people close to me still capitalize my name and it's like. my brain keeps telling me that If You Tell Them It's Wrong One More Time They'll Finally Unfriend You
trauma is nice
"but that feels wrong to write, as someone who very selectively cares about grammar only when it will inconvenience people i think should be inconvenienced about it like you, making such a childish claim as to ask your name to be properly spelled"
tough
i'm far from the first sentient being with a lowercase name and i deserve the same care and recognition
if a beat reporter for Nerdist could get my name and pronouns right so can you
@mavica_again I'm sorry. I appreciate this.
@dotHTM for the record, this keeps happening. it wasn't just you
thank you for noticing though
@mavica_again my display name in my work chat has been reverted back to my full legal name twice now. I suppose I was getting "too cute" with a ton of punctuation, so eventually I changed it to ".Nickame Surname" and yet again it was changed for me back to my full legal name. What was more upsetting was that no one came to me to say "we have a policy" or "this is unacceptable". Zero negotiation or explanation. So I'm just guessing at why and even how this was done.
Who in my org gets to define my name?
This while my state gets ready to ban pronouns.
@dotHTM god i thought my previous workplace was draconian enough enforcing a desktop wallpaper
maple "mavica" syrup is lowercase yes even if you're starting a sentence with it
nobody spelled it "Iphone" just because it was at the start of a sentence
