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!

the custom emoji situation here is grim
(my autism superpower : I say what I actually mean and i'm not disappointed when i win)
don't feel crappy about something that makes you happy
sometimes i forget emotions aren't little logic puzzles to solve
remembering how when my (now ex)wife was pregnant, I told everyone at work I was hoping for a girl because "there's already too many boys in the house" (one, sssorrrrta)
transfem self-defense
I visibly carry a bright pink pepper spray and a kubaton everywhere I go.
so far people comment on it in one of three ways:
people who don't fear for their safety: "wow that's paranoid who would assault an old ugly man in a dress?"
people who do fear for their safety: "carrying it like that and the bright color is smart! at least he'll know what he's in for, right?"
people who make others fear for their safety: "do you even know how to use that little girl?"
a problem with activitypub federation (what mastodon is built on) is that it was built for sharing between centralized systems. it doesn't federate or decentralize identity or content (as anyone who has had to migrate servers knows)
the equivalent of moving house requires changing your address, name, and abandoning all your possessions. there isn't any mail forwarding available but they'll put a little note on the mailbox.

woodchuck ,,... place
ohyah! *timberborn*
(every time i launch it, eventually)
finally a dating site for people like us!
almost got into a discussion about politics and why i won't vote for biden.
but as self care I replied to the man
"I vote based on vibes"
drugs
either im very hot to methheads or there's a bit of a meth problem in seattle
both those options aren't great
i love it when guys talk skirty to me
"do you work in tech? you look like a product manager"
*unmatches*
what more could these beavers possibly demand of me
no maple pastries? oh how awful
switched back to the less "missing child poster" version of my profile pic
i think this about "guys" into Rust, too
gonna play some beavertown which is my pet name for timberborn
(i tried some ck3 yesterday but was instantly overwhelmed so I'm gonna direct beavers around that's kind what my braingrapes can handle today)
it is immediately obvious when i hit the fringe of what medical science cares about because they stop speaking Latin and trying to sound fancy.
my heart beats slightly too fast without causing significant issues? that's "supraventricular tachycardia" because it's important work and "heart beat too fast" sounds silly
im literally exhausted and unable to function during the day due to misfiring chemical receptors during sleep? idk "excessive daytime sleepiness" who cares
hostile ux
id like to kick every "Maybe Later" button in the cunt
lots of cis people are confused seeing someone mid-transition but it's like... we're not born passing that's kinda the whole thing
