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!

"you're a nerd and I love you" feels a lot different than "you're a nerd but I love you"
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 )
i participated in social work discussions at my progressive workplace for 17 years without a single issue
it took 13 days being out as a trans woman for a guy to complain to my manager
yeah well I'm gonna go build my own theme park! with therapists and HRT..,,
do I want to be part of a polycule or just want a group chat with people who think I'm tolerable?
cis men
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:
9 y.o.'s review of hot chocolate: pretty good, buut I like water better
breakfast is the third most important meal of the day
the fediverse is a social media network for people who have terrible parents
how is it my fault I misunderstood what you meant when you said you were a doggirl and also does this mean you do not want the collar I got you
today's a "mixing up my scanner and my shredder" kinda day
:windOwOs:
i shouldn’t register whowho.meme
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)
mh (-), sui
the subtle but notable difference between *wanting to kill myself* and *wanting to be dead*
Advent of Code, but the puzzles you solve are bug fixes for open source projects
exactly like first puberty, at some point I'm gonna need to figure out how bras work
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)
lb was how I realized I make a bad game play tester I think he said “i didn’t think anyone would do that” at least twice
