Apparrently I am so over social media that I had to debate if I answer or not because - for all I know - you could also be a dude trying to lure girls out of their defenses for whatever reason.
But here I am, waving back my fellow female!
International womens day or not: Stand tall, be proud and hiiii!

Hello and Happy International Women's Day! I hope yours is going awesome, and your day off work is hella restful! Although, gamedev defo sounds like work to me!
I too am a lady type on the internet! I've never really hidden that though as I grew up a HELLA nerdy Millenial. I've had the internet in my hizzy since grade school and I cut my teeth on things like HarryPotter.com and GaiaOnline. Cutesy nerdy spaces. However, on the anonymous spaces, people assume I'm a dude on the reg. I usually just let it go. It's likely why I haven't experienced the toxicity to the same level that other ladies unfortunately have.
That being said, this weekend I'm hoping to be productive as hell with some yard work, and chilling out with some Cyberpunk as it's my latest obsession. And I'm definitely not cooking tonight!
Because I'm food motivated though...whatchu thinking about for take out?
Ah but you see, it's not the actual proper gamedev project I'm supposed to be doing, it's procrastination gamedev which is way more fun!
We're probably basically the same age, there was a definitely a window of time there where being online was still niche enough that nobody really cared who you were, they just wanted enough people to nerd out with. I mean, creepy A/S/L chatrooms aside of course π I kinda treat the internet as if it was still that way and dare it to prove me wrong, works out most of the time.
Tonight we are doing pizza, which on one hand yeah that's basic. But on the other hand small towns don't have much choice, and also pizza is bloody awesome!
Enjoy your Cyberpunking!
Ma'am, the way that the letters A/S/L took me BACK! π
And hell yeah, personal project gamedev does sound way more fun! It's always the passion projects that keep us going, right?
Enjoy your pizza! We might do the same! (Low key seeing what other people are ordering and mulling it over while I'm at work)
There is a definite pizza theme emerging here and I would love the idea of us all stuffing our faces in Lemming solidarity tonight.
Hi, sisters of Lemmy!
A bit late but hello!
Thank you for the post
Belated happy international women's day! Here's to more open and equitable internet forums :)
Hai!
Happy Woman's Day!
Happy International Womans day (even if you're uninational)!
For the men who want to brush up, remember what we all learned at school with this educational film
Mr. T. Robot is wise beyond his years.

Hiya! Happy International Women's Day! I recently got back from a long break from Lemmy, and really most other social media too, but my experience on here has been pretty good too. Generally I'd say it feels more friendly and positive than I remember Reddit feeling, and with generally more productive conversations in my experience.
And yeah we'll probably just order in later too. I've been a bit sick lately so probably not much else
Ack, sorry you've not been well, but I'm glad you're able to curl up and treat yourself food-wise as that always helps at least a tiny bit.
It's takeaway pizzas all round tonight, by the sounds of it!

I like the redditish format but I wish there was more compartmentalization, privacy and anonymity features on lemmy. there is no reason why anyone should be able to see all you do on here. it doesn't add anything, it only takes away. Except for maybe the people that only post art or something.
A bit late but hi!
Sister, you make the world awesome :) <3
Hello! Not a woman, but from what I've heard I understand the hiding. Frankly the men that do that sort of thing need a kick up the arse and I will never understand what it's supposed to achieve.
Hey! Happy international women's day to you too β€οΈ!
Hello back! π sorry I'm a day late. I did have to work yesterday but at least it wasn't a terrible work day, so I'll take it. I did the same on Reddit with not outwardly saying I'm a woman for obvious reasons, but I've had the same great experience on here so far. Happy to see the positivity is shared for others too!
Hello! I worked yesterday and I'm working today but I took time to pretty up and feel good about myself :)
