Remembering my disappointment as a child when I learned that "hard hat area" meant "no unauthorized entry" and did not mean I was allowed in if I brought my own hard hat

In addition to the blurb above, I'm a recovering mathematician, Jewish, and autistic as fuck--those didn't alliterate
Sometimes I write poems, mostly in English and Spanish
I feel weird putting my age in my bio but I am in fact a Grown Up if you were worried

we once watched somebody demonstrate that if you're a white man and pretend you belong in the right way, you absolutely ARE allowed in if you bring your own hard hat
sadly doesn't work otherwise
