hi I’m Ginny! #introduction

I spent my first decades as a generic white boy in tech, then a year ago I signed up for my first mastodon account and discovered I am a girl!

I post about tech, trans life, post selfies, and openly talk about mental illness and pain (cw'ed)

I’m a single parent w/ a 9 yo daughter, working as a software engineer in Seattle. I also write fiction (ya and speculative) and am generally very dorky.

btw you can be a girl if you want to be, inquire within!

#trans #tech

two mastodon posts by me, ginny! first post: "gonna make my own damn search engine and if your website plays a fucking video in the lower right corner *you can't be in it*" (191 boosts, 579 favorites) second post: "*all trans folks have PTSD!* my brother in christ, most of us haven't gotten to the POST part of that initialism" (91 boosts, 294 favorites)
three social media posts by me, ginny! first post: " “you don't HAVE to go back to tech!” that's a good note, good note. i will keep that in mind, as i go back to the only thing anyone has ever paid me or valued me for" (14 boosts, 66 favorites) second post: "unpopular opinion: algorithms were never the problem. the corporations are. lauding things for a lack of algorithms, rather than a lack of capitalism, is just an echo of corporate PR. if there was no “algorithm”, everything would be equivalently shitty, in novel ways" (62 boosts, 130 favorites) third post: "the most intelligent people i know will instantly and often gleefully admit they don’t know something (maybe if you push they’ll give a hypothesis loaded with caveats) in stark contrast we have “artificial intelligence”" (20 boosts, 76 favorites)
two social media posts by me, ginny! first post: "didnt love the sequel but hoping this brings back the charm and quirky nostalgia of the original" with a picture attached of a movie poster called "NEW FOLDER(3)" "from the creator of "NEW FOLDER" and "NEW FOLDER(2)"" (23 boosts, 51 favorites) second post: "amab: allegedly male at birth" (69 boosts, 174 favorites)
two social media posts by me, ginny! first post: a meme i made where it's drew carey from whose line is it anyway. he is saying "Welcome to women's clothing, where sizes are made up and the numbers don't matter" (67 boosts, 140 favorites) second post: "My first ever mastodon post turned out to be the most important thing I've ever written." The attached post says "I'm a guy who always thought and assumed he was cis. i've always been drawn to the feminine and wished i was a gril, but i'm not sure that means I AM a girl or how to figure that out. I haven't shared that with anyone, so I'm using this outlet for now."

I keep thinking about how Amphotis marginata beetles trick ants into feeding them along the foraging trail... and after being tricked... the ants get angry. They attack the beetles who just flatten themselves and wait out the temper tantrum.

Tricking ants just isn't nice.

Uber lies about everything, especially money. Oh, and labour. Especially labour. And geometry. Especially geometry! But *especially* especially money. They *constantly* lie about money.

The Toronto skyline, seen from the harbour by night. The sky is stained bloody red. A forked lightning bolt strikes the CN Tower. Looming over the city, rising out of the water, is WC Fields as a carny barker, waving his hat and shouting. He stands behind a rough wooden podium bearing the Uber logo.

Super cute #indiegame for 2/29 by npckc: npckc.itch.io/229

I put a reminder on my calendar for 2/29/2028 to play it again. Doing so raised a lot of questions for me: will the game still be there? Will npckc make a different 2/29 game for 2028? Will I still have this calendaring system in four years? Will the world and my life be in a state where I feel able to take 10 minutes for a little game? *incoherent mumbles about climate change and politics*

Anyway, the game's good. 😹
