^^This, right here. Me, too.^^
Luck, privilege, and pure chance have given me a much better life than I could have expected. Hard work too, sure, but those first things had more to do with it.
Today sharing about my time in the tech hotspot of Cambridge when that town lead the world in affordable home computers and you couldn't move for young bright things making startups, and I had the most amazing job...
I'm acknowledging that while my undiagnosed #ActuallyAutistic self made life hell, it along with a good dollop of blind chance, also enabled me to have an incredibly interesting and privileged life,.
I won't say that being #autistic rocks but it wasn't all bad.

My plant life brings all the bees to the yard
And they're like, it's better than yours
Damn right it's better than yours
I can teach you, but I have to charge
There's a beautiful #lavender #bush absolutely filled with #bumblebees in my neighbourhood. They might be hard to spot on the photograph.
Every time I walk by I pause to enjoy their buzzing. Bumble bees make me happy.

Iggy has been holding on to this celery for an hour so far. She's been showing it to anyone who is at all mildly interested. Like you.

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.
