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!

Honestly curious what people think: how can parents keep their children safe on the internet?

This is many questions, but the more interesting to me aspects are:

  • as technology exists now, what can a parent do to both provide their child access to the internet while not being negligent to their safety

  • what could technology do or change to make things safer for kids, and also give parents some peace of mind that this is the case?
