Here's to all the kids who were born with non-default settings; to all you who put the effort in to figure yourselves out.

@alice (I suspect the secret here is that "default settings" was always a myth)

[davep@infosec.exchange]

@alice I like that turn of phrase

@alice@lgbtqia.space Hannah would have loved to be told beforehand... Would have made stuff easier... ​​

@alice
To feel that this toot is for me is the nicest and at the same time, it hurts.
Thanks, Alice, I'm glad that you're here too. Those words are a beautiful thing to say to someone.

@alice Glad you’re here too!

[mo@mastodon.ml]

@davidtheeviloverlord you know, you can just copy it. Ctrl+C, and voila, you have your very own phrase

@golgaloth @alice

[garyseven@mastodon.social]

@alice I do not know you, but I appreciate this post and all you do. I wish you all the happiness you can handle.

[aly@mastodon.nz]

@alice Maybe this is the year I figure it out?

[z_4narchist@beamship.mpaq.org]

@alice awh shucks, thanks

[mrgrumpymonkey@mastodon.social]

@alice What's the default setting in this context?

[eden@lgbtqia.space]

@alice If only I had figured out I could do my own mods a lot sooner

@mrgrumpymonkey the ones society is designed to most easily accommodate.

Mostly cishet white male.

[haikyoneko@famichiki.jp]

@alice @mrgrumpymonkey who speak English as a 1st language.

[mrgrumpymonkey@mastodon.social]

@Haikyoneko @alice That's the only language I speak.

[haikyoneko@famichiki.jp]

@mrgrumpymonkey @alice

Then congrats! If you're also stright and white, you're almost at the top of the tree.

If you are rich and/or from the correct family, then you are the top.

[mrgrumpymonkey@mastodon.social]

@Haikyoneko @alice I sure ain't rich.

@alice Custom builds... application-specific humans... no manpage...

[kkarhan@infosec.space]

@alice This is the best take for the week, and it barely started.
