I'm a writer, photographer, and nerd, though not necessarily in that order.
I'm also an AvGeek, enjoy tabletop games, and have spent way, way too many years in the legal field.

Hello BlueSky! (And thank you for doing this!)
I'm a writer, photographer, and nerd, but not necessarily in that order. I have the best of my photos now up for sale via SmugMug, and I've even broken them out into categories, like Aviation, Nature, Beach and Ocean, and such.
I hope you enjoy :-)

Sadly, I know all too well how easily I can pull this off…

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

Hopefully it won't come to chair throwing BUT I always request an extra chair at my convention table, in case someone is being bothered or is having anxiety for whatever reason.
You are ALWAYS welcome to come sit at my table, my husband and I will watch out for you and call security if needed.

I have said this a number of times before, but at risk of being irritating: What we did with “AI” is take every single cultural institutional bias in our language and bake it into the foundation of future tech. There is not, and can never be, an unbiased version of a large language model.

Folks who aren’t in the space world won’t understand but let me say this—the magnitude of damage this administration has done to NASA and science research has set us back decades. It will take many many generations to get us back to where we were before Trump. And that’s assuming it’s funded

which political views? which ones specifically
Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.

"Again?" said the dog.
"They are fond of endings and beginnings. Even if nothing changes."
The dog whined.
"Same procedure as last year?" said the cat.
"Please."
The cat lay on the dog's head and purred, muffling the fireworks.

Yeah I saw someone say the left needs to get better at viral politics and you can’t really start to approach the concept without acknowledging how race works here and the very deliberate choice to run away from any association with Black people online, like…

This is called resource consolidation, and if you're not familiar with the concept you should look it up and see what it immediately precedes
"What a year for the ultra wealthy. The world’s 500 richest people added a record $2.2 trillion to their collective fortunes in 2025’s… booming markets, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. And about a quarter of this year’s gains went to just eight billionaires.” — Bloomberg Morning Brief

Women having their own earning power is the best thing for advancement of all societies, was something I learned in a socioanthro course.
It's ASTONISHING how much that uplifts...everything.
And shocking how much 'traditionalists' (aka misogynists) are against it because of their power loss.

Socially censuring antisocial views is good, actually. If someone supports an authoritarian police state, there should be a social cost.
That is a perfectly good way to push back on antisocial beliefs and behaviors. And supporting violent authoritarianism is very much that!
