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!

bought a helium hard drive to crack open and make my voice sound funny
"what's the coolest thing about you?" idk i own some pretty rad domain names.... wanna see my porkbun account? 😚
*thinks she's killing it*
nerdy inside kid tries to convince her daughter to go outside through half-truths and blatant lies
all i get is a *drizzle* of olive oil? cmon
i used to hide stuff in heavily nested folders with boring names like "Taxes" or "Sports and Leisure" but now I'm just honest and let the chips fall where they may
today is my 1 year HRT anniversary so i wrote an essay, basically 😆
let me clarify; i AM weird and this might be an instantiation of that weird
"how many paragraphs of explanation do you have left until things start making *more* sense instead of less?"
one little hour and now my body refuses to allow any reasonable decisions about the time we fall asleep
huh, interesting...
for me, flirting with cis women is still really awkward. none of these girls have known shit about tiling window managers and most of my flirting is linux-based
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.
