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.

@WideAperture my (adult) daughter says they look like they are about to politely but firmly ask me for my lunch money. π
My dad always taught me that it's the people you touch and who touch you that matter in this world. But yes officer, he should have mentioned he didn't mean it literally, I know that now.
"Swedish Authorities Charge Greta Thunberg With the Crime of Disobeying Cops"
We ALL should be disobeying cops and risking arrest. That's the only option remaining to inspire real change.

Bluesky is over. The British terfs are there, and they are coordinating.
This does not mean I'll be posting more here, just a heads up to let people know what to expect when they get there. There is no safe space anywhere.
Talking with my Husband Randy this morning:
Randy: Today is national kiss day
Randy: I wish I had a beret.
Me: Because only people with berets kiss?
Randy: I will be your Antonio.
Me: He's Spanish and I don't think he is known for berets and the Spanish and the French aren't the only ones who kiss.
Randy: Still
Me: Brush your teeth.
Itβs happened. Our department has lost a young faculty member to a better offer in a safer state.
Texasβs extremist government will end up wrecking the universities here. Given a choice, people donβt want to subject themselves to fascism.
How come those rocks are so neatly sliced? Any rock expert here has a guess?
I saw them (and many more) in a dry river bed in the hills, northern #Italy.
It would be a shame if someone posted the article that apparently GQ pulled shortly after publication about David Zaslav.
Even worse if it were an easy to save single image and could be re-shared.

Have any of you ever had an MRI? I hadn't, until last night, and I was in it about 20 seconds before I squeezed the panic button and told them this had to stop. I've never been that close to a complete panic breakdown before.
The restraint for my head also restrained my chest, making me feel like I couldn't breathe. The tube is small - inches away from my eyes. And it's LOUD, even with the earplugs.
I have a new definition of hell.
@nellie_m afaik, technically the terms have distinct meanings - link: https://embrace-autism.com/autism-and-camouflaging/
Camouflaging is the overall "process of changing or concealing oneβs natural personality in order to... be percieved as neurotypical"
Masking is one of three subtypes, and is about hiding autistic traits by activley monitoring e.g. body language, whereas Compensation would be tactics to account for difficulties in social situations (such as scripting) and Assimilation is about "putting on an act"
@ScottSoCal I'm sorry, sir, but the Top Gov has banned all satirical images of his Majesty, especially anything depicting him during his Saturday Pride Cosplay Drag Brunch for Kids. You'll have to register for the privilege to cover Mr. Pudding Fingers, and your Masadon account will be suspended until your loyalty to Meatball Ron is no longer in question. π
HR: Well?
Me: it was a surprisingly good slingshot
HR:
Me: I didnβt know the eraser would hit him in the eye
HR:
Me: can I have my bra back?
Freak...
If you come upon a post with a hopeful and positive message about the world or our future, why don't you take a moment to consider these things before you post a negative comment about why people should be afraid and anxious:
What is my motivation? Why do I want to add negativity to this post?
Am I assuming people don't already understand the information I'm adding? Most people are well aware of the issues facing the world, having hope doesn't mean they are hiding their head in the sand, good things exist along with the bad.
Would this be better as a post sent from my own account?
Do I have any helpful solutions people can actually engage in, that they aren't already, or am I just being a Doomsayer?
I know it's scary out there right now, and it's easy to lean towards the negative. People without hope and joy have nothing to fight for. That doesn't mean they don't care, but no one should spend all their time in the darkness, we need light to thrive.
@ScottSoCal We are in the process of switching from the magic 8 ball standard to casting runes. The magic 8 ball was too woke.

Hey #StarTrek fans, in case you haven't seen this yet, there's a petition to get them to make a new series, #StarTrekLegacy - hopefully starring the wonderful @JeriLRyan as #CaptainSeven π
I've signed π
Cheers!
The FCC is accepting applications for new, low-power, community radio stations the first week of November.
This is huge, you guys, this window rarely opens (the last time was 2013), and as you know, KUZU shows one way LPFM can be a foundation to build valuable community information resources.
The Grassroots Radio folks are holding a conference in West Virginia to help folks out with this.
Please boost and share.
