mh, age, ageism 

i've spent so much time obsessed with computers, and at the end of the day, software and engineering are such toxic environments to try to make a living in.

also, i'm in my mid 40s, and i'm a fat trans woman with a spotty employment history and chronic mental and physical illnesses. don't know where that leaves me.

feel like i would have been better off as a person studying something like sociology, but i feel too poor and broken to start all over. having a rough couple of days.

Well we're celebrating Mother's day.

Some folks don't have good birth mothers or never knew them, so here's a reminder you don't have to feel bad.

I hope all of you have a good day!

Saturday morning PSA!

If you're testing a script, consider using the Unlisted status setting for your test toots; that way, they won't go out into the public timeline, but your followers can still see it.

You can also use the Direct status setting. If you send a Direct toot with no other users mentioned, it's private only to your account, so no one else can see it.

Once your script is ready for prime time, you can set it back to Public so the world can see the fruits of your labor!
