Naturally, a minority of the population out there is like, "omg why is everyone making this a huge joke?" Oh... IDK...Maybe because we have a circus government admin run by clowns., humor is the only way to endure any of it. Let us have this! Now shush, my rapture news update and GRWM is back on.

I just saw a comment earlier on TikTok saying, " Do I need a real ID for this rapture or do I gotta go stand in line at the DMV for one tomorrow?" Now I cannot stop laughing every 5 minutes about it. These comments are giving me life again since I have no voice right now... 🤒🤧😷

"Oh! You thought this was going to continue to be free. Sorry, but it won't be."

Self preservation/isolation era now loading now... 🐚 If it would stop being 90+ degrees outside, that would be even more lovely.

Live your life and conduct yourself so that if you're gunned down in public nobody feels the need to tell others that it's inappropriate to celebrate your death.

I don't feel any particular joy in Charlie Kirk getting shot. It's not the sort of thing I celebrate. But I also struggle to care when someone gets the very thing they've wished for openly, on multiple occasions, in multiple iterations, for literal years, b/c they thought it would be someone else.

I'm going to say the quiet part out loud. Not stating compensation on your job listings and then advising me the salary band is 60 - 70K for a role with a Senior in the title is a colossal joke. Don't tell me you have 600 million ARR and then only want to pay a measly $60K for a senior-level role.

After I got home yesterday afternoon, I had a nap, showered, unpacked, did laundry, went to the store for groceries this week, and was in bed before 11 PM. Who the hell is this because it's not me!

EVERYONE IN CHICAGOLAND: Save this number in your phone. If you see an ICE raid: 1. Ask the the person their name 2. Ask who to call to let them know they’ve been taken by ICE 3. Tell them to not say anything 4. Call this number to report the arrest If possible video it

You know it was a good weekend when you really tear up once the train pulls away from station to head back home from Chicago after @blueteamcon.com. Aside from the event, what I loved most of all was the full tables and great convos with dear friends. 💚

I would love to see hacker/infosec cons say please don’t use AI images. AI is theft from artists If we are talking about building community let’s support other communities as well and artists are hurt by AI images

"Don't get mad, but..." is often a one-way ticket of you revoking yourself from having any access to my life at all. Maybe be honest from the get-go and don't do things that would be viewed as shady to me in the first place. I'm just saying. Do better people. It's not that hard.

People think they know me until they need to be put in time out with me. I don't take kindly to fake or manipulation in any capacity. Never have nor ever will. Come correct or either keep yourself the hell away from me. Thank you.

If you are attending @blueteamcon.com this weekend, we'll be recording an episode live in the unconference track at 10:00am Sunday morning!! If you have questions about response drills and tabletop exercises, stop by and ask them on the show!

Do I know anyone in Phoenix AZ looking for work? I need a technician/entry-level person who is interested in hardware and software and loves to learn. You'd be working with a Sr Factory Test Engineer building and maintaining test fixtures.

This is a one up from the Wells Fargo incidents of employees being found deceased at their desks. 👀😳

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

Are we there yet?! 🙄

Everyone is so loud on their phone on this train. Have you heard of texting because these conversations are embrassing! Omg 😳🙄

🚨💻 The Alarming Scope of Cybersecurity Burnout is here! Explore the growing challenges faced by cybersecurity professionals and the urgent need for solutions. Read more! 🔍✨ https://innovirtuoso.com/cybersecurity/the-alarming-scope-of-cybersecurity-burnout/ #Cybersecurity #Burnout #MentalHealth

I want to get back into a direct security role. Honestly, I am ready to go back to threat intel & OSINT research world. I love writing in this space, but it's no longer fun for me. I need to move it back to just freelance only. I am giving it all one last chance. Drop your learning recs, please!

I hope one day I can stop being so angry at the world. Maybe one day, but that won't be today or any real long stint of time anytime soon.

Former employer (multi-million dollar company): "We can't pay out your severance and COBRA reimbursement until the 15th." Yet you had a check to me for 2 days of work in 2 days... Don't do business with them. They don't really care about employees. That "Best in KLAS" award is as fake as they are.

Is anyone interested in doing the river boat tour again for @blueteamcon.com this week? I would love to do it again this year, if possible. Unfortunately, ya'll need to source for your own tickets this time. I am broke and unemployed currently. Let me know if anyone is interested.

"Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community or any other community out there has lost their sense of common humanity. We should not be operating out of a place of hate for anyone." —Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey

I don't know what I have done to deserve such good people in my life, but I am grateful I have. People who were in my life back before my mom's passing were the types that let my ex-husband nearly rob me of everything I had. When I say I am so not used to people showing up for me in life, I mean it.

Cathy Ullman: The Power of Active Defense

If I were a cybersecurity company, I wouldn't hire this dude for even 5 cents. Likely couldn't tell you what OSINT means without Googling it. This is 100% the type of misguided and egotistical marketing grifters plug on LinkedIn and then get mad at you for calling them out in the comments.

Tim Walz : trans rights are human rights JB Pritzker : we’re taking names of all you fuckers and coming after you Gavin Newsom : lol my pr firm made another meme while i guest starred on another right wing podcast

Today is tuesday and trans rights are human rights.

If you see me all over LinkedIn, mind your business. Is it kind of cringe? Yeah. Do I care right now? No. I have bills to pay. That is all. 💚🫶

I am going to say the quiet part out loud today. If you are a company that lays off an employee leading them to believe it was through no fault of their own while also understanding they were self-employed prior to joining, that is just pure evil. People reap what they sow eventually. Just sayin'

I spent all day: ✔️ Updating my entire resume. ✔️ Pitching myself for #freelance work on LinkedIn. ✔️ Applied for 10+ jobs. ✔️ Caught up on my Slack communities I neglected for months. ✔️ Laid in the hammock for only the 5th time this summer. ✔️ Had a session with my therapist. Time for bed now! 🥱

Hey friends, I have decided to open myself up to taking on some #freelance writing work again in the B2B security space again while job hunting. If you of anyone looking for some marketing or content support, please send them my way! Thanks! 🙏

@blueteamcon.com is back on for me! Got some things figured out and moved around. Can't wait to see all of you beautiful people in less than 2 weeks!!

Ya'll... if you haven't booked yet or plan to possibly book elsewhere for @blueteamcon.com in the future, please go to the Hyatt Regancy. After over an hour on the phone with Hyatt HQ someone just blind transferred me to the location for help. The front desk team and manager were able to refund me.

Someone said to me earlier "you don't truly believe you are worthy so this is why stuff keeps happening to you." I went "excuse me?! I believe I deserve a $150K+ remote role, anatomy in my work, and greater visibility for my career. You must have me mistaken for someone else cause that ain't me."

You know a company doesn't give a fuck about you if they send over the separation agreement and couldn't even spell your last name correctly. No one seems to know what the hell they are doing in marketing, let alone how to spell currently in HR apparently. Yes, I am up early and mad as hell today.

If I am just not on here or elsewhere for a bit, please don't worry about me. I was completely blindsided by everything today. Depression is going to take the wheel a bit for me. Hopefully, I can pull myself back out of it without a cocktail of anti-depressants to do it for me. I hate being numb.

Several ppl got promoted last week, and yet I got laid off during a "restructuring." It truly does not matter if it's a good or bad company anymore. Absolutely no one cares that they are destroying someone's livelihood like this. I really don't think there is a place for me in this industry anymore.

Okay. I may have had a few drinks tonight when I shouldn't have. I am not confident I can come back from this situation this time. I'm tired of constantly having the rug pulled out from under me. I didn't know what a somewhat comfortable life was like until this year. It likely won't happen again. 😞

If anyone does not have a ticket to @blueteamcon.com yet, please let me know. I will have to cancel my trip in light of my layoff today. Happy to transfer it to someone who would love to attend in my place. Feel free to DM me if I can forward it to somebody. 💚🫶

Having your teammate who went to war for you over some BS at work a while back message me now has me crying... Ugh and also ew.

Whoever has been praying on my downfall, you won. Enjoy.

I just got laid off. I'll likely have to cancel my trip to @blueteamcon.com now. I wish I had time to sit here and cry about everything, but I don't. If anyone knows someone looking to hire right now or is needing some freelance work, please reach out to me.

Same! Let me know!

A water main break on our neighborhood today has graciously reminded me how grateful I am to be living in today's world with running water and indoor plumbing. Not 100 years ago when it was luxury not a necessity. 🫠

Dis me. Thanks to @alyssam-infosec.com for sharing.

Not me currently researching options to open up a small online clothing boutique because I am freaking ridiculous about everything. I have too many years of retail experience. This may actually be the best side hustle option for me. Now what to call it? How to start it? Will anyone buy anything?
