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.

If i ever miss a letter in a text I just add it to the next line, so it looks like the letter fell down and it wasnt my fault
#OnThisDay, 28 May 1944, Sonia Butt parachutes into occupied France as an explosives expert for the British Special Operations Executive. She had turned 20 two weeks earlier.
She trained the maquis and coordinated sabotage operations. She was never captured.
I belong to a group chat with a bunch of my terminally online friends back in the States. This week, I mentioned the term "Pig Butchering," a type of con based on SMS messages and got crickets back.
So in this week's newsletter, I wrote about the scam and the scammers (often trafficking victims) behind it. It's worth noting, if you have family 55+ they are the primary target for the scammers.

I wanted to participate in #SilentSunday, but everyone knows I donβt know when to shut up.

I totally agree. I've had several grocery store employees tell me that they hate the darn things, that people have been let go because of them.
How do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades feel about queuing?

@ScottSoCal I called an electrician even though my DIY self knew I could do it. Wasnβt too costly and if something goes wrong I have some else to blame.
I'm mounting an EV charger in the garage. I had it marked, measured, leveled, the drill in hand and ready to go through the wall. Just before I pulled the trigger I mentally went through everything one last time.
Oh, wait. Yeah. That spot, just above the plug the electrician installed? That's where the main electrical panel for the house sits. Yeah, drilling through the wall there may not be the best path for continued health. Time for Plan B.
Please tell people about this, it really helps me out!

I don't know if this is a trauma thing, or an autism thing, but as I've gotten older (and it's harder to pretend) tears are a lot closer to the surface than they used to be. Sad tears, happy tears, overwhelmed tears. They just pop up, out of nowhere, and I'm left with red eyes and a runny nose.

If Mastodon had a party in real life and you were there, which person would you be?
I am the one trying to get the board games going.
