problems

so in like 2013 or 2014, i was lobbying my job to get an Etsy.

like a fucking dumbass, i used my work email to sign up for an account there, but my work email was one of those dumb-forward things that just goes straight to a gmail account.

my personal gmail account.

so when i set up the work etsy shop, and then signed it over to them once it was going and they understood what i meant, somehow it’s still associated with that dumb forward, and so if I want to sign up for Etsy for myself as a customer, it won’t let me, because I already have an account, even though the shop is now associated with a different email I don’t have access to. That’s how you log in, that’s where the notification emails go; none of it is my email now.

Worst of all, and this somehow didn’t happen before but is happening with my new phone, if I look at any listings on Etsy, not logged-in, on my personal phone, they now show up in the browsing history of the Work Etsy that is not me. Again, I am not and never have been logged into Etsy on my personal phone browser. But I’m logged into Gmail on that phone. And so Google “knows” who I am, and very transparently is tracking what I look at.

(Yes, this is why there are titties on my work screen at work. Sue me I was looking at lingerie. A girl has needs.)

So I get that I need to install Firefox on my phone and put fucking everything into fucking containers, I grok it, that’s fine, but.

I would actually like to be able to shop on Etsy, as a human person. I mean mostly it’s a trashfire at this point, but. Sometimes. Sometimes a person sees a thing and is like “ooh shiny”.

But this has just driven home to me that I don’t seem to be able to have any way at all to divorce my personal Gmail account, which is not now and never was involved in that Etsy shop, from the commercial Etsy login.

I cannot even check out as a guest, it forces me to log in as work, which then I cannot use because that’s not my credit card on file and my boss would not be understanding of my need for whatever shiny thing it is. (Your picture was not posted)
