Kyrsten Sinema May Talk Like A Jerk, Act Like A Jerk But Donβt Be Fooled, She Really Is A Jerk https://www.wonkette.com/kyrsten-sinema-may-talk-like-a-jerk-act-like-a-jerk-but-dont-be-fooled-she-really-is-a-jerk
I didn't understand wet t-shirt contests until my junior year of high school (age 16 or 17, I'm not sure). I started private school that year. We could leave campus for lunch, but I didn't have a car and couldn't drive, so I was basically rotated between the friend groups in the junior class (there were around 30 people in the entirety of the junior class) as an intentionally planned way to get to know people which was far, far removed from the bullying I was used to in public school.
Anyway, I went with a trio of girls I had gone with once before and for some reason they started talking about how they thought so-and-so's comment earlier that day about a wet t-shirt contest was awful, and how wet t-shirt contests are dumb. I hadn't heard the comment itself, but I did attempt to try to include myself in the conversation.
"Yeah, it's not even hard to get your shirt totally wet," I said.
After a beat a silence and quizzical looks directed at me, all three started to tell me what the contest was really about.
And so I learned a wet t-shirt contest is not at all about how wet your shirt can get.

@theautisticcoach @autisticadvocacy @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics I can figure out a subway/metro/tube anywhere in no time but I will do whatever it takes not to ride a bus unless it's a two points only A to B shuttle situation.
@ScottSoCal @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics @autisticadvocacy Mental and/or physical stamina to deal with something. I have friends with chronic illnesses who say they don't have spoons when they're in too much pain/too weak to do something, for instance.
How do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades feel about the metro/tube/subway? Are you able to take it? Do you enjoy it? Sensory nightmare?

WHAT?
I was under the impression we sort of entered out summer in spring time of the year. Ya know, when the temps go up, in some instances by a LOT.
Now....rain for the coming week? π²

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.
