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!

my transfem therapist's facial expression: "girl, what the fuck are you even talking about right now"

(later I clarified these rules of course only apply to me; it would be transphobic to not accept anyone who sincerely believes they are trans as being trans. the facial expression became bewildered in addition to the frustrated confusion)

I remember cross dressing literally* in the closet, looking at myself in the mirror and thinking “I wish I could look that pretty”

being an egg is a hell of a ride

    • “literally” here is meant both literally and gen z literally (ie, metaphorically)

the sharkey web app works surprisingly well, even notifications!

the only thing I miss from using a native app coming for mastodon is the ability to AI-generate alt text (as a starting point), which is one of the very few AI functionalities I think is a good thing
