After a lifetime of being misunderstood and gaslit, being in intentional #ActuallyAutistic spaces is a life changing thing. If youโre a late identified autistic adult and want to connect, learn, and affirm with others in a space that you can unmask and BE YOU, consider joining my new group starting next week.

Good morning, friends! ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ
It's Cinco De Mayo, it's been eight years since a significant lifechanging and lifesaving event, for me anyway. But that's oversharing. We all have or will have things go wrong with our bodies, particularly when we get older. I prefer to keep those things private, in fact I feel I've said too much already. The reason I keep them private especially from family and friends, is because there is no reason to have something like that weighing on their minds. Why Start worrying them over something that they have no control over? For me the only problem is my wife, it's she who I lean on. At times like that she needs someone to lean on, besides me.
"Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.โ - Corrie Ten Boom

Never fear - they got there - a net loss of 1,055 seats - with 4 councils yet to declare
Well done, #toriesOut !!
What we're seeing from the Atlantic, NYT, etc. is not journalism or reporting but active information and cultural warfare against trans people, and it is genocidal in intent.
They don't care about facts, evidence, studies, findings, or even the well being of trans children and adults.
They're determined to do away with us and any remaining support we might have in society at large. This is them putting their thumb on the political scale.
#RishiSunak: "It's still early, we've just had a quarter of the results in. But what I am going to carry on doing is delivering on the people's priorities... <some bullshit about the economy we fucked up, the NHS we fucked up and blaming asylem seekers> That's what people want us to do. That's what I'm going to keep hard at doing"
Nah mate. What the people want you to do is fuck off and take your party with. Then you can do whatever you want that keeps you hard.
If you're a #trans person in the #Cleveland area (Cuyahoga County) and you need help filing for a legal name change, feel free to DM me. I just went through the process without a lawyer and it took only 4 days and I did not have to publish the change in the newspaper. I'd be glad to help!
Feel free to boost this for reach!
Words that will always make me smile,
"A bad night for the Tories".
Never forget who they are and what they've done.

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.
