I am making Jambalaya for dinner and it isn't because Sisko is the best captain but it's also not NOT for that reason. #ds9
So #SaturdayMug is a hashtag here? OK, I can play along. This is one of my favorites, with artwork by Sandra Boynton.
Scientists have discovered a trove of nearly 600 obsidian hand-axes that were crafted more than 1.2 million years ago in Ethiopia by an unknown group of hominins. This pushes the timeline of obsidian tool use back by 500,000 years.

Today weβre celebrating the Brown Bomber of Sophisticated Songs: Gladys Bentley (1907-1960)!
Bentley was a successful African American pianist, blues singer, and entertainer during the Harlem Renaissance. Her career took off when she appeared at a gay club in NYC: Harry Hansberry's Clam House, as a black, lesbian, cross-dressing performer backed by a chorus line of drag queens. Her signature outfit remains a tuxedo and top hat!
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.
