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.

A rare photo of my entire family circa 2017. We look like Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. I love these people more than anyone else. β€οΈ
A reminder to my #ActuallyAutistic comrades that despite what people may tell you, YOU DONβT THINK THAT YOUβRE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION.
Youβve been conditioned to be blamed for your feelings and emotions from a very young age.
Youβve been conditioned to think everything is your fault.
This came from your parents, your teachers, classmates, ABA, therapists, doctors, friends, and society.
Now itβs being weaponised against you with comments like βnot everything is about youβ, after YEARS of THEM making everything about YOU
Itβs not on you. You donβt think youβre the center of attention. You just want to live. To feel. To be you.
Donβt let them keep you down.
The other day we were discussing how we respond when people ask how we're doing. This seems to fit in with that discussion.
By the war's end, approximately 900,000 Black Americans had served in various military branches and the Army Nurse Corps. Upon returning home, these Black WWII veterans were eligible for benefits like a free college education under the GI Bill of 1944, but pervasive discrimination hindered their access to these benefits.

The 4 stages of hubs being DIY butch around the house:
1) Start a project that he's never done before and doesn't know how to do.
2) Decide he needs a tool or part to complete the project.
3) Talk me into going to the store with him, so I can "help make sure he gets the right part/tool".
4) When we get back home, hand the part/tool to me, so I can get it done and put everything back together.
Guess who has clean dryer vents, all the way to the outside of the house?

"It's all the same forest," say Korean firefighters battling blazes in Northern Quebec"
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/wildfires-quebec-south-korea-firefighter-1.6921380
The Koreans are shocked to report they have found trees are burning "through the roots" because global warming, CO2 from Carbon fuels holds more heat, continents are drying out, forests becoming KINDLING.
Climate change is carbon fuel. End Carbon By BUILDING SUN AND WIND like tanks and ships for war.

Today I learned that lottery vending machines will NOT take dollar bills from 1957! π Oops!!! π π€£
is being extremely afraid of changing rooms or any other occasion where any kind of nudity happens a trans thing (incl in those whose egg has not cracked yet), or is it something about autism? i wanna know which of my "surprisingly definitive signs before i even knew" lists i should add it to.
they offered me sedation at the dentist's office but the thought of being half out of my head with this creature in the room?! thank you, no
Kyiv Pride draws crowds to streets of Liverpool
Thousands of people attended a Pride event Liverpool hosted on Kyiv's behalf on Saturday. The Ukrainian capital did not host the event due to russia's invasion
Liverpool also hosted the Eurovision song contest on Kyiv's behalf earlier this year, which was also moved due to the war
Thousands march in #Liverpool as city hosts #Kyiv #Pride

"If you don't like the country song, you don't have to listen to it" say the totally reasonable people banning books, shooting Bud Lights and burning Barbie dolls.
Woman being interviewed says women are too emotional and illogical to ever be in charge. Then goes further:
"I think that virtually every societal ill that we are facing today is because of women."
OK, Candice. Sure.

@ahbon @actuallyautistic I think they are times when I'm getting a surge of specific neurochemicals in just the right quantities for me ππ I definitely have moments of exhilaration from performing a task using hyper focus... I get a sort of flow feeling & what I'm doing feels effortless... drumming, racket sports, poetry, tetris, motorcycle riding, flying a light aircraft, crunching lots of data, brainstorming, doing synergy things... I would define that as internally generated "aliveness" because I'm creating that moment.
Then I have the unexpected moments of joy... laughing at something or being with animals when they seek you out & are trusting... or making me laugh... the externally generated "aliveness" that is shared.
@ahbon @actuallyautistic for me kayaking is one of these, as can woodworking, depending on circumstances. Arc welding works also. Kayaking is definitely the best one.
Ben πΎ πΎ
This is Ben during our walk about a week ago. He had been to Miss Millie's (groomer). He always gets a neckerchief when he goes there. Ben will be 14 in March.
This is Lori, our girl beagle. I absolutely adore her. π₯°
When I climb into bed, she runs to me to cuddle. If I pay more attention to someone else, like my wife, Lori will scoff before eliciting a trumpet-like bark. She follows me all over the house, tail wagging.
This dog made me fall in love with #dogs all over again. After years of thinking I was a cat person, she made me see the truth. β₯οΈ
Most of the time when asked βHow are you doing?β I actually tell them, because I forget Iβm supposed to always say, βIβm fineβ even if Iβm not.
You think as an older adult I would have learned by nowβ¦but nope.
