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.

@yourautisticlife given the rejection sensitivity from my childhood, I feel similarly about the "just do it" idea. The traumatic experiences that have been cemented in and being told "just apply for a job "knowing about the guaranteed failure or "just go out and be social to make friends" when I keep freezing up.
I would, like you, actually like to see such people who claim "just do it" experience what it's like for one month when issues arise and are dismissed.

I can make arguments for each of these characters as being coded autistic
* Jack (30 Rock)
* Hiccup (How to Train a Dragon)
* Leon AND Matildè (The Professional)
* Matthew Murdock (Daredevil)
* Napoleon Dynamite
@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics I've seen so many cases of #3!
Mine was an odd journey. I spent my whole life feeling like a weirdo, and having people assume it was just because I was "gifted" -- or innumerable other less complementary assumptions about my personality. Then, when I was 26, I saw a TV special on Daniel Tammet. I was captivated because I saw so much of myself on the screen, which had never happened for me before. And they mentioned Asperger's. First thing I did was hit Wikipedia. And by the end of the day, I had a word for what I am. 13 years later, I finally got a formal diagnosis.
Most people have probably already forgotten that several months ago, the Biden admin stopped a nationwide rail strike (over sick days) that might have screwed the economy. This made unions and union supporters very unhappy, and few believed the President when he said heβd get them their sick days. But with the help of Bernie Sanders, he has done it. They got the RR workers what they needed AND avoided a crippling strike. This is a big win for everyone that will probably go unnoticed. http://www.ibew.org/media-center/Articles/23Daily/2306/230620_IBEWandPaid
The following film has "adult situations"? So, they're gonna, like, get acid reflux and try to set up direct deposit?
The Kennedy Space Center was a really great visit. And, the play zone there serves Elysian"s Space Dust. I like that beer. I'll share a pic later. Photo won't upload.
Thank you to the 81M voters who elected Joe Biden president in 2020. Itβs hard to overstate how much more precarious this moment would be if Trump was still in office, kowtowing to Putin and condemning Ukraine and Zelensky.
Both Rosa Parks and Claudette Colvin were βrebellious,β the white and black establishment BOTH looked down on them, and neither was the first Black person to refuse to give up their seat for a white passenger in Montgomery. The fight for equality and injustice was long and difficult and it was a collective struggle, not an individual one.

The Child Tax Credit resulted in the largest poverty reduction in US history. We should reinstate it.

Of course Putin will use nukes if he thinks he can get away with it - he's a psychopath. That's why he must know he can't get away with it, and same for any people who push the button on Putin's behalf.
An American general described how the US would respond in a nonnuclear way if Putin nukes Ukraine. Essentially, the US would sink all Russian surface ships and do all kinds of damage that would reduce Russia's military capability rather drastically.

Christopher Latham Sholes received a patent for an invention he called the "Type-Writer" #OTD in 1868.
This was the first typewriter to be a commercial success (about 5000 were made), the first to use the QWERTY keyboard layout invented by Sholes, and the first to be called a typewriter; the term was coined by Sholes. via @Wikipedia
