This is an excellent way to ensure you get invited to friend's parties; bring them fresh brownies! These will be ready for me to get on the road in the morning:

Huh.

Can confirm, I did say this, over on Threads. I stand by it here as well. And everywhere else!

finally got a full vid of the hover!!!! omg

This would actually go over well with a surprising number of my friends in the hacker community:

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

It's ONLY been 65 years since six year old Ruby Bridges walked through the halls of William Frantz Elementary as the first Black child to attend an all white school. Met with mobs and hate, her bravery and courage helped change the course of history for this nation. (1/3)

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

I have an AMA starting now on Reddit. www.reddit.com/r/SecurityCa...

I've had this cab ride back to the hotel and I am so glad to have survived:

I attended a meeting yesterday and it reminded me that every single organizer needs to get training on how to facilitate meetings. Truly. You lose more people through terrible meeting facilitation than I can express.

I miss my kitty; she absolutely loved cuddles.

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

I'm seeing some middle aged men whose hearts I really do think are in the right place NONETHELESS making dumb "sexy time" jokes about the Epstein stuff. Just a default setting of heh heh, whoa sex heh heh. I feel like a real drag for scolding about this, but c'mon man. Discernment, Even in jokes.

Oh today is a good day! Thanks @digikey.bsky.social!

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

According to tiny cat, tagging someone on this post also counts. 🐾 #cat #wholesome #funny

Hopefully people are remembering that sexual assault victims can read what they’re saying

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative. The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Rough day to be any sort of survivor of sexual violence. Solidarity to all of you, please be kind to yourselves

My friend Kara, the one currently incarcerated at Carswell, has had her hormones cut yet again. They haven't done labs or anything on her in weeks. They've now reduced her to 3 mg a week for her HRT. We are still desperately searching for legal counsel who will advocate for her. Please help.

Oh my:

Reading was an escape from an abusive home life and an abusive school experience; I read voraciously and I wish I still had the time to read as much as I used to. Too many books impacted me to try and list them all here.

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load. So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

PSA: tips to protect yourself from scams on Signal. Every major comms platform has to contend w phishing, impersonation, & scams. Sadly. Signal is major, and as we've grown we've heard about more of these attacks--scammy people pretending to be something or someone to trick and abuse others. 1/

On this day, 50 years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald left a mill near Duluth destined for Detroit. The "gales of November" thought otherwise and stopped her trip near Whitefish Bay. The bells will ring 30 times tomorrow at the Maritime Museum in Detroit youtu.be/FuzTkGyxkYI?...

Hey #KubeCon, be extra kind to the staff today. One of them I chatted with yesterday whispered to me that people were giving them a hard time today

A togglable "I'm an adult with kids and a job" feature that assumes you only get to play once a week, and dumps a summary of what you were last doing/your current objectives in a corner tooltip on loading a save.

I grew up intensely bullied and learned not to care what others thought about me early on. Learning to be myself took a while and the more I have the better the people I associate are. Life is better when you care about the right people's opinions and ignore everyone else. Learning how is worth it

This is my Chinese cave gecko. It caves less than the Democrats.

A coworker and I used to listen to this song on repeat for literally hours and I imagine we drove our coworkers nuts but we absolutely got a ton of work done and bonded over this song:

This is an important point; when working on your inclusivity outreach I highly recommend talking to the trans/non-binary community as part of your efforts and listening to how they want to be invited. The folks you're after are much more likely to support your mission if you do so.

Also, define your acronyms!!! I've spent entire cybersecurity talks frantically googling acronyms.

A small reminder from your feline friend 🐈‍⬛🤍

One thing I've learned is that it's okay to talk about the basics and people really appreciate it when you do a good job explaining them. What's "basic" to me isn't to them (and vice versa) so trade knowledge freely and make us all better.

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

Today is a great day to do something fun or rewarding (like that chore you've been putting off) and feeling something different. Remember to feed your mind the way you feed your body. Speaking of which; have you eaten? Had a glass of water? Real water, not just liquid. Take good care of yourself.

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons. State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

Not to add to the “is having a boyfriend embarrassing” discourse, but there are other reasons for women keeping their male partners off their feeds. Years ago, I made the mistake of sharing a poem I wrote for my fiancé and tagging him. The result was people harassing him, an introverted reserved guy
