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.

"If I say or write something it's been meticulously crafted to express my exact meaning."
That's me.
"I'm more likely to tackle an issue to get resolution because Iβm unable to forget what was said."
Also that.
"I'm unable to recognize a person unless I actively examine their face for longer than it takes the average person."
And that.

"There are common traits the public associates with ASD:
lack of eye contact and social awkwardness
some autistic people either trained themselves or were forced to mask"
Yeah, that's me. I force eye contact, because I was told I came across as deceptive.
"lack of hunger and thirst triggers is a trait reported in autistic people"
I keep bottles of water in my office, to remind me to drink.

Quiet inlet of water, oil painting. I just returned from a visit with my dentist. Evidently the tooth pain I've been feeling is because I've been clenching my jaw. I guess the good news is I don't need a root canal, just better ways to relax. This painting is tranquility on a canvas for me.

Kansas, GOP Lawmakers, #TransGenocide
"Kansas legislators impose sweeping law that legally erases trans people"
The gist of it is extremely simple, and exceedingly far-reaching: They're legally declaring everyone to be whatever sex & therefore gender that was assigned at birth based on external anatomy, forever and in all circumstances.
"Many supporters in the Legislature acknowledged before it passed that they hadnβt considered how it will be administered."
It's on its way to the Governor and they have the votes to override a veto.
The key to life is simplicity.
and love, of course.
and clean socks.
coffee is important too.. maybe before socks.
OK, these aren't in order.
They so desperately want women trapped in marriages and pregnancies we don't want.
And evergreen reminder: that's one of the reasons they want child marriage, too.
They want women falling for the trap before we're old enough to know better.

I have a serious question for folks. Yes, the GOP is vile.
I wonder though, have people thought what American would be like if the GOP is smashed & the current corporate Dem party has no rival?
The economic policy is pretty much the GOP policy of 30 years ago.
Foreign policy is pretty much the same as the GOP of 15 years ago.
The immigration policy is pretty much the GOP policy of 15 years ago
Etc etc etc
#French drinks giant Pernod Ricard has restarted some exports of brands including Beefeater gin and #Jameson whiskey to russia.
Pernod Ricard said it had resumed limited shipments to "ensure the economic viability" of its russian operations.
But campaigners said the move was "disgusting".
The drinks firm had to U-turn on exporting Absolut vodka to russia last week after a backlash.

People with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are all around usβtheyβre integrated in schools and the workforce. But for many of us, all we know about ASD are the news stories speculating about a diagnosis for a violent mass shooter or a savant with remarkable skills.
We rarely hear directly from people with autism. In today's The Big Picture, we change that. Read more at #TheBigPicture: https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/autism-spectrum-disorder-adult-life

This errant mylar balloon that arrived out of nowhere was easily the most terrifying thing that had happened to these chickens, ever. There was the running around, the flapping of wings, the endless yelling.
π¨ THERE IS A THING
π¨ A THING CAME FROM THE SKY
π¨ THE THING IS A THREAT
π¨ LOOK IT'S A THING
π¨ OMG A THING A THING
π¨ OMG OMG OMG OMG
It took twenty minutes and FIVE handfuls of cracked corn to settle everyone down.
Mylar balloons: threat AND menace (if you are a chicken)
2/fin
Yesterday it was a pleasant warm afternoon and we were sitting and relaxing out on the porch enjoying the silence when we spotted a mylar helium balloon (pink, "baby girlβ) wafting through the air toward us.
We watched as the dying helium balloon gently, gently floated on the breeze up the hill, over the trees, past the house, over the lawn, through the garden, and then gently, gently floated right down into the chicken yard where it instantly prompted
π¨ π¨ π¨ TOTAL CHICKEN MAYHEM π¨ π¨ π¨
