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.

WHAT?
I was under the impression we sort of entered out summer in spring time of the year. Ya know, when the temps go up, in some instances by a LOT.
Now....rain for the coming week? π²

#Introduction
One of the occupational hazards of being an urban planner is that youβre constantly being critical of the built environment around you.
While out and about, all I think about is access management plans, lack of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, crappy or non-existent transit facilities, single-use buildings in multi-use zones, disappointment in the lack of residential density, Americansβ distaste for residential density, unchecked code violations in wealthy neighborhoods, low quality building materials, huge parking lots, impervious surfaces and flood plains, crappy landscaping, HOAs and restrictive covenants, unsafe routes to school, lack of healthy food options, poor parks and other green spaces, NIMBYs, and on and on.
Sometimes I wish I wouldβve gone into something a little more micro, like landscaping or plumbing.
What is the past tense of gatekeeping? Is it gatekept? It cannot be gatekeeped. I refuse to accept that.

Normally, I spend a fair amount of time making Sunday dinner. Which may or may not be eaten by the rest of the family who has been laying around like sloths with tape worms all day... So, today I just ate a bunch of snacks and will not be cooking dinner. Ball is in your court, family. Gonna go binge something on Netflix.
Nearly everyone in german was a Nazi at that time!
I'm glad that I hadn't to wear this shitty brown Uniform of Hitlerjugend.
I saw this Uniform in real life when on vacation to Chicago. There was a propaganda booth of the NSDAP-AO in downtown Chicago.
It happened I stumbled and ruined their table...
Booty and Butt mean the same thing.
Dial and Call can mean basically the same thing.
Butt Dial and Booty Call definitely do not mean the same thing.
This is super cool!

If this is the year you finally started to pay attention, well, then you arenβt really talking about the history of fascism, but about the history of when it finally started bothering you enough that you could no longer ignore it.
And youβre probably white, too.
Like, it was in 2012 that Golden Dawn in Greece got 7% of the vote, well before they entered the European Parliament in 2019.
Fascism got Trump elected, in 2016, and, if you werenβt so busy calling those of us who were warning you well before that βalarmistβ, that might have gone differently.
Fascism killed Heather Heyer in Charslottesville, in 2017.

Our Western narrative around the defeat of fascism is incomplete at best, and actively misleading at its worst. It is a myth we tell ourselves, a history written by victors who themselves were no better. They just happened to be on the side that won.
Look up General Patton. Look up Winston Churchill. Look up the histories of the people who were freed from the camps, and then put right back in.
If your history of fascism puts its current resurgence in 2023, youβre either being ignorant, or dishonest.
I have receipts that go back way further than that, and itβs not just me. The alarm has been sounding for ages now.

I just saw a toot that talked about βwhen they write the history of the rise of fascism in 2023β, and while this isnβt about that specific person, and thus not a subtoot, I feel obligated to obliterate that statement.
Firstly, because βriseβ is a misnomer. It is part of the lie we tell ourselves. Fascism never went away, it just sort of faded into the background as the jackbooted thugs shed their uniforms, and merged back into society.
Secondly, if we are talking about anything that could perhaps be called a βresurgenceβ, and you have been paying attention, you know that this has been going on for years.
Decades.

From the days when History channel was still doing the job of educating, the series Life After People is now on YouTube. A wealth of information on how fragile our infrastructure is, along with how resilient nature can be.
