Ukrainian Wives Of Fallen Soldiers Come Together For Support Online - (2 Minute) YouTube๐ฝ๏ธ
Women who have lost their partners in battle against russian invaders say the word "widow" is too painful to accept. Coming together in a Facebook group, they offer the mutual support and understanding they say can only come from someone going through the same kind of grief.

@ScottSoCal I've heard about those places. I love how they have to work round Noah and the flood and dinosaurs.
I had originally intended to use the pun for the Notional Health Service, but that struck a bit close to home!
I frequently have to remind my friends in Silicon Valley, that the military is not "more right wing" than Silicon Valley. The military is more inclusive.
There are way more Black employees in the military than in Silicon Valley. Military demographics look closer to real US society, but with Black people being *over* represented.
If you're standing in a room of 100 VCs in Atherton, vs a room of 100 active duty marines in Camp Pendleton, there are more Trump voters in the Atherton room. ๐๐
@ScottSoCal
I agree. It just seems so awfully desperate. ๐ข
Went to an exhibition and was astonished to see a display where primitive man was interacting with dinosaurs.
Then I realised Iโd gone to the Notional History Museum by mistake.
Have to say I'm encouraged how even after Republicans cheering on a year of Putin's systematic raping and pillaging, most Americans still recognize evil.
This is my viewing setup, by the way.
One monitor to watch, one to toot, one for any research needed, and an extra in case things get really heavy.
Brand new instance, brand new #Introduction! Iโm the author of the Galactic Cold War series of #scifi spy novels, the most recent of which is THE NOVA INCIDENT. (https://dmoren.com/writing/galactic-cold-war/)
Iโm also a #technology journalist: I write regularly at Six Colors (https://sixcolors.com) and have a weekly column at Macworld.
And I also do a ton of #podcasts on technology and pop culture, including @rebound, @clockwise, and several shows at @incomparable.
@ScottSoCal @dabertime That's probably for the best. If you did you might be responsible for changing the future, and that never turns out well.
Annoying birds 4. About to prune this bush to stop it poking me in the eye when I get into my truck and found myself eyeball to eyeball with this. Very small, I think a Zebra dove. Sitting on the flimsiest nest imaginable. I tried to get it to agree a deal: I leave it alone if it stops using my truck as a toilet. A very nice page on them here https://rcannon992.com/2013/12/25/zebra-doves-an-appreciation/

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.
