This week, a bailiff stopped me and acted as though I was in the wrong place as I walked through a portion of the courthouse that is restricted to attorneys and judges.
I'm an attorney. I was wearing a suit and conducting myself just like every other attorney in that area.
This is not the first time that has happened. I can think of several other instances in various counties where courthouse security has assumed that my black skin means I must not be an attorney.
I'm tired of it.
Always a Republican, when it actually happens.

Celebrating one year of rooftop solar in rainy Seattle!
It generated 80% of our annual electricity. In the last 9 months we paid $50 total in electric bills, inclusive of EV charging. Rooftop solar lowers energy costs, reduces emissions and helps protect sensitive landscapes.

"The #authoritarianism of #Florida Gov. #DeSantis means trampling on humans - lied-to #migrants, misled #Black voters and now 700 brilliant college students - on his White House path
Why the battle over New College is a fight for America's soul."

To any Russian supporting Putin or even sitting idle:
No matter how much you hide, no matter how much you pretend that you believe the lies of the Kremlin (I know you don't):
You are guilty.

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.
