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.

It's Trump's Supreme Court. They're having sham cases brought before them so they can rule as they had previously planned to rule!
No Stare Decisis!
No "judging" going on by the far right activist Trump puppets

I prefer to keep it light here, but if I may: If your Christian faith "requires" you to discriminate against people, you should have serious questions about your so-called faith. #SupremeCourt #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #Bigots https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/06/30/us/gay-rights-free-speech-supreme-court?unlocked_article_code=OITu2FYDoOsYQHGX6RMhvvkiutP7r2T-hT4YFlMzMjOsjX4_J6zArNU8JtaY_nSbc05VMSd-YK9XCIrLmPCWKWVQsniYT7yN1DyNlzeMq-a-2vp1sqobNn9k_EXwgMEqp6s1-jGN2HuZKy9pgaUXKpj5my_7VZS5QabrWYK6dZthN5cXReoqxJALKzkhutu8hH4Y3fHBHR7-OUOzcPScR13P56jY1v_MD6uSgkr2sK0bArKF-zjKDjfpQZA2GxSMgf7ZJabLr7BfHKjhHW87IjpjOy-wYfr7j5el8dFUFhFwo5e4aRlmYeJdzTIBDuhBdcURPfVbGr4jESozeHiMtny5OXgP9bn1WwyzV1_nk6vR&smid=url-share

Yes, she certainly did.

@ScriptFanix somewhat? When I've used metacommunication like 'hey I'm about to say something and it's not meant as an insult, I'm curious because of <reason> so I'd appreciate it if you could interpret it that way...', I get told I shouldn't worry so much, that it's cool, nobody assumes malice. Then I don't use it, because I'm engaged and have been made to feel safe and suddenly saying the same thing I was told needed no softening was completely wrong π
Some times I can even see why something might be interpreted as snide or aggressive - but have no alternative words to use to express it.
@loops @actuallyautistic "Fit" in every corporate context means white or Asian (or white-passing or benign brown), able-bodied, cishet, middle class or higher, male.
Probably a few more exclusions I missed or am not aware of, not being a good fit.
From US senate California candidate Rep. Barbara Lee:
βDeeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life."
This is why we needed the perspective of a Black woman on the courtβand why we need the perspectives of students of color in classrooms. #KBJ
A president can't do anything about it - or not anything more than Biden has done. Congress has to act, and right now half of Congress is in GQP hands.
"This is not a normal court," Biden says. Okay. And? What are you going to do about it?
Because court reform and expansion have been anathema to Democrats this entire time, even when everyone told them that's what they needed to do.
I don't care about speeches.
New from me: βGay furriesβ group hacks agencies in US states attacking gender-affirming care https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/29/siegedsec-gay-furries-group-hacked-information-six-us-states
re: mental illness question
Oh, and the group @actuallyautistic and/or the hashtag #ActuallyAutistic are both good places to start.
re: mental illness question
Yes, it has a name (which escapes me at the moment) and it's very likely tied to autism.
Except I'm not asking why the meeting is being held, I want to know what my role in the meeting is supposed to be. Which hat am I expected to wear, and is my presence even necessary? I've got other stuff to do. If this is a meeting to decide whether we should have a meeting, count me out.
(Not hyperbole, I've been in one of those.)
@ScottSoCal it helps if you reformulate "why" as "what is the purpose of this meeting?". "Why" has, in general, an undertone of negativity, "What's the purpose?" is more goal-oriented. And yet, equally to the point.
Give it a try.
@ScottSoCal @wdlindsy
Yes! Gotta monetize those experiences! π°
@MariaHill @Heimdall Affirmative Action benefited Clarence Thomas, now he wants to make sure that it never benefits anyone else ever again.
And the 8,000,000 people who use CPAP machines, along with their friends and family, heave a collective yawn.
The media is tripping over itself because Pres. Biden wears a CPAP machine. Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell randomly shows up to work with purple bruises all over his face and the former guy nearly died when he got COVID, and Clarence Thomas was hospitalized for several days within the last year. The absence of editorial perspective is contributing to the destruction of American democracy
There are two types of Star Trek fans in the Bay Area. Those who can't look at the Golden Gate without seeing Starfleet Academy behind it, and those of us who are waiting for the Bell Riots.
