@UncleDuke1969 I havenβt got enough energy to clean the bathroom, but someone has enough verve to create exquisitely crafted armor and shield for a squirrel. Iβm 50% impressed and 50% horrified.
Bambi is gathering his forces, getting ready for the assault.
@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic I use them as a last resort, but I find them to be physically uncomfortable. They make my ears hot and sweaty.

One of those "Oh, wait, did I say that out loud?" moments.

At a website I've been a regular for 10+ years. Another regular made a remark that surprised me, about her own son. Something about him deciding that everything he wanted belonged to him, just because he wanted it - and that it was because he was on the spectrum.
I didn't challenge her, directly, I just responded and said that surprised me. I'm also on the spectrum, and we typically have very black and white notions of right and wrong. She backpedaled, hard.
why do allistic people applaud their allistic friends when they abuse #ActuallyAutistic people on social media?
it's bizarre.
i've seen this a few times today here and it's super disturbing.
@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic Shaun of the Dead.
After the last week, I needed a comfort movie. I don't care how many times I watch it, it always makes me feel better.
What do you watch to feel better?
Since apparently #introduction posts are important here is mine!

The actual Brady Bunch house is for sale. At $5.5 million, it's a very Brady deal. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/11222-Dilling-St-North-Hollywood-CA-91602/20025974_zpid/
As painful and difficult as I know this must be, I applaud you.
A few weeks ago, I was very surprised to receive an email that my story, βTwo Hands, Wrapped in Gold,β had been nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Novelette. As is customary, the awards team asked if I wished to accept the nomination or withdraw it from consideration. Unfortunately, Iβve decided to choose the latter option.

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.
