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.

My first thought was Munich, for the Christmas Markets, but they don't start for another 3 weeks.

Don't let the GOP Putin apologists fool you--we must support Ukraine's fight for democracy or America will be at war with Russia. #Putin #Russia #Ukraine #GOP #GOPTraitors

That's what I do. Years ago I started getting up early to treadmill/crossfit before I got ready for work, and it was fantastic for me. I wake up early enough to sit and drink my coffee, and the exercise and shower before work seem to clear away the fog. I get to work wide awake and ready to go.
Thank you:

I understand that. Someone incredibly important to me died, and it took me about 6 months before I cried for the first time. Before that I was just kind of neutral.
In my mother's case, because it was complicated, I think I'm a mix of angry, resentful, and sad. Sad for what should have been, but wasn't.
I had someone at work opine for about 15 minutes about the horrors of one wall in a room being painted a different color.
Not your taste, got it. So don't do it in your house. No need to carry on about it.
Thanks for the input, everyone who did. My brain already decided I'm going to write a letter. It's partially composed, now, but I'll wait till I get home to type it in.
I always re-write 400 times, anyway, till it says exactly what I want it to say.
I did, once upon a time. And this may sound like snark, but I promise it isn't: it's dark and scary in there, and I don't want to visit again.
I do that with my parrot and dogs. They get the love and understanding I wish I'd gotten.
Looking for recommendations: what do you do when you get stuck figuring out what emotion(s) you're feeling?
My mother died a few days ago. Our relationship was toxic, and we haven't spoken for years. I know I'm feeling something, from the tense crackling inside, but I don't know what it is.
Would Fediverse admins like a presentation by Babka folks on antisemitism on the Fediverse, specifically what mainstream Jews/Jewish organizations consider hate speech and why?
If you're an instance admin or a moderator and you'd be interested, I'd like to hear from you. If there's enough interest, I'll put together a signup, but this is just a feeler for now.
If you're interested, please reply or DM me, thanks!
If you're not an admin, please boost or let your admin know about this! Thanks!
re: phrasing
If he's single, maybe that's why he's hard?
If you ever find a bathroom exhaust fan that's quiet, that doesn't make a horrible rattling/whirring/vacuum cleaner noise, post it far and wide. I'll buy 3.
Yeah. There are many things I'd like to say, but none of them would change anything, and that would just lead to more anger, disappointment, and resentment - on both sides. Nothing good would come of it, so why do it?

That feeling in the air, just before a storm? Kind of a stillness, but with an energy that crackles, like lightning? That's what I'm feeling. And that's all I'm feeling right now.
I keep finding more parallels to coming out gay and coming out autistic. Including (especially?) not pathologizing myself. There's nothing wrong about either, they're just aspects of who I am. To change either one would be to change me, and I'm pretty comfortable with me as I am.

Who pushed through canceling student loan debt? Biden.
Who sued to stop canceling student debt? Republicans. That pattern is repeated over and over again. If you want to see progressive things, you can't enable regressive Republicans. Not voting blue enables Republicans.
So my mother died. Not unexpected, because she was in her 80s, but not expected because we haven't spoken for about 10 years. I feel like I'm balancing on a point, ready to fall off, but I don't know which way I'm going to fall. How do I feel about this? Truly, deeply, have absolutely no idea.
Alexithymia is real, right now.

After the dove I now have an African Gray parrot. She's smart enough she's taken over the house, and turned us humans into her servants. She rings the bell for service. Parrots (and parrotlets) are scary smart.
