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’ve literally never casually gone by my legal deadname (instead using a very common calling name) so while hearing my old common name bothers me, my legal name always felt like this superficial and unimportant government thing and doesn’t bother me.

went to a new doctor a few days ago and pretended to be a boy really well, but I noticed the doctor narrative is four paragraphs long and doesn’t use any pronouns.

idk if that’s normal or if they picked up on something from me personally or, perhaps, the fact that I take estradiol

OH (coming out of my mouth): “oh my god your hair is amazing how long did that take and also how many men have complimented it and why do i already know the number is zero”

anyway I’m at costco

my favorite part of my doctors appointment was us both complaining about how pharmacies got so capitalismed they can’t even keep candy in stock and that stuff is an uncontrolled substance here in the USA

a guy at work started talking to me about "lowering the hiring bar" for trans folks when I've worked at the company almost 20 years, been a hiring manager, served on a hiring committee, served on promotion committees, argued in promotion committees for my employees, hosted interns, and done well over 300 interviews.

On the other hand he got a job a few years ago, has not had any leadership or hiring experience, and has never been promoted.

i kinda wish this account had the username gintoxicating and i had a personal alt gin which I could technically do except I do not have the emotional preparation to migrate and all that stufffff

anyway i have been thinking about this because i wanted to roll around with some non-existentially-terrifying problem for a bit, see how that felt again (nice, relatively)
