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!

"i never said she stole the money"
will always be my favorite sentence because it can convey 6 different messages, just by emphasizing a different word

(I feel a little bad for NTs who probably don't even have a favorite sentence at all, or maybe it's a really basic one. idk never gonna understand how their brains "work")

ah, excellent, my desktop has decided to do that thing where it boots into dell recovery despite being perfectly fine

yes yes i know i shouldn't have trusted you once you called me "dude"

also I shouldn't have looked up how old that reference was

My best #bigtech memory is probably always going to be girlsplaining an admittedly obscure feature of python. To Guido van Rossum

DON'T WORRY I DUMBED IT DOWN FOR HIM

(btw? super fucking nice, said he had considered that and explained why it wouldn't work - all while literally every other person in the meeting was 👀)

mh (-), i've been intentionally avoiding sharing this so i'm forcing myself

Yesterday was tough. People are going to make fun of me if I come out, everyone hated me already and now they're going to think I'm a creepy guy pretending to be a girl. Even the people who support trans rights are going to be like "yeah for REAL trans people", not creepy gross guys.

having an entire contingent of people who know you think you're repugnant and disgusting is gonna hurt and maybe they're right anyway

First day back at work, found my razor and decided to shave for the first time since cracking and it's way more dysphoric then the unkempt beard.

related tangent: do most cis men own a pink epilator

I was working on a work presentation before christmas (and before cracking). Today I open it back up and the slide I was working on is just the title

"Transition strategy"

there is no reason I didn't use the word "migration" except my subconscious is an asshole and also kinda clever?

the best jokes sort of overload my brain and so my response is to point at the source and say "that. that is funny" while nodding my head.

this generally conveys the exact opposite message as I consist mostly of carbon and sarcasm

🧠: "maybe mix up your followers, girl - you can't just follow every trans person with less than 50 followers you can find"

*Scrolls past great memes, complaints about JavaScript, an #achewood conversation, gorgeous girls from the country of 🏳️‍⚧️, people being really nice to other strangers on the Internet*

🧠: "K nevermind I was wrong and I can admit it"

All you need is trans 🥰

Does your brain pronounce it "rouge-like" or is that just another one of those signs

Relatedly, years ago a friend randomly got a Nissan Rouge as his rental car and after a couple days I was no longer allowed to ride in it.
