Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 5hhell, I think trans women should be allowed to be weird and unlikeable without starving, but I can’t even quantify just how far outside the overton window that view is.. 0122
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 5hI hold the extremely radical opinion that trans women should be allowed to be professionally mediocre without starving 1247
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 7hIt’s why I feel more secure as a freelancer, my clients hire me because of my reputation for being extremely good.. but it’s exhausting, and I desperately wish just being “pretty good” wouldn’t mean being disposed of by society… 0150
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 7hI see people joke about transfem engineers all being talented, and there is truth in that, but the reason is that gaining a reputation for hyper-competency is the only form of job security we can get.. also survivorship_bias.png 3355
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I’m actually excited about touching a computer again?? it’s been 25 years… (a silly little bricked DECT phone that runs android 4.3 I’m going to try and fix, and then do silly mods to) 090
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 03/10/2026slightly eccentric old women are so cool, I’m excited to be one someday 090

Reposted by Erin Rosevictoria scott @victoriascott.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Generally speaking I do need AI boosters to understand that I’ve lost my career and future plans entirely to AI-based cost cutting. so any time you’re talking about tech you have to understand people whose livelihoods were destroyed by a thing they didn’t choose to adopt they’re gonna be prickly lol 20832126
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 30/09/2026procrastinating doing proper research on FCC certification for Witch Staff because I think there’s a 50% chance the FCC no longer meaningfully exists by the time we’re at that stage.. 061
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026hmm, even more good to know, I’ll be sure to look for flats with nice baths then (we’re planning on being flatmates) 130
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026baths that you can fit two (one very tall) trans women in are kinda rare tho 120
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026messily eating a mango because I was too lazy to cut it up and in doing so reminding myself that a friend is getting bottom surgery soon.. 190
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026an evil woman named Autodesk Fusion 360 is messaging me trying to extort me for £600 :( 0161
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 24/09/2026one too many days re-setting up my phone after I broke something on my custom android install caused me to snap and I got an iphone, I’m pretty disappointed in myself at how little I miss touching computers.. 010
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I wonder if proprioception is good enough to prevent that?? 010
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 22/09/2026presents (and counts) them one by one for something like this assembly line torque driver to pick up 011
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I’m assembling the first few batches of a series of devices I’ve designed for a client, also it’s quite small (about 15x20cm)! 100
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 22/09/2026ehehe, I have wanted one of these since I was 13 years old… :3 1100
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 22/09/2026every year my dislike for Raspberry Pi grows deeper and more justified, even Apple doesn’t prevent RAM chip replacement like this.. (consumerrights.wiki/w/Raspberry_...) (forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.ph...)consumerrights.wikiRaspberry Pi locks RAM upgrades 061
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 20/09/2026weighted blankets are not enough, I need to sleep under at least 2G of acceleration, I must become the weighted blanket someone invent fusion torch ships for this purpose pls 1110
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 20/09/2026neurotypical people who don’t remove their in-ear wireless headphones while talking out of laziness have unknowingly done so much for autistic people who wear them all the time for the noise cancelling.. thank you for your service 🫡 0100
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 20/09/2026if you ever see me irl and I’m wearing a bra that’s NOT me, that’s my evil clone and she’s kinda annoying 050
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 20/09/2026it definitely is my healthiest pothos so that makes sense! 121
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I wonder if my pothos enjoys being wobbled by the 3d printer.. 2100
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 19/09/2026bambu could do the funniest possible option and buy stratasys… 091
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 19/09/2026so Stratasys won their lawsuit against Bambu for infringing patents that cover basic 3D printing techniques every modern printer firmware / open source slicer uses… the 3D printing industry is going to get pretty interesting for a while! 2130
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 16/09/2026yes, that’s what I’m referring to - horribly over-sexualised and unrealistic main character, and then for seemingly no reason bringing up that paedophilia is legal in that society and having no pushback? major libertarian incel vibes. 110
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I really liked Project Hail Mary (book and film), but it is basically this… and if you read the author’s prior book you’ll realise the only reason he’s not extremely weird and creepy about women in PHM is because there aren’t (m)any in it.. 150
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 16/09/2026a lot of men seem to have a definition for “hard scifi” that can mostly be summed up as “almost all the characters are men, and said men get to feel smart about solving engineering problems” regardless of how realistic the technology actually is.. 170
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 16/09/2026as a workshop safety officer you should be mindful in using environment-appropriate language: "awww did you have a little booboo?" ❎️ "awww did you have a little industrial accident?" ✅️ 0315
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I stopped buying devboards soon after because I felt bad about not making use of them… so, sorry future Erin 6 years from now, suck it, wait a week 030
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 14/09/2026that one devboard I bought on a whim 6 years ago because the feature-set looked neat saved me a week of waiting for parts on a project today.. it can actually happen!! 170
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I've been informed Dyson have now recalled the toothbrush (less than 2 weeks after launch) ..because it wasn't waterproof.. lol 0193
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 12/09/2026when you verify a friend’s signal safety number in person you have to give them a little kiss on the top of their head after, it won’t work properly if u don’t 1419
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 12/09/2026nobody told me that intellectualizing yourself into a small steel cube to get through early transition has long term consequences?? wtf! 0100
Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 11/09/2026woah those are very cool, makes me even more sad that none of the non-fdm transparent printing materials are actually durable enough for real world use 010
