Bio

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

created 1st mastodon account: 2022-12-22
found out i was a girl: 2022-12-22
(former was causal to the later)

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!

here's one i couldn't find a couple days ago when i really needed it

anyway thanks for listening, like and subscribe and dont forget to smash the notification bell

reddit asks “how can i convince my wife to let me replace our Roku stick with a HTPC”

go back in time and marry a tgirl, to begin with she wouldn’t have let you buy the Roku and most models include a Thinkpad accessory and by the way you’re running Arch now

"americans have to pay for healthcare" is an offensive simplification of our refined-through-capitalism health system

so, yes, I have to pay over $2,000 USD a month for health care

and i'm responsible for 100% of the first $3,400 of care I receive each calendar year

BUT once I've spent a bit over $50,000 USD on healthcare in a calendar year - the rest is free! 100% free!!

... as long as the for-profit company involved thinks the service is necessary. and that I deserve it. and the claim doesn't get processed incorrectly. and the doctor is in the small group of providers the company is partnered with. and (🧵 1/69)
