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 therapist seemed concerned my self care plan was “being pretty” until I clarified “anyone can be pretty, just do pretty things and you are by definition being pretty. When I say ‘I get to be pretty’ it’s a verb. It does make me hot but that isn’t the point … per se”.

my cousin shared a story about me growing up where she and my sister couldn’t find any of their Barbie dolls. Eventually she found I had disassembled them all and organized their parts into individual shoe boxes. She calmly asked why to check if I was a serial killer and I immediately broke down crying and said something like “if I can’t have the right body nobody should” :v_trans:

There was this frantically curious part of me that wasn’t letting me focus during a therapy session, so my therapist says she “let’s be really gentle with her” and I was like “oh yeah we all respect her she’s the only reason we’re not homeless, we just let her loose on shit and sometimes ppl are like ‘you’re really smart ginny how did you know all that’ and the answer is she literally cannot stop thinking.”

I've been feeling very outcast and unwanted the past few days. I'm trying to work through it and stay somewhat positive, but no matter what I try eventually I get stuck back thinking I could disappear forever and not a single person would notice let alone care.

I know a lot of that feeling is trauma, but it's also true.

idk I'll just keep trying to convince myself I'm cool and pretty and that there has to be at least one who i can trick into thinking so too
