Parent | Wife | PhD | Oregonian | Trans | Computer Scientist | Systems | Early 40s. TL a mess of tech, science, politics, defense, humor, trans stuff, and games. I’m awkward AF. she/her. Posts not endorsed or representative of my employer(s).
I think he might find out this meme isn’t actually a joke reaaaaall quick here. Also not a bot. Bots are more convincing at human behaviors than I am.
Work is dumb, here’s a sorta side profile pic from driving the other day I actually liked. I used to wince at my nose and now like it as one of my more distinct features.
And she’s on her way back home. Truly a magical visit and miss her already.
I think I’m starting to grasp why people get distracted by my sleeve. Everyone from metalheads to preschool moms. All positive comments, at least? I’m guess it is sorta dramatic? I’m thrilled with it and can’t wait to continue it (and the other side) but uh…. Yeah it’s a lot.
Wife took a candid photo of me zoning after another day of helping my brother in law move out (why I’ve been so quiet) and…. I just get to look like this? I know it’s a bit of a trope but I still get a little thrill when I see myself and see _her_ and not the slowly fading miserable “man” I was.
Blocked quotes and replies. Classy. So I’ve worked on AI pipelines (eg optimization of vector DB access and RAG graphs) and have found narrow positive use cases of GenAI theft of training data + reproduction + displacement of creatives is deeply unethical. These aren’t mutually exclusive.
Felt kinda cute earlier. Later was a dysphoric mess and cried about it, but hey, take the wins I can get.
Well at least it’s a comically cozy PNW sorta day to be all weepy and insecure?
Started at 39 here, I’m 42 now. Your periodic “it’s never too late” reminder.
"Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?"
2 years HRT today! Not a perfect timeline but hey, shows the progress.
And 2 and a half years later, here I am. Largely due to casual visibility of other trans people showing it can be done.
Back on my DIY nonsense. Next comes lighting, surfaces, and wall mount storage.
Bought with my own money? Garbage: version 2.0 Also early teen me had a huge crush on Shirley Manson
