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.

@ScottSoCal also... Ker-ching! π°π°π°π€
Oh, you people, always pushing your Autistic Agenda.

It is not even 2pm yet and my day has been rather eventful:
1. Went grocery shopping.
2. Picked up a prescription from CVS.
3. Got another prescription moved.
4. Cut my hair.
5. Unclogged the bathroom sink. I had a notion that it was clogged but I had proof today after my haircut. (Yes, I cut my hair myself.)
6. Took a shower.
7. Cleaned the bathroom floor.
8. Profit?
Not sure what else is in store for me today.
Scifi Mastodon, please come to my aid!
I am trying to compile a list of vintage scifi stories that feature Andean Indians able to breath the rarefied atmosphere of the planet Mars.
This is of course impossible, but was a popular motif in scifi back around the 1950s. I seem to remember it appearing in an Arthur C. Clarke science fact book, then appearing in several stories by other authors. But I can't remember the titles or authors.
I think one was Crucifixus Etiam, by Walter Miller Jr.
Good morning, especially to small baby goats who joyfully fling themselves off hay bales and dare the other goats to follow
It did say all of them had voted for anti-trans bills.
But still brilliant compared to MTG statements. π
This statement in the article bothered me.
"Kansas Republican leaders have since said more than 100 state and legislative officials have received threatening letters filled with a suspicious powdery substance."
Republican leaders are making a statement, but its unclear if all the recipients are republican.
I would speculate that is the case since they chose a deceased transgender person for the return addressee.
I'm in Group 3 - people who didn't tweet, but started seeing all these articles about an extinct hairy elephant.
It occurred to me that there were two groups of people that came to Mastodon in November. The first thought Twitter was literally going to shut down and needed virtual methodone for their social media addiction. The second were users dissatisfied with what Twitter had become and jumped at an alternative. I believe it's the second group that have stuck around.

I read the article, I'm aware. But it's a quote from an elected legislator. Which makes her sound stupid.
π
Its the text from the article.
If you get a fraudulent phone call, you could claim to be targeted because they called your specific number. With that data alone, it sounds like speculative paranoia to claim to be targeted.
I think they just didn't want to commit to a larger targeting statement with only the information they have.
But yes, as worded it does sound stupid. π
Familiar to just about every Black American, the phrase "traveling while Black" encapsulates the experiences & challenges encountered by Black people during their travels, particularly in predominantly white or racially hostile environments. It sheds light on the racial profiling, discrimination, and systemic biases that generations of Black folks have faced on their journeys across the American landscape.

If you are a cis woman, and you think anti-trans legislation does not impact you, you need to wake up. Your performance of femininity will be policed. You should care because others are being hurt, but if that is not enough, realize you too will be hurt. This is a sub toot for someone in my life who is not on the Fediverse, but Iβve said as much to this person.
russia killed these two 15-year-olds Anna and Julia in an attack on the Kramatorsk restaurant yesterday.
Never forget. #russiaisaterrroriststate #ukraine
And yet the media is still devoting all their coverage to the various TFG farts and belches.
