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

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
