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.

SCOTUS, bigoted anti-LGBTQ ruling
"The court ruled 6-3 for designer Lorie Smith despite a Colorado law that bars discrimination based on sexual orientation, race, gender and other characteristics. Smith had argued that the law violates her free speech rights."
Honestly, fuck the Supreme Court. She had no standing, had no injury and the letter she said prompted her lawsuit was fake. Her "web design company" was only hypothetical, yet they ruled for her???
Now they've destroyed anti-discrimination state laws if artists for hire are involved. FOR HIRE, AS IN RUNNING A BUSINESS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. FFS. I wonder how the definition of "artist" will now get stretched. Does "writers" include journalists working for a news site or internal newsletter?
"Whatcha looking for?"
"Robins."
"I hear those are beautiful."
"Very much so."
"Seen any?"
"Not yet."
Installing solar and batteries on rooftops would more than meet the need for power generation, at their current levels of efficiency. All the pieces are there, we just need to will to do it.
great! Now we have to rep0licate that 300 million times in America alone, as if it were our only job.
As if it were our only job.
Past efforts are admirable, the job to do is within our capacity, but its ALL HANDS ON DECK
My house generates more power, through solar, than it uses. That extra power is fed back into the grid, for other people to use. I don't make much from it, but that's OK, I'm powering one or two other houses, so they don't need to pull power from a gas or coal power plant. I can afford it.
But to get the utility company to allow me to do that, I had to justify the size of my solar installation. I waxed poetic about all the energy-hungry things I planned to do, so they would say yes.
They have been saying, our governments that climate collapse is decades away, a hundred years, that we can "accommodate" climate changes.
Climate collapse is HERE NOW.
WE must Build All the Renewables Needed to make carbon fuels unneeded and redundant. Build enough solar and wind tio REPLACE ALL oil and gas, everywhere, every land, right now.
We must demand it now, force it if they do not begin.
This out-of-control Supreme Court must be reformed:
β 13 justices
β single 18-year term
β binding code of ethics
β full investigation of corrupt gifts
No need, Jane. Just relax. Dick will always find you. #GoodMorning #DailyGiggle
@knitting day 5 of #knitting my #FayeSummerTop: I can actually put it on now, and it fits exactly as I had planned! Iβm so happy I could cry. 
I joined the front and back in the round, and the ease is bang on after I spent so much time doing knitting math to make sure it would fit correctly using different needles and yarn weight than the pattern recommended. It was my first time deviating like that, but I trusted my gauge swatch, math, and most importantly my capabilities/myself, and it totally paid off! 
Or not voting at at all, because "both sides are the same".
Behold the value of Jill Stein and "protest" votes.
PPP forgiveness helps the Job Creatorsβ’.
Student loan forgiveness helps The Great Unwashed. Ew.
So forgiving PPP loans is capitalism β but forgiving student loans is socialism?
I learned that "You hunt like a girl!" doesn't mean what we think it does.
One of the things I love about Mastodon is that I can go on an angry political rant, make a joke about butts, talk to a very nice lady about Zucchini, chat about obscure Star Trek references, and learn about fossilized Sea Monster teeth all in the same 24 hours, in the same place.
What did you Mastodon today?
New study kills the myth of βMan the Hunterβ - women hunted in nearly 80% of surveyed forager societies.
Information about forager societies (allowing to reinforce the myth) mostly came from ethnographies written by 18th to 20th century white Euro-American men who visited communities and followed the local men around, often paying less attention to whatever women were doing.
