Bit of a long shot, but could my good mastodon follower folk give me some boosts?
I'm starting work on a documentary podcast series about the future of space; renewable/sustainable technologies, commercialism in the sector and the public's perception of it all.
I'm hoping to connect with people who know space to complement my client's contacts, so any signal boosting would be appreciated!
I want to tell parents of trans kids under attack in the red states something:
This is simply horrifying. Like you, we can't understand how any politicians could stoop so low as to attack the most vulnerable among us.
You are strong, and we will fight for and beside you. And though we may lose these initial battles, your love and strength will help win this in the end. I know that to be true.
Don't let the mainstream media twist the narrative. They need their story. They need the drama and conflict. In their business model of profit over truth and the public interest, they are only in search of revenue-generation.
The 2024 race for the WH & Congress will literally be the race between Democracy vs Fascism
The past 2 yrs makes I even easier to make my choice:

@ScottSoCal @Bette @actuallyautistic very similar here although now I'm retired I have space to try letting go of those and am using them less.
@ScottSoCal Ohhh, Ashley C.
I once read a review where they complained that the chicken Caesar salad had too much chicken. If only there were an easy solution to remedy such a problem.

Many of the posts here have mentioned things that ring with me.
Does anyone mind if I lurk, read, and learn more?
And sorry for the two posts, my instance has a small character limit per post.

Am I @actuallyautistic ? I don't know. I've never considered it until I started reading some of the posts here. I know almost nothing about autism.
I've called myself "socially awkward", and "introvert". Other people have called me "unaware", "difficult", "intense", "hyper-focused".
People often confuse me, I have no idea why they do what they do. I'm good with animals. Animals don't conceal, or evade, or lie. I'm good with machines. They work or they don't.
This is first on Mastodon! Please boost this thread. Itβs an important one.
Good morning to readers. Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
Some career news: Iβm leaving NPR as part of the layoffs that dramatically reduced the companyβs workforce.
Iβve decided to go back into Ukraine to keep reporting.
But this time, alone.
This is what I'm doing right now. Except I'm not a #squirrel. I guess that's obvious.

My husband gifted me this special paintbrush I can use on my I-pad. It works almost like one but does not give me the fine control I like when I paint. Yet I love how my stroke came out on this pink heart.

Valley of the Gwangi has a cowboy punching a pterodactyl. Repeat, A COWBOY PUNCHING a PTERODACTYL
Been working on animations a bit for third person view with metahoomans
Not bad for a few hours right!
Back in my day, you could cyber on any day, not just Monday.
Hello out there!
During the #twittermigration five months ago I joined Mastodon and now with the #calckey surge going on, I'd thought Iβd check out what this side of the #Fediverse is all about.
Iβm a data #journalist with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. My work focuses on data visualization and storytelling, analysis and investigative journalism.
Iβm also a recent dad and an avid #skier, #cyclist and general lover of anything to do with #mountains.
I used to tweet a lot, mainly about news in #Calgary, #Alberta, #Canada, and especially about COVID-19 #data during the first two years of the pandemic. But I quit Twitter in December 2022 because it just became too much.
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.
