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.

3/3 The bendy tree in full Summer leaf
My 75 year old mother in law recommended watching #Wednesday on Netflix...I respect the opinions of this retired RE and history teacher and yet again her son and I were not disappointed! It was a brilliantly acted series - both the young and more established members of the cast were spot on in getting the #AddamsFamily vibe. It also felt very 90βs...which makes me feel old, but happy!
Feeling inadequate because everyone on Mastodon appears to be a professor or a doctor or a rocket scientist?
Follow me and feel better about yourself, for I have the intellect of a clever potato.
Parents need to pay attention to that gaming-Twitch-Alpha male podcast/incel-Holocaust denier-far right pipeline.
I'm not kidding.
Because that's where the radicalization of young boys happening.
@ScottSoCal unfortunately, when you look back you see a lot of subtle transphobia (and also just shaming on appearances, especially weight) in the books? Like Rita Skeeter was always described as looking masculine and having βmannish handsβ for example. Her characterization of lycanthropy in her words as an HIV allegory too, especially as Lupin was the exception to werewolves who generally side with Voldemort, and Fenrir who βconvertsβ children. π¬
Happy Birthday to this meeb on #MonDog ! (Okay, yesterday, but close enough.) Sheβs eight years old now, but the vet tech thought I meant eight months because sheβs so excitable. π₯°πΎ
Does anyone else use the term βmeebβ or did my husband and I make it up? It means an animal thatβs cute and goofy. Sheβs being very meeby in this picture.
Julian Khater, the man who assaulted United States Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick with pepper spray on January 6, 2021, was just sentenced to 80 months β nearly 7 years β behind bars. Officer Sicknick died the following day. Sicknick's mother, Gladys, told the insurrectionist, "You attacked my son like he was an animal. You are the animal, Mr. Khater. How does it feel to be headed to jail because of a bald-faced lie?"
If #trans people are telling you to not buy Hogwarts Legacy or Harry Potter products, and you do regardless, to me it reads as you prioritize your own comfort and nostalgia over the very real danger that trans people are facing now, danger that is propagated by JKR and other TERFs. #LGBT #HogwartsLegacy #HarryPotter
About the book Iβm reading at present:
βHow do sandhoppers inherit an inbuilt compass from their parents? How do crabs understand the tides? How can the death of one winkle guarantee the lives of its companions? What does a prawn know?
In βLife Between the Tidesβ Adam Nicolson explores the natural wonders of the shoreline. This is an invitation to the water, where marvellous things wait an inch below the surface.β
These are my nearest rock pools. The fascinating shoreline.

The photo in @NewYorker is dramatic and powerful but this, more prosaically, is what I actually look like. π
RT @SyriaCivilDef
Catastrophe in #Syria amidst already catastrophic conditions. The Syrian people are at their limit. Hundreds of dead/injured, hundreds still trapped under rubble, suffocating & in need of help. Response teams are spread thin. We need international community to take urgent action.
Just having a conversation about banned books. I have mixed feelings about Flannery OConnor. Mostly negative. I appreciate her story craft, but yikes. Racist TBH, even for that time. And then i have to put βeven for that timeβ in there. I mean β¦ But I *wouldnβt ban her books. Iβm glad I got to read her stories and form my own opinion. #books

Made a cute new chickadee chai tea art print this week! Feels good to use traditional art supplies again.
About to post a thought, it disappears from our mind before we get the chance.
Our forgotten spark of brilliance, just floating around out there in the ether, eventually being sensed by someone else who claims it as their own.
All we can hope for is that they do it justice.
Sierra Nevada mountains from Round Valley near Bishop, California. Enjoy, Joseph. https://buff.ly/3RJ4TNy

It's still Monday??
βHa. Ha. Ha. Yes. The Mondays. That is good humor, coworker,β I say, readjusting the human flesh across my facial construct.
