ok hi ginny is over here now again :)

thinking about creating a discord server to find queer furries to play webfishing with

For a while I was mentally drafting my work goodbye letter and the most polite draft was this:

“I’ll be back when the billionaire class realizes they can’t replace us with AI no matter how much they juice their internal metrics. It will be more expensive because y’all’s shit will be burning to the ground and I deserve hazard pay for dealing with the toxic garbage you are deluding yourself as progress 😂”

I have now been stared at through an entire meal by a weird man from across the restaurant

our waitress said I looked like I would enjoy the pink mug (correct)

what the the social norms for when it is appropriate to remove an ex’s account from your media server

So many pretty custom emoji again eeeeeee

i forgot how overwhelmed i get with the sharky ui :spinnycat_trans:

also hi!!

Confession: sometimes I read “acab” and struggle against my desire to alphabetically arrange the letters

all are bastards, cops

I shit you not, since transition the hardest part of my job is convincing men to make good choices and the most important skill set is parenting strategies.

Im gonna log off fedi before i keep talking and instead watch an episode of Doctor Who which sounds lots more fun

a problem i have with star wars

girl who gets depressed going a couple weeks without wearing a skirt and yet still ponders if she is truly properly trans (it’s me,, I’m girl who)

I’m funny and cute, a triple threat

Sometimes I scroll through my last week or so of posts to gauge how unhinged I’ve been that week

if being trans is “bad” then why did it make me really hot and sexy

a meme too good not to steal soerry

no this cyclone is not “bomb” why was i lied to it is at best mid

I convinced myself this year I’m incapable and incompetent. I thought I was literally just… permanently broken. Something fundamental about me had stopped functioning. I can’t express in words how complete a failure I felt, and that it was my fault completely for being broken.

This week has been a lot of vindication. My org still hasn’t listened to me whatsoever but have fucked up all other options and are slowly realizing everything I said was fucking right.

It’s a group of men so they won’t ever admit that though and it’ll be my fault for not convincing them.

But hell, men gonna men amirite

For the decade of time I lead software projects (management and/or team lead) my low water mark was 3 women on my team of 6-7 folks. My current org has 3 women on a team of nearly 30. I’ve had staff come to my team, hell to my COMPANY, to work on my teams.

I was not asked or consulted about my replacement I just showed up to at 8:30 am meeting my first day back, that lasted 10 minutes. “there have been some changes”
