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!

exclude boosts

coming out at work was the only decision I regret. i think it made a big difference in my ability to identify as myself, but it was a stupid risk i should have avoided for probably ever

what’s your latency between someone flirting with you and you knowing someone is flirting with you?

my median is ~3 days but there’s a hell of a long tail

( if you’re in real time, DNI )

cis men
Toggle visibility

getting lectured at by cis folks is always a fun time, i get my own lil private class, "how minorities should act to be accepted by the people who hate and oppress them"

it's soooooo cute when cis men think their opinion matters :blobfoxsignbigfan:

my “take your estrogen” reminder deadnames me because it comes from a gmail account i made years ago, to catfish people

(i pretended to be a boy and people bought it, cis people are gullible lol)

fedi / masto feature idea: lists, but useful

they work in the exact opposite way of how a list currently works in mastodon/most fedi software. instead of controlling what I see, it controls what subset of my followers sees my post.

here’s how i imagine it for me picking some random stuff:

  • one line jokes
  • bad puns
  • transgender rage
  • verbose nonsense 🔓
  • linux 🔓
  • selfies 🔒
  • personal angst 🔒

a default follow pre-selects the first three lists. the unlocked lists aren’t default selections but, like an unlocked account don’t require approval to join. the locked lists you can request and require approval

when I post, i pick one or more categories for the post. people on that list, see the post.

ideally different lists could be rendered or decorated differently when shown

(could this be useful for plural folks? especially if you can make posts to the different “lists” look notably different to the reader)

looking for guests for my podcast , no special hardware necessary because I don't record it or talk to you,,. we just think about the same thing for a while, independently, then go on with our lives
