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.

FEMA is doing an emergency alert test on all TVs, radios, and cell phones on October 4, 2023, at approximately 2:20pm ET.
If you live in the US and you have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure that it is turned off at this time.
Yes, I'm doing this months in advance, and yes, my blog has very little reach, but I figure better to post about it more than less.
Please reblog and add better tags than mine, I'm bad at tags.
I'm at the opposite end of that spectrum. 4 siblings still living, with all their spouses and children, both parents (last I heard), and too many cousins, their spouses and children and all the childrens' children, and some of their children. Fortunately, they're all 2 states away. I'm gay, married, with one adopted daughter (and her children).
One of the many things I don't miss about my bio-family is their macabre version of funerals.
"Oh, hey, you kids, circle up around the casket, we're gonna get one last shot of you with gramma."

@asbestos @hellomiakoda @Autistrain @hosford42 @sal@brain.worm.pink @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity @Tooden @ScottSoCal @pathfinder @markusl @sentient_water @Adventurer Random strange men have just said that to me. I have a RBF from Hell and have had since childhood. I usually scowl more and stick my tongue out.
Mastodon made me autistic.
I got on here, started following the people who wrote things that spoke to me, that I understood, that resonated and - oh, gee, most of them are autistic? What's that about?

I try to assume good intention when I read posts. If it isn't clear, I'll either explain what I meant or ask for clarification. But when it's obviously just an attack post, for the sake of attacking someone who has done nothing to deserve it, I have a vast, untapped reservoir of repressed anger I can dive into, and I'm OK with releasing a bit of it in their direction.

He's going to get people killed with this.
You know what Nazis used to do in my Twitter replies before I started mass blocking?
They'd give my home address out to OTHER Nazis in my replies who had expressed an interest in murdering my family and me.
What Aaron said. We're generally presentable people, and we don't bite unless you ask, nicely.
You're not alone. I laughed at Mark's funeral, with the rest of our friends. We'd secretly dated though high school, and stayed friends for years after.

Grindr's Return to Office plan would have me uprooting my family and moving 1000 miles back to Chicago. I'm taking the generous severance they're offering and I'll be parting ways with them at the end of August.

I only recently came to understand that my polymorphous emotions were not necessarily the βnormβ. I guess I thought others were better at hiding all but a narrow, singular expression of emotion.

Judge Tanya Chutkan is not one to play with, a fact that Trump and his counsel are learning fast. Since the announcement of her assignment last Friday, Judge Chutkan has put her foot down in more ways than one. And I'm here for it. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/chutkan-trump-protective-order-threat

"Cousin" is gender neutral. Something based on that.

The next time Iβm invited to a party, Iβm going to respond with this animated gif because itβs virtually the same as if Iβd actually attended.
My parents were not nice people, and I did the same thing. It practically guaranteed I got worse than my siblings got.

The article gives some examples, it's mostly overwhelming emotion. Happy tears, terrified laughter, that kind of thing.
@hosford42 @littlescraps @servelan @Adventurer @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity @Tooden @markusl@fosstodon.org
"This behaviour occurs more commonly in individuals who experience dimorphous emotions across a range of situations, and may help to regulate emotions by balancing an overwhelmingly positive emotion with a negative response."
TL:DR - Humans are weird.
