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!

My 8 year old read this post over my shoulder, and it has become the defining fact to her about being transgender.

(to avoid confusing her I don't bring up that she's named after a character from a John Green novel)

My ex keeps giving me "helpful" advice on things to change or hide about myself to get dates

and it's like... last time I did that I ended up married to someone who hated everything about me... so no thanks I'd much rather be alone

and anyway my type of people don't immediately dismiss awesome art "because it has a dragon"

they'd think it's rad and then we'd make out under smaug's penetrating gaze

I'm gonna name my six blahaj after my favorite queer people that live inside my phone (if they don't mind)

Worried and excited this path leads me to owning 250 blahaj~~~

:blobhaj_hug_full:

it's time for my annual "inclusive workspace" training at work~

this same week they added "men ONLY"/"women ONLY" signs outside the single occupancy (and previously gender-neutral) bathrooms

but make ME take the class, sure

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)
