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.

A man is sitting next to his newborn baby's cot. From the other room his father comes in and lays a hand on his shoulder.
"You've done really well, mate. You'll make a brilliant dad."
The son looks up and smiles with a bit of anxiety in his voice. "Thanks, Dad. I really hope so."
The old man pulls out a small book from his back pocket and hands it to his son. "Now that you're a parent, I'd like you to have this. I studied it for the first year of your life and memorised every single one. I'd love you to use it for my grandson."
The son looks at the cover which is titled 1000 Dad Jokes To Annoy Your Children. He looks up with tears in his eyes. "Dad...I'm honoured."
His dad smiles: "Hello, Honoured. I'm Dad."
@actuallyautistic I feel like my art is very autistic. Example:
My dear American friends.
We have two spare rooms, and office we can put a bed in and large garden for tents.
Youβre welcome here.
How do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades organize their libraries?
@ScottSoCal hubs? I'm not familiar with the term
+1 to riding the carts though! π
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.

Fastnet #Lighthouse - Known as the teardrop of #Ireland apparently because it was the last thing seen by immigrants leaving by boat. Prints here: https://mark-tisdale.pixels.com/featured/fastnet-rock-irish-lighthouse-mark-tisdale.html?product=art-print

@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
