Yeah, my mother is autistic too, and she was a teacher

You must be doing something right, then

The next step is to give zero fucks (can be tricky, easier if you have supportive friends)

I’m doing long term training on specialist engineering stuff … to be honest, getting to teach the same stuff to different people really helps keep things fresh (at least for me)

If trashy lesbian romance counts as classic literature, then yes this is me at the moment - I have to by up for 4.30am every day :-/

Ooh, good question!

Favourite band: The Prodigy

Favourite song: Out of Space

Least favourite: Spitfire

I love their first three albums in their entirety, but then Spitfire came out and to me it felt low-effort and low energy …

Then they took a break, and came back with the album Invaders Must Die and it felt right again.

After Keith’s death, however, their music has regressed. Which is understandable, and a pity :-(

Thank you for giving me a genuine laugh this morning

Mass Effect, which has romance options in the story with *spoilers* aliens

So, this demonic cult sounds really cool … is there like an Enby level membership I can subscribe to?

Without knowing more, this sounds like a group of terfs managed to bully a trans woman, and the ruling supported it.

The headline appears to be Daily Mail style angling to make it look as though defending minorities is a bad thing.

So, all-in-all, pretty much a typical British institutional response to LGBT people :-/

You have permission to be really really gay, yes

Yeah, I got mine in a thrift store … makes sense.

I would like a Trek t-shirt, but being outside the US I’m sure it’s even more difficult to find one :-/

Oh lordy … I’m in torment, my other half is such a bottom and loves to be bossed around in everyday life. But she isn’t kinky at all. Like zero :-/

The only sci-fi T-shirt I have is covered in Storm Troopers … maybe I should think about upgrading (both me and my other half are Trek fans)

Revel Alliance feels better than “Star Wars” TBH, especially after the absolute jewel that was Andor.

Sorry to hear that, I hope you find your way to a better place!

Never mind, Tarragona is better anyway :-P

Just touched down back in my home country for a week for lunar new year … gonna make the most of it once jet lag wears off.

The year of the horse will be my year!

My brother is a car guy. He’s also an ardent cyclist and is more environmentally conscious than the vast majority of westerners.

Sometimes people are more than just one thing, and if a car spends 99.9% of it’s time in the garage in bits it’s not a major factor in pollution or traffic problems.

This is a fucking travesty.

Would be interesting to have the cliff notes of what the policy actually was
