Thinking about the mom of that kinda-a-problem first girlfriend in junior high I followed to the renaissance faire in the ‘90s who had been a computer programmer since the '80s and had a triple-monitor setup and made USENET jokes and wore tight leopard-print clothing and entertained a succession of men in addition to the kinda pathetic one she lived with (unlike the renn faire people, she didn’t seem to conceptualize this as “polyamory”) and had shelves of SF paperbacks

And how she had almost certainly been masturbating to fanfiction back then
