Bio

trans girl living in seattle. single parent. self-unemployed after 20 years in big tech.

my main account is @gintoxicating where I post tech inanity, memes and shitpost (open to ~all followers)

this is my smaller alt mostly limited to gender people and other varietals of queer. sometimes a cool cishet slips by, and they should be proud both now and in a few months when they realize they're a girl :hatched_trans_egg:​

I’m taking a very professional and serious survey on how fediverse/mastodon features are used across instances and software!

so my first question: have you ever boosted a post someone else has written?

For statistical accuracy and reach, please boost!!!! :boosts_okgay:

After a bit less than 20 years, today is my last day working for Google.

Even though leaving is something I’m glad to do I’m still bad at change. For the past two decades my job has been the most stable part of my life through, like, everything: fertility and adoption struggles, an abusive marriage, my mom dying, a divorce, COVID, identifying/treating a congenital hormone imbalance[1], being assaulted……

Work gave me a second place that felt stable, where I could duck my head low and dig into something I know how to do really fucking well.

I could solve some other people’s problems, write a design doc with more memes than text, get my report promoted, help a coworker navigate a toxic manager…

Even when my life (and, later, my career) was cooked I could focus on helping and with that came the joy of seeing someone I care about succeed.

Maybe I’ll post some fun stories (right now I’m in a shit mood so “fun” probably would be sarcastic but I’ve worked there long enough that I do have actually fun stories too)

[1] iykyk, pun intended ofc

so one time there was a local Seattle trans girl who seemed as lonely as I was at the time and I offered to hang out and she ghosted me while continuing to post about how she needed any companionship at all

when she left (I think just fedi) she did a call out post about all the stuck up Seattle bitches on fedi and didn’t include me in that either

so anyway I feel bad for her and hope she’s okay and also still dont have anyone to go to the aquarium with

also this is why I assume “anyone wanna” posts do not include me - I’m usually right lol

I’ve tried chattily interacting with someone on a few of her posts but she replies to everyone but me… idk but I don’t know her so whatever

but it immediately takes my brain to having several “friendships” I found out had ended only by observing this same pattern… and that hurts my feelings

self oh, men, fascists

“i could fix him, and even if I can’t I shouldn’t bring up the nazi stuff he’s into”l anyway”

girl we will unpack all that shit eventually but oh my god you dumb bitch (loving)
