Wanna know how to be an active ally? Well here's one effective way you could be an ally to trans people. Show the violent bigots that they're outnumbered by those who believe in liberty for all and show trans people they're supported. Would you do it? steviesafespaces.com/product/you-...

Y'all and seen and heard about my visits to restaurants at airports where you can pull up and park your plane out front. Well how about a hotel that has an airplane ramp?

There are a few things about Vegas that I like.

As I was saying…

Ready for day 1.

There's not a lot about Vegas that I find particularly beautiful but this view of the mountains is pretty good.

It's been 8 years and the pain is still fresh. I've cried more today than I have in a long time. Adding onto the pain was the embarrassment of completely letting a friend down today. I said this morning that I hate today, well tonight I hate it even more. I've never wanted a Monday to come so badly.

I so appreciate being able to be a part of this year's con. So many great people coming together to make it happen!! Y'all are the truly amazing ones.

I hate today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ne3...

They wouldn't let me fly the plane 😭 😂

When people are tasked with using AI to create images of technologies that are older than they are, you get this type of bastardization as a result:

This month's brunch is coming up this Friday. Hope you can join us. RSVP and/or pass on the invitation to other women in the area. It's always a good time with great conversation. www.thebrunchclub.tech

Someone shipped me a cat. LOL.

Eight more puppies rescued from a shelter that was going to put them down and delivered to foster families in Wisconsin.

Hello Toledo.

Anyone planning to go to Deep sec in Vienna in November?

Wow, just got home a little bit ago and I'm already feeling the post-con blues. So great to see so many of my wonderful friends and to make some new wonderful friends as well. Can't believe we've been doing this for 5 years already, but I'm definitely looking forward to number 6.

Hey everyone...LOOK OVER HERE! It's Lt. Col. Bone Spurs declaring war on an American city!!! Does his rough tough cream-puff cosplay make you forget about the EPSTEIN survivors, their lifetime of trauma & their courage to speak the truth in public? Yeah, me neither. #ReleaseTheEPSTEINFilesASAP

Anyone want a slice of @zerotrustbarbie.bsky.social's diet pizza casserole?

Today feels a little bit like the calm before the storm. Blue Team Con trainings are underway and tomorrow the heavy lifting to get ready for the conference begins.

It's Blue Team Con time!!! Landed at Midway, don't think the approach controllers were too thrilled with having to work my slow plane in amongst the jets. But hey, if Dailey hadn't killed Miegs...

I think my cat is broken

Note to self, when ordering quantity 80 from amazon, they're logistics team basically loses their mind. This is what I found on my doorstep this afternoon. I feel bad for the UPS driver that ended up delivering all of this.

First solo in a helicopter! That is all.

If you haven't seen the list of @blueteamcon.com speakers yet, you gotta check this out. Even if you're not attending just look at this list. I couldn't be more proud of this list of amazing talent we'll have presenting this year. blueteamcon.com/speakers-blu...

Hey @brenzens.bsky.social IDK why but I think of you ever time I see one of this guys videos. www.youtube.com/@themotoroil...

@saren42.bsky.social these are for you.

Them: "Hey Alyssa, what did you do in your helicopter lesson today" Me: "Mostly the usual, but my instructor did have me fly this maneuver a handful of times (granted not to a platform on a truck, just a square of concrete on the ramp)". www.youtube.com/shorts/YXB9d...

It's BRUNCH week! Hope you'll join us on Friday and/or invite others who you think would enjoy a good breakfast and some great conversation. No sales, no weirdness, just good food with some new potential friends and maybe some existing friends. Please RSVP!! www.thebrunchclub.tech

Ever wonder what kind of damage flood waters do to FieldTurf sports fields? Well my hometown is finding that out tonight as the flood waters are receding. This entire football/soccer field and those bleachers were covered.

I think I may have just broken the law. I just cleaned out my kitchen junk drawer.

The second best part of a great steak dinner is the day after leftovers.

I feel dumb, but only just TIL that "Requiem for a Soldier" (the theme song on the Band of Brothers series) actually has lyrics. As haunting as the instrumental arrangement used for BoB was, the original song is 100-times more emotionally poignant. Chills and tears. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Opg...

The regularity of this phenomenon will never cease to amaze me. You introduce a man to an incredibly intelligent woman with a laundry list of impressive accomplishments, skills, etc. The first comment he makes is about her appearance.

New hats, who dis?

Would love to see a good variety backgrounds and experiences in candidates for this role. I need a senior leader whose passionate about building security infrastructure and heading a multi-faceted team of skilled security engineers and architects. epiqsystems.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Epiq_C...

Read it! Literally read the whole thing. If you're a white cis-hetero male, read it twice!!

Same energy:

I'm not even sure how this is my life. One of my dream planes I've wanted to go flying in is the Boeing Stearman Model 47 (aka PT-17). Well today I not only got to fly in one, I got to fly it. I'm going to be doing my tailwheel endorsement training in it! It truly was magical! youtu.be/KSw5qvNwg-I

Just in case you need a little brain cleanser this afternoon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3N44...

Days like today are a great time to remind everyone of the importance of finding healthy self care and release outlets. Avoiding the strong temptation to turn to substances as a coping mechanism can be very difficult, but I encourage you all to try to find something/anything else.

I will be attending several meetups @ DEFCON33: Fri 13:37 @defcongroups w/ @jackrhysider.bsky.social Fri 15:37 @DEFCONNextGen (youth and their parents only) Sat noon @owasp.org village Sat 13:37 ICS Village @brysonbort.bsky.social All events feature special surprise guests. Special note 1:

Whelp, I managed to get some sky therapy in tonight and even took some video of it. Don't judge my "soft field" landing technique, I'm a bit rusty. youtu.be/lfhNoieu-9A

If you need me today, sorry, I'm going to be hiding from the world for the rest of the day. I just can't.....

TFW you get to explain to the facilities team why putting wifi in the new office instead of wired network drops is actually more secure.

Odd question, but do I have anyone in my followers or friends of followers that works for Garmin Aviation out of Olathe, KS?

Yep and those men will also be the ones to proudly boast how they're an ally, maybe even engage in "supporting" of women's advocacy groups. But when it comes time to actually put those words into actions, they shrink and refuse to call out the bad behaviors of other men.

Hey Wisconsin and Northern Illinois ladies, don't forget to RSVP for our next brunch, it's this Friday!! We'd LOVE to have you join us. What could be better than a good brunch with bunch of friendly faces on a Friday morning? www.thebrunchclub.tech
