GenX US midwestern AuDHD trans lesbian Python dev in Quantum Computing. Lefty nonevangelical ✝︎

Just trying to get by, skating on good vibes. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

If you know me in real life, please don’t out me.

Signal: @QuantumDev.01

ChatGPT ward: Jonathan Zittrain
Pinned
Introduction 🧵

I’m an old Midwestern white trans lesbian. I write software for a quantum computing startup. I have multiple overlapping flavors of neurodivergence.

I was raised by television in the 80s, so I’m nostalgic for pop culture of that era.

I take too much at face value.

I reached the point where I’m doing food experiments.

Cream and sugar in my coffee? No thank you. Trying out butter and salt this morning.

what does vanilla Ensure taste like with a touch of “breakfast syrup”?

what happens if I butter my hard boiled egg?

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on this car.

You know, when I see a car like this, the first thing i do is i say “would you look at this,” you know what i mean?

OH, would you LOOK at this.

I’m starting to get worried. I have $90 left after extending my stay here for the next three nights.
I’m a disabled person and have to find housing imminently without any income or savings and now I have no SNAP. If you’re fortunate enough to have some spare dollars I would appreciate it so much if you could send me a donation just to keep my head afloat. My links are in bio. ❤️
They cut off my SNAP.

given that this basically includes ~all~ scientists in the US, this will halt all scientific progress for America

the us govt invests in my company’s research, as does Australia and the UK. i guess those two will get their quantum computers, and the US gets nothing

nice, solid plan
“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”
U.S. Congress considers sweeping ban on Chinese collaborations
Researchers speak out against proposal that would bar funding for U.S. scientists working with Chinese partners or training Chinese students

@editrixbecks.bsky.social informs me of the documentary “The World According to Allee Willis”, whose partner Prudence Fenton DID Playhouse

much as I wish I had a tiny Susan Kare in my pocket to direct all my computer aesthetic choices, I should like a tiny pocket Fenton for my physical life choices
is there a name for the “Pee-wee’s Playhouse set” aesthetic?

“memphis meets mondo exotica meets googie kitsch?” i need SO MUCH more of it in my life

my wife is playing clarinet in a community symphony that does video game music

she’s struggling with this really complicated repetitive part, but said that it might be okay if she flubs it, sometimes the picks are esoteric and people might not be familiar with it

it’s the moon theme from ducktails

the first 95 hours in the hospital were quite pleasant, but we are more well into hour 97

if i EVER find myself in a position where i’m the one calling instructions for the cha-cha slide, i think i would include both this and other nonsense phrases

- slide to the top
- now swing your legs!
- one punch this time!
- two times this time!
- flank steaks! flank steaks!
- now walter white!
my favorite part of the cha cha slide is when he goes "everybody plap your friends" and then it turns into an orgy

oh, yeah. coming out was a BLAST. sure do wish i could experience THAT over and over again

nothing better than inviting scrutiny from both strangers and loved ones who have opinions, and who wonder if you’ve Really Thought This Through

nah, mate, heard about trans yesterday, thought i’d try it out
Julian also doesn't believe in plural people, they're just excitable queers getting high off coming out again
