Repple (she/her)
If you’re ever here and want to see pueo, go to Waimea towards Mauna Kea in the late afternoon/early evening. They are usually very active in the fields then. That is not a touristy area, so be sure to pull off the road (sticking to paved roads in your rental car) and not inconvenience locals
I adore pueo. I have spent hours in Waimea (the one on the big island) watching them hunt. Truly superb owls
Now that it’s clear that Harris’s really well run campaign underperformed Hillary Clinton, can we finally end the myth that some failing of her campaign strategy or “likability” was the primary reason for her loss rather than sexism and Comey’s shenanigans? It really seems like a very large number of men just won’t vote for a woman in the US.
The universe is balanced on the back of a giant koala! Why is he smiling? What does he know??
Series pitch: t’lyn (in her absolute unhinged way) figures out how to make the shield polarity orthogonal to previous states, rendering them completely impervious to known powers, who, threatened by this, hatch a plot to infiltrate the federation and steal the technology by becoming member states. The federation’s rootbeer-like insidiousness eventually makes them give up their plot, but they still get the tech anyway because cooperation
Mostly I want to hear starfleet engineers start saying that they’re orthogonalizing the polarity, because I find that I hilariously ridiculous concept.
Hoping with zero evidence that the end of lower decks is just because they’re getting promoted out of the lower decks and the characters will all return in a new show: “The Next Next Generation” (or maybe “Upper Decks”)
Most of what I’m seeing here sounds too confrontational or passive aggressive to me. What I would do personally is wait until he asks you if everything is okay again and then say something like this:
“Yeah, all good here. So you know, I’m not quiet because something is wrong in my life or between us, I’m just very introverted and my natural state of being is not to open up”
Most people tend to assume other people’s internal state is works similarly to their own, unless it’s an aspect where they know they are far removed from the norm, so for an extrovert, they equate you being quiet to what would cause them to be quiet. Without telling him the reason you act differently, he will continue to assume this.
By wording it as an FYI, you give the opportunity for him to understand the difference and change his behavior without telling him he has been doing something wrong, because best as he knows he hasn’t been, and so you hopefully prevent him from getting defensive.
If he continues, then maybe you can go to a more confrontational approach. That’s how I would handle, at least.
I am also a woman and I’m guessing you are not from your username, so ymmv with communication like this.
From that article:
This quotation is often incorrectly attributed to Francis M. Wilhoit:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.[10]
However, it was actually a 2018 blog response by 59-year-old Ohio composer Frank Wilhoit, years after Francis Wilhoit’s death.[11]
