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.

In 2015, I made some masks out of plastic bottles and utensils as well as a few other items gleaned here and there.
OK, in the vein of "weird things I wouldn't normally ask"...
There's been discussion about those of us who don't get accurate signals from our bodies. Does anyone else suppress the need to urinate? If I get the urge to go, but I'm in the middle of something, I just turn it off. Later it'll come back, sometimes critically, but for that time I just no longer feel it. Is this a weird thing that only I do?
Cat5 #Otis: Rapid intensification is becoming more common. GHG emissions from FF burning, deforestation & IDU AG are making the ocean much hotter & hotter oceans make rapid intensification more likely. Otisβs growth was so rapid & intense -some forecasters call it βexplosive intensification.β In 24 hrs, top-end windspeed increased by 115 miles/hr -expected symptom of CC, & thus humanityβs ever-increasing burning of fossil fuels. confirming what we expected. #ClimateCrisis https://heated.world/p/calling-this-climate-change-is-not

I took this photo exactly 20 months ago, on the day russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Despite all pessimistic intel estimates, Ukraine has been fighting for its freedom for 608 days now. Please continue to #StandWithUkraine for as long as it takes for our victory!
@ScottSoCal That's a tough point. We've done it numerous times, and have 2 more that are getting up to that point.
Give them the best life you can, and they'll know it. It's all we can do. And we're still not worthy of dogs...
There's nothing more precious in this world than my sweet puppy signalling to an approaching dog that she really wants to be friends.

That point in your dog's life when you know the end is coming up sooner than you like, and you want to cherish every moment, so you let him steal your chair for a nap and you just sit somewhere else.
This happened to me, too, playing pool, although it was during my drinking days and I am not a reliable witness. I have experienced similar when writing, in more recent years, and, as someone else posted, I call it "flow".
Just got wondering today - have any of you had hyperfocus kick in when it was something you were doing, not something you're watching/reading/studying?
I used to play pool, at an average amateur level, and two games have always stuck in my memory. I *was* the game. I made shots I never could before. Everything was the pool table, and the cue in my hands. Both times it just happened, and I tried to to it on purpose, but that never worked. Just those two games. Autism? Or not?
If you live your life according to your beliefs, you are a person of integrityβ¦
If you force your beliefs on others, you are an asshole.
There are tens of thousands of #ActuallyAutistic humans living in fear right now in both Gaza and Israel.
Different types of fear, to be sure, but fear nonetheless.
As an autistic advocate and activist I teach people, daily, that triggers that dysregulate us may look "small" to an outsider, but that to us it's a much bigger deal.
It saddens me how much of the discourse around Israel-Palestine has totally rejected that there are autistic people actually living out this nightmare.
It hurts me to see so many people absolutely reject the humanity of the other side based on nothing but one's own preference or virtue signaling.
Our autistic comrades are living in a state of extreme dysregulation at the moment in that part of the world. All of whom wish that they can find a moment of peace.
Let's not forget that and let's not silence the voices of our autistic comrades who are Palestinian and Israeli. The ACTUAL events are traumatic enough for anyone, let alone an autistic person. More pain and dysregulation need not be added by people who use their lives as an activity to talk about.

Thanks, Joe!
