  • I first dated online in 1999, and the first woman I dated I ended up marrying and having two kids with, though we divorced in 2017.

    I still date online these days, and I prefer it. It allows me to know a little about a person before I waste any time chatting them up, and the things I need to know are things they generally put on their profile. Things like their sexuality (since I am non-binary), their political leaning (I’m socialist), their relationship orientation (I’m polyamorous), whether our values match…you know…important shit. And those early conversations before we ever meet in person are low-key enough that I feel more comfortable with them IRL, something that helps me as an autistic person.

    I grew up in Arlington, TX and can confirm this is true. For our field trip every year, we’d go to the Southwest Airlines warehouse and take the tour. And by “tour”, I mean we’d wait 15 minutes outside while our teacher got our wristbands, and we’d go in and look at the Commodore 64. Then we’d leave and eat our sack lunches.

    OH…and the guy didn’t have a mini-bat. It was full size, and any snotty 10-year-old getting his grubby little hands anywhere near ol’ Tandy 400, he’d go “Uh uh uh!” and point at the bat.
