My governor, Gavin Newsom:
I sleep soundly at night with my #NRA βFβ rating, thanks.
Aaron Rupar:
Wayne LaPierre says at the NRA event that "gun hating politicians should never go to bed unafraid of what this association and all of our millions of members can do to their political careers" π³

Looking for journalists!!
I just produced a music video with 5 nonbinary and trans artists and activists, responding to harmful decisions to our community by the UK government and focusing on inspiring empathy. This is probably the first art project funded by supporters on Mastodon. I can't say much more at this stage, but I'm happy to send a private link to #journalists who may be interested in reviewing this project on its release and supporting the #transgender and #nonbinary communities.
It's weird when people think I can't be autistic, because I "speak so well."
Even putting aside how problematic that is as an assessment of anyone, there's the matter of how literally everything I say or type has been workshopped while talking to myself many, many times, in some cases over a period of years. Including this. This right here. I practiced this.
My head is like a carefully curated collection of index cards full of things I might be called upon to say, from which I read as needed.
If you are a creative person, one who dares to challenge norms, who prefers a small business over big corporates, and who cares deeply about causes that move your heart, then I made some things for you. I mainly do music about neurodiversity, gender, mental health and the climate emergency but I also have a small business of my handmade jewellery (vegan materials) that is for people of all genders. I use those funds to create more art. Hope you find something you like β€οΈ

I haven't done an #introduction post on here yet and this isn't one, but please enjoy this cheese & have a great Friday
And always #BrieBest π π§ π§
Iβve been on Mastodon a bit now, and I guess I should finally have an #introduction toot.
I have owned a few companies in the web hosting industry over the years. I love working with #WordPress and have contributed a lot over the years to the #Ubuntu community.
I enjoy the occasional good whiskey, but I hardly ever drink.
I love all things #scifi and #fantasy, from books to movies and shows.
I was once a garage band drummer and have been a fan of the #lasvegasraiders since I was a kid.
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.
