i post for attention and affection (youngest child thing): memes, tech rambles, newly acquired domain names, and short irreverent nonsense i think is funny
seattle based. single parent. self-unemployed after 20 years in big tech

found out i was a girl: 2022-12-22
(former was causal to the later)
i donāt use ai in my writing because it capitalizes words, and also because writing is the fun part for me (you do you!)

if I had to desgin an app to be as user hostile as possible, i'd just pop the pink phone out of my lil pocket and open grindr
even taking into consideration that they want $2k a year for it, i'm surprised the domain source.cloud isn't registered
hear me out on this: it's wrong for someone with 2,500 followers to sic their followers on a trans girl with 75
fuck anyone who does this, and fuck y'all who reinforce the power of bullies who strangely only use it to harm trans women when they get a little too uppity
fucking hell
so much transphobia is because people get upset about how to score their sport game ,no i will not go outside
Also my own phones autocomplete insists Iām Gummy smh
idk but like if society valued women why wouldnāt it want more of them
apparently a moderate number of people think ginny is pronounced like āguinea pigā
and my bitch ass thought the ginny/jenny situation was the end of it
If any of yall have D&D characters into being objectified and probably also shamed, the other Ginny is doing a Valentineās Day special and wants to hear about your characters:)

Hereās something funny! Google has a trans employee group called āTrans@Googleā
this year they werenāt allowed to include āGoogleā on the stickers; the artist had to redo all of these to remove the company name (I think they also toned down any Google-color branding)
Idk just a curious rule that I hadnāt encountered in my previous 20 years at the company (while getting and even creating an absurd amount of non-trans specific Google-branded swag) (I have team and Google branded shoes)
his profile: āt only!ā
me: āoh sorry I got rid of mine š„°š³ļøāā§ļøā
my corporate job skill set:
- deep and unnecessary esoteric knowledge of a single companyās artisanal version control system, build infrastructure, continuous integration and release systems
- pretty good for morale my meme game is fire
- I am really good at scaring away project managers by asking āwell what do you mean when you say āprojectāā and then explaining why they are wrong for 30 minutes
- smell way better than any other engineer Iāve met ever
- willing to relocate to another country š¬
- I will provide extemporaneous feedback on unnecessary bureaucracy and poor technical design
- you can shut me up easily with candy or snacks
- I make HR cry
- erratic in an obscure, fun and lovable way; think āmascotā not āunabomberā
chat I am cooked if I decide to go back to tech
