#Introduction toot
Iβm bowled over by the people here and the wealth of ideas and creative pursuits. Almost everything interests me. Iβm worried about the plight & the future of the world & seek ways to maintain balance with grace & humor while still working toward a better world.
I play classical piano, enjoy dancing, study French, garden, & am a home barista & coffee roaster/alchemist. Iβm also interested in #music #photography #science and #art #classicalmusic #classicalpiano #VintageArt

"Miss Ukraine unveiled the costume she'll wear at the 2023 #MissUniverse pageant... The costume, titled Warrior of Light, was brought to life by Ukrainian designer Lesia Patoka... The project took her four months, which included extended periods with no electricity and having to work by candlelight and fighting the cold as the sirens wailed in the streets. βIn this image, there is a reference to Archangel Michael, the guardian angel, who protects #Ukraine with a sword..."

Sounds like a lot of people first heard of Andrew Tate yesterday. I wrote about him (and related misogynist trends) back in August.
TurnSignl is an #app designed to protect people, especially Black people and all #POC, from the #police during traffic stops. It begins with one touch or a voice command, records video to a remote server, and prompts a live chat with a lawyer on screen. Itβs co-founded by a Black attorney and is free for low-income folks.

4. Romanian police use pizza box in video to prove Tate is in country and arrest him.
2022 is ending with some true artistic flair.
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.
