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!

if someone new at work says their favorite programming language is rust, is it okay to ask them if they also have a blahaj

this is a serious and time sensitive question :blobhaj_thedoctor:

sometimes it's tough being *sure* i'm Actually Trans

thank you for snapping me out of it, walking straight into a wall because i was distracted thinking about taking a cute boy's last name

I post too much negative shit so here's something positive again !

One of the coolest things about being trans is you get to sincerely compliment people's names. :bigblobhajhug:

{ hi lunas I would have been one of you if a friend hadn't named their stupid baby that. and who even knows what gender that baby really is }

sure wish technology companies put five fucking minutes into making their products safe for trans folk

hey we're a small market segment, that's the neat thing so even if we're murdered it should have a negligible impact to their KPIs

hard to be sure on a name for myself without having heard what it sounds like moaned in the thralls of ecstasy~

(this is a significant way picking a chosen name is different from naming a child)

i had my annual physical with my old doc and i was figuring out when would be a good time to explain some things about my gender. i didn't want to lose him as my doctor because finding good pcp is impossible

"hey so a couple years ago your testosterone levels were a little low i think we should check those again"

~FUNNY YOU MENTION IT DOC~

My work health insurance covers trans hair removal. It seems mostly honesty based so I was wondering why every guy doesn't "pretend to be trans" so they can get rid of their gross body hair. :hatched_trans_egg:

(took 3 weeks to figure that little puzzle out, which IS a dramatic improvement from 30 years... but still pretty slow tbh :Gaysper_Trans: )

i have my first work trip in a while ~ anyone know if there's anything for a cute girl to do in the bay area or is it pretty conservative

at least my laptop is ready for the trip...
i mean it could stand to be a little gayer, sure, but can't we all

who wants top bunk!

also what should our summer camp be named, I'd kinda been thinking about it as "Celeste basecamp" but has a pretty active vibe for a bunch of sleepy girls :blobfoxcofe_w_: :Fire_BlackTrans:

some ppl at work had played doki doki literature club so i explained my screaming and running away, which is fine and plays into my brand

but now they want to be friends on steam and uhhhh they know me as the literal embodiment of "generic straight cis white male software engineer" oops
