Hi #MedMastodon! I migrated my account from another instance. I didn't realize all my posts would poof. πΏ
I guess that means it's time for another #Introduction post! My name is Britt (she/they) & I am an MD/PhD student at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. I am finishing my PhD in neuroscience, investigating novel chaperone protein (Hsp90) inhibitors in the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease and trying to prevent dementia.

To the very, very white person late last night...
You are at a taco festival, in downtown Los Angeles, after sundown. I know you asked me your question because I was one of the few other white people there.
Don't yell at me to "speak English" when the answer to your question ("Where are we?") is "La plaza de cultura y artes".
Today's queer indie author review: RD Noland's The Curious Thing About the Apartment Vent:
"There were so many things to enjoy about this story, from the meet-cute of the eavesdropping via air vent, to the fun side characters, to the developing relationship... It was hard to put this one down."

The three muralists were appraising a wall on Alabama Street last week, when one noticed a young person on a skateboard watching them from a distance.
It was 19-year-old Γngel Velazquez, who was skating home when he spotted the trio planning a mural at the Latino Task Force Hub near 19th and Alabama streets.
Agana was there β alongside Anthony Jimenez and their mural mentor, JosuΓ© Rojas. They talked with the young Velazquez and decided to teach him their craft.

I woke up crying this morning due to the loss of my pooch over a month ago. Waking up crying is a unique kind of experience. We were very close. These things just don't go away over night. I hesitated to post this because it's not flowery; but these are tears born from the joy of our time together - which I will always be thankful for. I'm thankful for these tears, because without them my life would not have been as beautiful.
Howdy! Iβm Flint and I was known as the annoying kid who wouldnβt stop talking about #transformers in school. I jokingly refer to myself as a Freelance βWhatever Youβll Pay Me To Doβ but I mainly write social media posts for events and create table albums for sculpture artists chronicling their process.
Iβm a #trans man from West Virginia and in my free time, when Iβm not taking my Transformers figures hiking, Iβm usually annotating and writing my thoughts about sci-fi books.
For those wondering, β²β²how did i do it?":
I boiled 10L of water, added 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate, two cups of coke, and half cup of lemon juice, then stirred well. Waited 3 minutes, put the pan in the solution for 45 minutes, then added a quarter cup of chlorine bleach to the mixture. Then I brushed it with a firm toothbrush and put it back into the liquid for another 25 minutes. I took it out, rinsed it, and it looked exactly the same, so I threw it away, and went and bought a new one.
You know WHERE Abbott can PUT his thoughts & prayers!
ABBOTT DOESN'T GIVE A
FLYING FVCK ABOUT THESE MASSACRES.
IF HE DID CARE, HE WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO STOP THIS.
INSTEAD, HE MAKES IT WORSE BY ENCOURAGING ALL CITIZENS TO BUY GUNS & AR-15 ASSAULT WEAPONS.
HE ONLY SEES DOLLAR SIGNS.
STOP VOTING FOR REPUBLICANS!

There's a lot of good pictures out there that won't get boosted because people are not doing #AltText. There's a lot of folks on Mastodon that do not boost without AltText being present.
So join the challenge of writing a description of your image/video! It helps all sorts of people, and more people will boost your stuff! Thanks!
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.
