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!

gonna insert ads into conversations I have with customer support

then at some point I'll stop talking mid-sentence and request they take a survey rating their experience on a Likert scale

....idk, something about cookie preferences too?

the worst - nay, the shittiest - part of enshittification is it doesn’t matter if it works. there is no negative cost to making a product worse in an attempt to make more money, and “opportunity cost” to spend time on re-unshittification will keep things shitty even when it doesn’t drive XX% YoY growth

companies also don’t want to let customers “win” in pushing back against shitification, because that could make us think our opinion matter

pirate everything

growing up my dad would occasionally show up for his assigned parenting time. sometimes he’d take us fishing

you sit around, nobody expects you to talk and sometimes if you do they tell you to shut up… the only bad part about fishing, is the fish

growing up with no parental involvement, I learned how to fix problems by myself. this one was easy. I think I figured it out the second time we went.

just rig the bait up so it falls off instantly, and you will never catch a fish. you can just sit around while the boys do their thing, without a worry in the world

tonight is my first night having progesterone and it's hard for me to put my head down to sleep!

it's like I'm waiting for Christmas morning to come, so I can run downstairs to the tree and check out my new C cup breasts. a present from the Progesterfairy left with love while I slept

:chaserexcited:

wait what do you mean it takes more than one night?! even if i put it in my butt?

dating app notification Matt liked you!

“ugh I just need to disable my account I can’t even with people named “Matt””

taps the notification; “Matt” is wearing a skirt

“clearly I’ve been too hasty, and have learned an important lesson today”

there are those people who are marginalized, and because of that choose to help and hold close even those more marginalized or below them.

then there are people who are marginalized, and will use everything in their power to find someone else to marginalize and treat at less human than society sees them

one way I can identify the second group: if someone below them speaks up - even politely - the response is violent and rooted in overwhelming retaliation

the former group usually have piccrew avatars and often meow on main
