We’re hoping this is just a temporary glitch and will let you know more as soon as we know more.

So tired of the judgmental looks of people when my behaviour isn’t exactly standard or normal, my passing not quite passing muster.

And I don’t even know if they’re actually thinking that, or it’s just years of conditioning and trauma.

Stumbled across @raynayler’s excellent book “The Mountain in the Sea” and thoroughly enjoyed both the stories and the thinking. 10/10 strongly recommend!

@rudetuesday @alicegoldfuss Interestingly, only “ghoulpus” worked for me in Toot!, and none of the options mentioned in Metatext.

If you ever need to profile your #Java application using async-profiler, do yourself the favour and check out this manual by @k_slusar. What a fantastic resource!

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)
It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public.

@felixge Lol yes!

@justinemusk This is the best way yet I’ve heard someone phrase this important point. Thanks!

[Erwin Wessels 🇺🇦 @htwj]

@thatsgrose @ZoeYork_ Very much this. It feels isolating in its own way, insurmountable even.

A reminder to anyone who writes or tweets about space exploration the terms are “crewed, uncrewed and robotic” not manned or unmanned. NASA style guide (and thoughtful writers) do not use gendered terms for space flight. Women have been going to space for 60 years.

@ZoeYork_ Should’ve dropped the beets.

I’m sorry…

[Erwin Wessels 🇺🇦 @htwj]

@ZoeYork_ So happy to hear that; take care of yourself!

@ZoeYork_ European (in Denmark) so no Venmo. PayPal? DM me if you prefer.

Things that a lot of autistic people are tired of hearing. - a thread.

@MarcieDWessels Very nice, thanks for sharing!

(Thread) In the first What If? book, I answered a question about cooking a steak by dropping it from space. At one point, I commented—jokingly!—that if anyone put a steak in a hypersonic wind tunnel to gather better data, I’d love to see the video.

Well, I have good news.

[Erwin Wessels 🇺🇦 @htwj]

@pigletish Yup!
