When the loudness of the world cannot listen to your heart, the quietness of nature keeps its ears and arms open for you.
From the lake near my cabin in the wilderness of the Yukon, I am dispatching joy, hope, healing and positivity.

Books by James Baldwin, one of Americaβs greatest intellectuals, humanists and activists (he was also a film critic* and historian) that I highly recommend. Well, I highly recommend all of them including the one in my photo. Here are just a few of the other Baldwin books you must read:
Go Tell It On The Mountain
Notes Of A Native Son
No Name In The Street
The Devil Finds Work*
Another Country
If Beale Street Could Talk
The Evidence Of Things Not Seen

Great news!
In a landmark judgement, the Barbados High Court has issued a ruling that decriminalized consensual same-sex relations.
Barbados becomes the 3rd Eastern Caribbean country in 2022 to strike down discriminatory legal provisions and decriminalize gay sex, after Antigua and Barbuda and Saint Kitts and Nevis.

After Donald Trump unveiled that his "major announcement" was the Sad! release of his collectible digital trading cards, President Biden showed him what a real presidential announcement looks like.
Well played, sir! π
Visit to the Newton Room today (regional STEM hub for secondary schools), loads of renewable energy based experimental stuff. First year class, and very engaged. On top of that, one of the girls dug into SparkVue, an app I spend time explaining to 6th years and teachers, and created a beautifully well annotated set of multiple data runs, very impressed. All off her own initiative.
Absolutely delighted to join Mastodon!

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.
