I'm a queer, poly trans woman who loves coffee, talking too much, and puns so bad that friends worry about my mental health!

Post content will be random, but will range from gender, to data rants, to jokes about product managers (for example, I am one).
Hi! trying to get back into Bluesky – I miss folks! 2025 has been a wild ride in so many ways...

Product Managers as mercenaries vs missionaries is so last decade.

I want Product Manager paladins.

Younger Me, boy: You're eating box mac & cheese and Sour Patch Kids for dinner... aren't you supposed to be an adult?

Now Me, girl: ...seriously? The question you ask?

Younger Me, boy: Answer the question, Hunley.

Hey, all I'm saying is that you only *know* the data is bad if you look at it.

If you don't look at it, then BOOM, problems are gone!

Are you connected with anyone involved with green/sustainable technologies (broadly defined) in the Atlanta area?

I'm hoping to learn about what's going on in the city!

If you unironically post AI-generated "thought content" on LinkedIn because you think that makes you an Influencer... I'm just saying that I wouldn't be sad if you received a small electric shock.

I am fantastically thankful for the people in my life who are willing to be "weird".

Everyone is weird. But there's something special about someone letting it show.

Yes, yes, everything sucks. But have you seen this sleepy baby angel? She's the SLEEPIEST baby angel. LOOK AT THAT EAR, FRIENDS.

"Are you worried that you'll be cringe?"

...this question implies that there was a moment in my life when I *wasn't* cringe, and quite frankly, I find that insulting.

It's weird how imperfect and/or weird writing is becoming a sign that an actual human wrote something?

Like – "Hm, the flow of this memo is somewhat meandering and repeats itself in a couple places... and that word is definitely used incorrectly... WOW! A person took time to write this? How sweet!"

Reading notes from my last doctor's appointment, and the notes all refer to me with feminine identifiers.

Which feels great! Don't get me wrong!

But... the imposter syndrome is real... I keep thinking, "You guys are taking me *seriously*? Are you sure you wanna do that? Because personally..."

just for the record, I have a zero-tolerance policy towards transphobia and if I see it in my mentions it's an instant block.

I started reading a book.

And 30 pages in, I was like, "Wow. I am not enjoying this writing style or story. I will stop reading it rather than hate-read the next 370 pages."

Is this character development?

I'm very fortunate that coming out has (so far) been (mostly) a super positive experience for me.

But y'all.

This shit is exhausting.

I feel like I need PTO to go stare at a wall.

What if we just... don't save daylight this year? It should save itself. If it can't do that, maybe it's time for daylight to move on.

Exciting News! I'm out at my company, AND I was able to change my email address/Teams ID to my new name ON THE SAME DAY!

...which led to even more excitement in the form of having to explain, mid email conversation, why they were suddenly receiving responses from a different Hunley.

This website underscores the gravity of what’s at stake in the US. This isn’t just a fun political game that one team is “winning”.

One team is actively complicit in thousands of deaths — *right now*
Since January 24, 15,650 people have died because of Trump’s freeze on PEPFAR funding. 1,505 of the dead are infants. #HIV #AIDS #PEPFAR #health #childhealth #healthequity

Just got this passed on to us, about the damage at NIH's home campus -- the largest biomedical research institute in the world.

"The articles on cuts and damage assessments are largely grants focused. The grants program is a bit easier to characterize because it’s visible outside the NIH..." 🧪

Last year, I finally came out to my family as nonbinary.

Soon, almost exactly a year later, I will be coming out as a trans woman.

At this point, I'm wondering if I should just schedule an Annual Notice of Changes for myself...

Dear Outlook,

If I click to open an attached Excel file.

I never.

Under any circumstances.

Want to view that file in Outlook.

Sincerely,
Stop It
