Bio

i post for attention and affection (it's a youngest child thing): memes, tech rambles, newly acquired domain names, and short irreverent nonsense i think is funny. ymmv.

seattle based. single parent. self-unemployed after >20 years in big tech

created 1st mastodon account: 2022-12-22
found out i was a girl: 2022-12-22
(former was causal to the latter)

i don’t use ai in my writing because it capitalizes words, and also because writing is the fun part for me (you do you!)

ask me about my banger domain names!

When I was cishet, flirting made zero sense to me. I was never able to understand it or how to do it.

Now a stereotypical het flirt is basically "get a guy to talk about himself" ~ that's straightforward. and easy.

💕 (still not good at it but at least i know what's happening some of the times)💕

a cis white dude is explaining his "objective" ML system to evaluate books for fiction publishers

my brain flooded with joy juice when I realized "tech boy" is not my demographic anymore and I don't have to feel second hand embarrassment for dudes anymore

y'all do you ill be over here with my good choices and a quad shot espresso :blobfoxbox:

Tried to get some helpful advice on coming out to my 8 year old and all the Reddit search found was post after post from shitty cis parents unhappy their kid is awesome and that their kids don't have to go through 30 years of misery before figuring out who they were

getting self respect sucks you gotta realize how much people shit on you and I already thought people treated me bad

all people are awful and gross why do i even want them in my life

why isn't this warning in the incredibly long handout that came with my estradiol

Wooohoo!!! A while back a magazine interviewed me for a profile story, and it was published today!!!!!!

I'm still early so it's not the cutest picture of me and I know it's silly and a bit of a brag!
but let a girl be excited 😊 :blobhajhugbig:

i returned a bunch of clothes that didn't fit, and my cashier was a nice trans woman!

I didn't have to pretend they were for someone else AND we both got to complain about womens' sizing being entirely arbitrary :Gaysper_Trans:

my favorite thing to play on the Steam Deck is "Downloads" (it's a built in game). so satisfying to update the apps and see them all disappear. and they keep adding tons of new content :sparkles_trans:

This creature was ignoring every human who walked by until me. It tuttled over and put its face right against the cage glass. And stared.

... first time I get clocked and it's by a lizard (literal)

my whole life I've wondered how everyone knew to hate me right away

i don't even need to say anything so i think i just have something offensive about me that's immediately obvious. at least subconsciously

i hate it and I'm sick of it and I just wish I was dead
