Currently I'm paying a lot of attention to the invasion of Ukraine, the pandemic, the rise of fascism, disinfo, cyber badness, and how to tip the environment toward species survival. Send cats.

homophobia, social anxiety and -mh
my mom once told me that i feel like an alien that came on earth and can't blend in with humans well.
while i am certain that i am native to earth, i find that...there is something about what she said.
i don't really belong to any people.
i am kazakh but due to the consequences of cultural imperialism and the fact i grew up in a russian speaking neighborhood, i am largely detached from my culture, even despite trying to find it again
i don't belong to the community of english speaking people either because i am a foreigner, i don't speak english well, and in general, our social experiences are so different i simply fear i will always be an outlier.
i don't belong among average people because to them i am too weird. or too radical. too gay. too strange. i don't belong among my family because they are queerphobic. i don't belong to anybody irl because people who even claim to be allies are not actually allies.
not to mentioned im neurodiv and socially awkward and anxious.
i don't know what my home is.
Our country grieves the victims of yet another senseless mass shooting, this time in Louisville.
2023 has seen more mass shootings than days.
This cannot continue to be our reality. #GunReformNOW
I wonder how many religions and firmly held beliefs were started because of someone treating a night terror as a sacred truth and not just your half asleep brain misfiring
We are 100 days into 2023.
Todayβs mass shooting in Louisville, KY has left 5 people dead & is the 146th mass shooting of 2023.
We don't have to live like this.
Republicans have loudly admitted, "We're not going to fix this," proving once again that Republicans claim government doesn't work, then get elected & prove it.
Vote the GOP out. Vote in Dems who will pass actual and proven gun safety legislation. Protect our nation.
I just noticed that I have over 2,300 toots. So, here's a picture. I toot a lot. This sunrise was great!

Exactly one year ago I walked across the Polish border into #Ukraine to live and work as a volunteer. Today, I received my Ukrainian residence permit so I can stay here until our victory.πͺπ½πΊπΈπππΊπ¦πͺπ½
Women can't be complacent any longer in Florida & otherπ©Έstates. They're lives are on the line: Two friends were denied care after Florida banned abortion. One almost died.
New abortion restrictions have disrupted the standard of care for a pregnancy complication both women experienced late last year-: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/10/pprom-florida-abortion-ban/?pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWJpZCI6IjI1MjA1MzUwIiwicmVhc29uIjoiZ2lmdCIsIm5iZiI6MTY4MTA5OTIwMCwiaXNzIjoic3Vic2NyaXB0aW9ucyIsImV4cCI6MTY4MjM5NTE5OSwiaWF0IjoxNjgxMDk5MjAwLCJqdGkiOiIwYTZlMWZkNy0xMDkyLTQyNjYtOTAxNC05ZDlmOTdmYTA5ZTkiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy53YXNoaW5ndG9ucG9zdC5jb20vcG9saXRpY3MvMjAyMy8wNC8xMC9wcHJvbS1mbG9yaWRhLWFib3J0aW9uLWJhbi8ifQ.GQIjW4IrRcESNqiKEnUP-cypxMlTygRP79sykby_Tbs&itid=gfta

Justin Jones and Joan Baez sing βWe Shall Overcomeβ at a chance airport meeting.
βWhen you get off the plane with the legendary Joan Baez you know itβs a movement of the spirit. She stands with us in our struggle in Tennessee and said sheβs hopeful to see young voices leading.
WE SHALL OVERCOMEβ¦
Serendipitous, indeed.β

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.
