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.

Hey all! This is #Transgender Awareness Week! Some of my dearest friends and family are transgender. Not everyone is made binary male/female, and it would be pretty boring if it was.
Sometimes the original equipment doesn't match the brain. I think that would be hard in a world where people like easy answers. Remember to be kind. π
The Marvels is delightful, you should absolutely go see it.
More seriously: do not let this one bomb, folks. This is a Marvel feature with three female headliners, two of them women of color, directed by a woman of color, written by three women. If this does poorly (or even not spectacularly enough), it will be taken as evidence that women shouldn't feature prominently in blockbusters.
Let's prove them wrong.
(And also everybody is fucking glorious in this, it's just super fun.)
Why Is #America #Afraid of #BlackHistory?
No one should fear a #history that asks a #country to live up to its highest #ideals.

The former guy refers to the January 6 defendants as βhostagesβ and βpolitical prisoners.β We must never forget this: They are people who physically assaulted police officers while trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power. They are no heroes. They are convicted felons.
Some of you may know I was a political strategist as recently as the last election cycle. The only message that I have for you is that your vote is needed in 2024.
There are some big voices that think because of earlier this week, that the left is assured a win and that is far from the truth.
Please vote, inspire others to vote and do the work to win voters. Nothing bad comes from that approach!
@neversosimple @actuallyautistic For sleep, control the light reaching your face. Because this signals the body to wake up and go to sleep, Put on blue blocking sunglasses at sundown, put Sunsetters on all your devices so they go to red light. Sleep in a completely dark bedroom or a sleep mask. I got amazing results in weeks, simply by following his sleep advice.
Don't let the GOP Putin apologists fool you--we must support Ukraine's fight for democracy or America will be at war with Russia. #Putin #Russia #Ukraine #GOP #GOPTraitors

Thanks for the input, everyone who did. My brain already decided I'm going to write a letter. It's partially composed, now, but I'll wait till I get home to type it in.
I always re-write 400 times, anyway, till it says exactly what I want it to say.
Looking for recommendations: what do you do when you get stuck figuring out what emotion(s) you're feeling?
My mother died a few days ago. Our relationship was toxic, and we haven't spoken for years. I know I'm feeling something, from the tense crackling inside, but I don't know what it is.
Would Fediverse admins like a presentation by Babka folks on antisemitism on the Fediverse, specifically what mainstream Jews/Jewish organizations consider hate speech and why?
If you're an instance admin or a moderator and you'd be interested, I'd like to hear from you. If there's enough interest, I'll put together a signup, but this is just a feeler for now.
If you're interested, please reply or DM me, thanks!
If you're not an admin, please boost or let your admin know about this! Thanks!
So my mother died. Not unexpected, because she was in her 80s, but not expected because we haven't spoken for about 10 years. I feel like I'm balancing on a point, ready to fall off, but I don't know which way I'm going to fall. How do I feel about this? Truly, deeply, have absolutely no idea.
Alexithymia is real, right now.
Listen to JoJo for she speaks great wisdom:
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
The road to the Handmaidβs Tale world is lined with smiling people telling you to stop overreacting.
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!
