I donβt ever post personal things, but Iβm too excited not to share!
I have had an incredibly tough medical battle for the last two years.
Without getting into specifics, yesterday was a huge milestone for me!
My Hickman (tunneled central line) was removed. Although I still have some chronic med issues/pain, this marks a significant move in the right direction and a big improvement in my quality of life!
IβM SO THANKFUL! βΊοΈβ€οΈβπ©Ήπ
Is it not fitting that one if the exceptionally few #museum s with the awareness to start publishing here is the Auschwitz Memorial?

The January 6 committee has released the deposition transcripts of 34 traitors who pleaded the Fifth over and over, even for questions as simple as, βHow old are you?β and βAre coups allowed?β https://youtu.be/H4VNlDIkyxY
One of the things my team @ProPublica does is run our Nonprofit Explorer database. Itβs super popular and useful, but it relies on IRS data to run.
So weβre in a unique position to both see that the IRS is failing at its duty to make this data available and also to be able to report on it as news: https://www.propublica.org/article/irs-hasnt-released-nearly-half-million-nonprofit-tax-records

Several racist incidents targeting Black people occurred this high school football season around the nation. Administrators in some cases have used these incidents to start conversations about race.

I'll go first:

If this doesn't make your day a little brighter, then you are a cruel and heartless person.

Things Iβve noticed here so far. 1. Length of posts is long enough to make a point without assuming to much prior knowledge or droning on. Nice. 2. Very few whacky follower/following ratios, not too many huge egos. 3. Canβt translate posts. Weβre good for three languages in this house and then we have to give up. Little disappointing. 4. The general attitude seems to be *donβt be a jerk face*. Hope it lasts but the trolls will come. 5. Wanted, leftist views from all over. International iykwim π
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made an impassioned and emotional plea to Congress on Wednesday for continued American support against Russiaβs unrelenting assault, speaking personally and passionately about why Ukraine needed more aid and weapons. https://wapo.st/3YM4mO2
I canβt stop thinking about the Afghan girls Robotic team knows as Afghan Dreamers. The girls with minimal resources were able to design and build low cost ventilators and their expertise were used during Covid crisis. Roya, a member of Afghan dreamers was ranked among Timeβs 100 most influential people for her work in building internet classrooms in Afghan high schools.

Auschwitz is a place that shows where hatred, #antisemitism and contempt for a fellow man led people decades ago.
It is also a place where we should reflect on our own responsibility for the world we live in. The warnings of the past should be a key to better future.

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.
