Hey, so as a veteran and incident responder I need to warn you to pay attention to something in America.

The human brain is resilient. While you're watching kids get dragged away from the parents and people being beaten in the streets, you're accumulating trauma but also being desensitized.

The Shawshank Redemption is one of my top five favorite movies because of this scene.

The Python Software Foundation--the charitable organization behind the Python programming language--withdrew their winning grant proposal for $1.5M in NSF funds rather than comply with the Trump admin's directive to eliminate all DEI programs.

Really tired of every week bringing some new reason to be afraid of losing our entire livelihood

AWS (Antifa Web Services) doing the #NoPings protest today

Meet the computer you can talk to

I adore Ironsworn! Longest solo game I ran was in Starforged. Dropped it for personal reasons but I shared the transcript with a friend and he recently reread it over because it was such a good story the dice gave me (in his opinion at least)

Partner and I just left about an hour ago!

There is no better feeling than your partner affirming your bisexuality by feeling secure enough to appreciate other people alongside you. We both be staring, and by God are we enjoying

Just got back from a two week threat hunt and as amazing as it was I'm realizing how little joy I let myself have and how difficult it is hiding my sexuality at work. Taking advantage of the next year of Offsec training and reaching out to friends in the industry to try and build an exit plan

Been super busy with work on a threat hunt and vibing with my only other bi friend and having an amazing time right now. Feels amazing to be able to vent to someone else who really understands the struggles of having to hide who you are all the time

Yesterday our work computers were finally forced to update to Windows 11. Adobe keeps crashing now and refusing to open, so I'm unable to open and view both network diagrams and documents I need to sign for this trip

My coworker just said antifa is a sleeper cell and I'm so happy I'll be travelling for work soon and getting a break from these people.

I love my job, coworkers aside...

Management freaking out over a CVE that's not even in our environment but is wasting time and money having us "confirm."

Introducing Al Key, a small device that lets Al control your entire phone. just plug it in and ask it to complete a task. pre-order now.

omg as a pentester PLEASE use one of these! Get them for your entire company. It’ll go great

My only other friend who reads the Cosmere is caught up fully like me, so forgive me but in living vicariously through you. Please keep giving us your thoughts and feelings as you read. There are so many moments I couldn't put them down and others I had to just to have a good cry

Only speaking for myself here, but imo it only gets better from here too...

It's difficult trying to make sure everything is preped when scope changes are happening daily and I'm not being informed. Trying to get updated info is like pulling teeth. This could be resolved if he didn't have to be acting manager and/or if I could be included in some of these conversations 2/2

My team lead has been forced to fill in some managerial gaps and he's too busy to give proper focus to prep for an upcoming threat hunt. Doing my best to fill in gaps for him only to find out things are changing and I'm working with out-of-date info

1/2

Oh, hi insomnia. Back for another visit? Really thought that door was locked but just let yourself in I guess...

Just wasted the last day and a half at work trying to do something that was, apparently, already done but nobody thought to tell me. Good coordination team. All motivation for the rest of the day just gone

Just saw an "I love mothman" sticker in the wild fuck yeah

A light, lime-green Luna Moth anchored on a tree sapling drying its wings. Adult luna moths live a short life span of approximately 10 days with its sole purpose to find a mate and create the next generation of luna moths. Adults have no mouths. They mate after midnight. Females deposit eggs on host trees that include Walnut, Persimmon, Hickory, Sweetgum, Birch, White Oak, Pecan, and Beech. Caterpillars feed on the leaves for approximately 6 weeks. moths lunamoth invertebrates biodiversity habitatgardening wildlifegardening

Luna Moth (Actias luna). I like to call them forest fairies 🧚 #ActiasLuna #bugsky

Or you could become the ultimate pen tester using astral projecting.

Astral security services.

“Is your akashic record secure from malevolent projecting?”

Sometimes one of our junior analysts will ask me a question and I'll have this moment of panic because I'm still relatively new this job, but then when I realize I know the answer I laugh at myself. Anxiety sucks, imposter syndrome is real, but that doesn't mean I don't know my stuff

So much for getting anything done today this headache just doesn't want to go away

I swear there used to be cool gadgets and gizmos, doodads and such. Now it's all cellphones it seems

I haven't had time to do any writing for fun in like two years, but a friend reached out recently to tell me he had re-read a rough draft of a story I'd been working on before I stopped and that it was really well done. I'm not a professional writer, but it still felt amazing to hear

You are in for such a ride... Parts of every book had me curled up on the couch bawling, and the struggles of many of the characters are those I've suffered myself so this series has a special place in my heart. The Cosmere as a whole, but this series especially
