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.

Want one? Come and get them! Multiple colors available ππΌπ
Electricians here installing a place to plug in my EV for charging at home, and the internet shuts down. They were all nervous until I'd done some checking. The fiber optic is down, so unless they got into a whole different box than the power (they didn't), it's not them.
Honestly Iβm only on Mastodon because it seems like irc circa 1997 in here.
I just read that Tina Turner died. What an amazing person. She was the same age as my mom. I just saw mom last night, but I kind of want to go to her house and give her another hug tonight.
Re-upping my #Introduction post since I just migrated to hoosier.social!
I'm Kit!
I work in political advocacy - I'm a strategist and lobbyist for the ACLU of Indiana.
I'm currently leading the fight against anti-LGBTQ censorship, and to protect trans youth in #Indiana from a record breaking number of attack bills ... so I am #tired.
I'm also a folksinger and a songwriter.
She/hers pronouns please!

It's been one year since the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in #Uvalde. The people of that town are still seeking justice.
From the archives: A town's tragedy awakens memories of a history of civil rights #activism in the southwest #Texas town in @gusbova's investigation.

@Npars01 @ScottSoCal @jwcph @MugsysRapSheet @SrRochardBunson @AbandonedAmerica Late-stage capitalism becomes like the last hour of a game of Monopoly, with one person cackling and collecting rents while everyone else screams in important fury until finally some hero (usually a young person) just overturns the board and scatters the pieces.
Or it's exactly as FDR said: it's not enough for everyone to get a Square (ie, fair) Deal, as his uncle Teddy wanted. At some point one person has all the good cards, and it's time to reshuffle the deck and have a New Deal to allow everyone to start from scratch.
That's what revolutions are.
@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics I don't t know. -Coffee.
And If the brainfog doesn't disappear.... another coffee. Then I ask myself what the hell I dreamt last night.
Often, when I wake up in a weird mood, it was a weird dream, which caused that.
Happens that I dream very realistic stories. Then I have to bring order to that chaos. What's real and what is dream fiction.... - it's complicated. I need more coffee...
What is the relationship of my #ActuallyAutistic comrades and their favorite objects? What is it?
Mine is a beard trimmer that I bought in 2007 which finally gave way to its destiny yesterday. I realized that its life and journey often reflected my own.
I wrote about the experience and my thoughts on my blog.

How can #ActuallyAutistic people transform grief & pain to empowerment & fulfillment?
White supremacist caught at the White House.
Assault with a dangerous weapon
Reckless operation of a motor vehicle
The threat to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm on a President, Vice President, or family
Many of you, even here, take issue when I call these people domestic terrorists
Missing the forest for the trees and getting upset over semantics
Let me make myself clear. White supremacists are domestic terrorists
If you see it otherwise then youβre part of the problem
@ScottSoCal @jwcph @MugsysRapSheet @SrRochardBunson
More likely they'll have estates quietly crumbling into ruins
All over Europe & the UK, hikers come across abandoned castles and huge homes, built at great expense off the rents from feudal-era tenant farmers. Crumbling heaps
@AbandonedAmerica photographs similar edifices in America
These McMansions are kept up because they're a wasteful extravagance, even for them. A money pit
That's what's wrong with the hoarding of wealth, it stagnates
Happening right now: Ivan is in my lap, purring. Iβve been petting him greedily because I needed the physical connection. He looked up at me and I told him over and over again how much I love him β₯οΈ
Cool History: The Public Universal Friend
In 1776, after a rough illness, a 24-year-old in Rhode Island claimed to have died. They said they were then resurrected genderless. They abandoned their birth name and pronouns, becoming, the Public Universal Friend.
Becoming a Quaker preacher, The Public Universal Friend gathered a large following and was quite influential. They opposed slavery, empowered unmarried women, welcomed black people, and encouraged peace with the Iroquois. They even founded a settlement called The Gore.
There were numerous attempts to arrest the Friend for blasphemy, but they all failed. In one incident, the women of the house drove off the invading men, tearing their clothes, and in another, the Friend escaped skillfully on horseback.
Pretty rad, all in all.

Port Side Of The Pt Reyes
The Pt Reyes has been one of my favorite photographic subjects ever since I discovered her washed up on the shore of Tomales Bay many years ago. I don't know her history but she has been sitting here dacaying for years.
That process was hastened by a photographer just recently when he set the stern on fire and burnt the back of the boat almost completely.
