On this day, in 2016, the UK voted in the #EUReferendum to leave the European Union.

Things have never been the same since. As a committed #European, the result broke my heart. I will never “get over it”, nor will I “move on.” The compelling case to rejoin is clear. We need politicians to be honest and admit this. NOW.

Given the threat that President Zelensky is referring to in the previous toot, these 2 Senators are alarmed enough to introduce a resolution: Lindsey Graham and Sen Blumenthal introduced a bipartisan resolution declaring russia's use of nuclear weapons or destruction of the occupied Zaporizhia Nuclear Powerplant in Ukraine to be an attack on NATO requiring the invocation of NATO Article 5

Paramount has cancelled Star Trek: Prodigy and will shop the second season to another network.

Prodigy was a fantastic show with fun characters that could have brought Star Trek to a new audience. Cancelling the show was a dumb move designed to cut short-term costs at the expense of long-term growth.

Excited to watch #ThePerfectFind this weekend! Trying to get my girls together for some wine, popcorn, and a show!

I love moss and I love frogs and I just discovered the cutest thing in existence: the Vietnamese moss frog 🤗

First was Titanic. Next was Titan. So I guess if the pattern follows, don’t get on any vessels named Tit.

Narrator: He would never be President.

We’re about three days away from finding out that Kavanaugh can be bought for a six-pack and two Nationals tickets.

Barrett hasn’t accepted any gifted travel because “vacations are a sin.”

Everything reminds me of him 💔

Blame the Supreme Court for America’s Decade of Voter Disenfranchisement

This is what gutting the Voting Rights Act looks like.

I wash my hands with green apple soap before taking a sip of my sour apple energy drink. Matt Damon shoves a piece of paper against the window. Yells "HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?" I tell him I like them fine. He seems content. Once again Matt Damon has been placated. Our children will see another sunrise.

Happy birthday to the 19" equipment rack, which turns 100 next month. From the July, 1923, Bell Systems Technical Journal: "All panels are to be of a uniform length, designed to mount on vertical supports spaced 19>< inches between centers. The height of the different panels will vary, according to the amount of apparatus in each unit, but this vertical dimension is in all cases to be a whole multiple of 1-3/4 inches."(p139 at https://archive.org/details/bstj2-3-112/page/n27/mode/2up )

Sorry but have no time with relatives of the Titan’s crew calling for an investigation into the lack of certification.

The submersible operates in international waters and all were adults. They were thrill seekers and got caught out.

Just an unfortunate waste of money searching for them. The company knew there was a hope but wasn’t up front with authorities

A relationship is like a thorny rose. No, more like a fence. Yes, like an electrified fence. No, more like a barbed wire fence. Which is also electrified. Patrolled by Rottweilers which haven’t eaten in a week. And killer robots.
NO WAIT: KILLER ROBOT ROTTWEILERS!

Anyway, a relationship is like that.

Thankfully the whole shebang, if left alone, should evaporate eventually.

I'm becoming very uncomfortable with my clothes. I hate to wear most of my old clothes, which are predominantly masc. I really want more femme ones, preferably androgynous.

(Yes, my parents used to choose and buy my clothes, but I really need to find a new style, also because of gender... My clothes lasted many years, but it's time to get new ones that I want to choose myself.)

So I need to divide the problem into two problems.

1. Finding a new style (see next toot)
2. Getting new (or, perhaps even better, second-hand) clothes

Advice is appreciated for each of these steps :)

Being #actuallyAutistic doesn't make either of these steps easy. Regarding step 2:

- Visiting stores causes very high anxiety before entering. If I manage to enter, I get severely overstimulated by the many ads, people, and garments. I twice tried to visit the local free-shop, but I just was too anxious 😐
- Trying new clothes is very stressful
- Some sensory issues (see next toot)
- Online shopping is also stressful and complicated since I don't have (and really don't want to have) a credit card; I only pay via IBAN
- Getting used to new clothes or even an entirely new style is also difficult; I usually only make small changes
