DeSantisโ presidential campaign may be short-lived as popularity nosedives: columnist - Raw Story - Celebrating 19 Years of Independent Journalism https://www.rawstory.com/desantis-2660495386/
Florida MAGA Gov Desantis is signing HB 7 to "ban teachers from making students feel guilt or shame about their race because of historical events."
I've said this before.
Some white Americans were abolitionists, and many were enslavers. If learning about America's history of racism makes you feel guilty, then you need to explain why you associate more with enslaver guilt than with abolitionist pride.
Might just be that you're telling on yourself.
What do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades do when they wake up already having a bad day?
@ScottSoCal @Dingsextrem @AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic I have definitely gotten something similar to this for being an atheist! And bisexual. And chronically ill. ๐ตโ๐ซ It still sounds impossibly ignorant and weird.

@AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic "i am a man!" - "Oh, you don't seem like a man, you come across well"
"I'm an academic" - "You don't seem like an academic, you come across well"
"I'm a good cook!" - "You don't seem like a good cook, you come across well"

I owe you all the deepest and sincerest apology. It has been brought to my attention that my facts are enabling fascism and destroying democracy. I am especially sorry for the harmful facts stating that:
-Every month is National Potato Month.
-George W. Bush has a Foo Fighters tattoo on his back.
-Optimus Prime is the only heterosexual Transformer.
-The Lord of the Rings was filmed in New York City.
-Cherโs full name is Chernobyl.
I pray that you can all find it in your hearts to forgive me.
Did any of my #ActuallyAutistic comrades grow up misunderstood, bullied, and rejected in an insular religious community?
Iโve been there. Many of us here have been too. Youโre not alone.

A used VW is not for people with no extra energy to spare. Stereotypical run-around at the dealership.
It's a 2022 VW ID.4 EV, with app connectivity. An app I can't use when the car says the original buyer still owns it. VW can't - won't - help. They suggested I contact the original buyer and ask nicely if she'll unregister the car. I'm guessing it's a repo, and I don't want to do that.
[sigh] I guess I'm taking it to the dealer for them to work out.

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.
