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.

I think she was worried about appearing "shrill and angry and unlikeable".
I secretly wish she'd maced him, but I think she could have gotten away with mocking him: speak quietly into her microphone
"Can someone call security? I think I have a stalker."
No, he can't. Not unilaterally. He would need Congress, and the House is controlled by people who will burn it all down rather than give Biden something he wants.
I'm going nuts with all the posts I'm seeing about Biden and Gaza.
Yes, I hate what's happening in Gaza.
Yes, Biden is president.
No, there's nothing he can legally do to stop it. He can encourage Bibi to stop slaughtering people - and he is. He can delay shipments of weapons - and he is. He can't violate US law or signed treaties. He's not a dictator, here or in Israel. He can't just do whatever he wants.
And, seriously - how would ANY of this be better with Trump?!?!?
Anything that I know I'll have to do over and over again, I work up a system - a series of steps that can't vary, or it'll throw me off completely.
I've been a mess for the last week, both in mourning, and because my dog's death has thrown my "home from work" system into chaos. Coffee doesn't get set up, parrot sometimes has to demand food NOW! because I had to skip getting dog food ready and everything else suffered.
I really want people to understand.
Joe Biden wants to forgive unfair student debt. He keeps trying to do what he set out to do. These effers are still trying to stop him.
Judges are elected or appointed by your elected officials. You see how important it is to not just vote for President, but Representatives, Senators, and every single local office.
Missouri, Kansas judges temporarily halt much of President Biden's student debt forgiveness plan |

It's the space lizards you really have to keep an eye on.
During the #Euro2024 #Ukraine versus Belgium match, fans displayed a banner with the portrait of Nazariy Hryntsevich, codenamed "Hrienka," a fallen soldier and #football fan. The image was generated by artificial intelligence from the photos of 182 fallen Ukrainian soldiers, who, in civilian life, were part of fan movements supporting Ukrainian clubs.

One of my most-used meeting phrases is "I think the two of you are talking past each other. You're talking about X, and the other one is talking about Y."
@randahl β I might lose because Iβm demented & insane.β
It would be too little, too late.
What if one day rowling, trump, putin, netanyahu, etc. wake up and realize that they were making a huge mistake, apologize and promise to make amends?
Our houseguest arrives tomorrow morning. Timba canβt waitβsheβs looking forward to having a new fren to play with in the pool! #DogdOfMastodon #SoCal #KeepingCool

We set up small overflow fountains in the front yard, and a large waterfall fountain in the back yard, when we bought our house. Purely for aesthetics, but over the years it's amazed me how many animals and insects they attract, to get a drink on hot days. Hornets, bees, birds, squirrels, they're all out there, all day long, getting drinks of water.
To anyone still masking in the workplace...
Or presenting masked to an in-person audience...
And to anyone navigating a career at any stage while still taking the transmission of airborne disease seriously...
What a professional badass!! I'm so proud of you. You got this. ππ₯
Yβall, this is not that hard. In the US:
Right to Work refers to States that have banned union security clauses. Essentially, you canβt be required to join a union or pay dues as a condition of employment. Itβs meant to weaken unions. It has nothing to do with firing, and itβs relatively recent.
At Will refers to an employment arrangement where neither party must give any cause or any notice to terminate the relationship. Essentially, you can be fired for no reason at all.
