I 10/10 recommend an early morning coffee and thrift trip with your local bestie before interview and client calls for the day. It really helps reduce over thinking by a landside! 😍

The world is so loud today about everything. I just can't lately. Taking a break this week from socials. Break stuff. Hack the planet. Be kind to one another if you can. Love ya'll.

Just know. Somewhere out there my racist, transphobic, homophobic, toxic, atheist ex husband was looking like this last night. I'll never forget the summer of 2016 when him and his cop buddies made an alt racist song to the lyrics of Pink Houses by John Mellencamp. I started planning my exit then.

Not sure if many caught this, but they hid A LOT of Easter eggs in that show. And that's ok. For example, those power poles were a clear reminder of where the same idiot in office failed the people of PR after the 2017 hurricane. Yet they STILL choose to end the message with choose LOVE not HATE. 💚

Well folks, that's enough of any sports ball on TV in this house for the year. Imma head out. Enjoy.

EVERYONE STFU!!! MY HOMIE BENITO IS ON.

I'm not one of those folk who watch the big game *only* for the commercials, but nonetheless I do watch the ad breaks. My summary of this year's commercials so far: AI slop AI slop Money Management AI slop Hey, fatty, use GLP drugs AI slop AIPAC propaganda AI slop Ugh. 🙄

2026 might be the year I leave the cybersecurity industry for good, not just pivot to something adjacent only. I am tired, burnt out, mad, and frustrated about my failed career every single day. I wanted to do amazing things in this space, but no one ever gave me a solid chance. So I just give up.

CEOs that signed the letter included 3M CEO William Brown, Best Buy CEO Corie Barry, General Mills CEO Jeff Harmening, Target incoming CEO Michael Fiddelke, UnitedHealth Group CEO Stephen Helmsley, and others. https://to.pbs.org/4reWa6i

we’re all furious and horrified, and with good reason, but please, try to still be mindful of who you’re posting out in the open

Hey kids — if you know anyone looking for an experienced graphic designer, my better half was laid off and is seeking a new gig. TIA!

Job application asked in the pre-screener questions "why do you work?" My answer is always going to be the same. "I was not born into money, and we live on a floating rock that requires it for survival."

Factory resetting all of my windows devices now or I will snap. I. HATE. WINDOWS 11.

First person I want to speak with when I arrive to hell will be Bill Gates. Windows 11 OS clearly bloats every device with every single update on purpose to steal your GB and render the device nearly obsolete. We gonna have just a lil chat... 💪👊

2021 - 2023 feels like it was a fever dream at this point.

The absolute last thing I have time, energy, or money for right now is for this laptop to 💩 out on me. Can't seem to catch a break here. I am so, so tired. Defeated even.

The state of the world is not conducive to relaxation or stress reduction these days. Today is a great day to reach out to folks and check on them; now more than ever we all need to support each other. Remember we are in this together; we are not alone. #MakeKindnessNormal

I have an idea... Hear me out. I want to start a YouTube channel where I just film myself reacting to LinkedIn posts in real-time without sharing their details. Them: "I hired my wife as my first ever employee of my company." Me: 'weird flex, but okay." 👀🤨

Hard same.

The tarot readers and psychics are back on my TikTok fyp and my Instagram now too. I just want my cute dog and foodie videos please! I predict that we are cooked fam.

I have never been more convinced that I am just not hirable at this point. It's been 5 months next week. I am exploring back to retail and customer services at this point because I don't know WTF to do once my unemployment runs out next month. It's even hard try to land steady freelance work.

Left the dentist this morning with them wanting to charge me over $900 (with a $350 credit I had from the last time too) and I didn't even get a teeth cleaning. I have NEVER been more convinced this entire system of a country is a SCAM.

A local friend shared with me there is such a thing over in the city called metal yoga. The context is basically they only do yoga to hardcore metal or screamo music and they scream into the void to start each session. Sounds like the perfect exercise routine for me to start in 2026.

Recruiter got back to me finally after a month. Apparently for a startup that just came out of stealth and has ZERO content strategy or much at all on their website, I was still passed over for the role. At what point am I allowed to give up completely and just leave the cybersecurity industry?

It is disingenuous to suggest that the fault for Grok creating and publishing CSAM rests on those who prompted it. Just absolutely disingenuous. The fault lies on xAI to prevent the misuse of its tool. Just like OpenAI with ChatGPT coaching people through suicide/murder. Safety MUST trump profit.

Day 2 of trying to get my life and career back in order. #hireme #needsajob #broke #opentowork #freelancelife

Apparently everyone started a new job today according to LinkedIn. What did I do today? Cried. Pitched myself on LinkedIn. Chatted with the 1 auntie I have left now. Talked a friend out of a panic attack. Showered. Walked the dog at the park. Ate. Questioned my existence. Just another Monday!

Friends hug/call your aunties this week for me, please. I lost one of mine last week. Woke up to scroll BookFace this AM. First picture I saw was my auntie (that passed) dancing on a bar. I hope the bar you're dancing on now auntie is on a sunset tropical beach somewhere. I'm going to miss you. 💔

Decided on a one last "do it for the plot" moment today to end the year. 🫣🤪

I decided to give myself the best gift I could this year, investing in myself. I had a small amount of extra money lately. So, I put aside just a small portion of it into my savings account, fun money fund, HSA, & IRA. Don't know what 2026 will bring career or income wise, but it's better than $0.

Joined Alyssa @alyssam-infosec.com for #HackerFit mode. I did a half mile loop this morning walking at the park even with a bum back this week. Also hoping my stride returns as well. I miss the long trek hike/walking life.

My mom, granny, & eldest pup (now gone this year) were my biggest pillars to lean on in life prior to 2020. I lost all 3 in 6.5 years. That was my support system. For so long. Knowing their time was limited has been my biggest fears come to fruition. So TY those around this year. Love ya'll, always.

On this winter solstice eve, I want to thank many of you for being a part of my life in your own way. How you entered my life is my best view of you. This year has proven to be one of the worst of my life. I wouldn't have made it without many of you. Sincerely. Thank you for existing in my life. 💚

Someone just referred to this admin as basically the cast of Reno 911. I feel that's just downright offensive to the actual cast of Reno 911.

The sheer amount of people I have seen IRL questioning their religious beliefs lately is equivalent to a massive amount of kids discovering how Santa isn't real. Ultra religious neighbors attempted to put up their nativity scene last week only to take it back down the next day like nah nevermind.

All I have on the agenda today is to just ✨ exist.✨ So you know it's going to be a great day.

People today have given me my 13th reason... ....to delete Facebook vs. myself. If I'm too much to be friends with, just tell me. Don't ghost. If you secretly hate me, just tell me. I'd rather be told I need to see myself out of their lives than assume. I may overthink, but can also take a hint.

I have over a dozen interviews over the next week. 👀🫢

Not me wanting to buy a pair of Uggs this year. Did I time travel back to 2009 or something?!

If anyone everrrrrr wants to even attempt to accuse me of AI slop in any of my writing, just know this... I don't stay up until 1:30 in the morning for my fucking health when trying to finish these projects so I can somewhat enjoy the weekend.

Interviewing for a marketing manager role next week. I always research each company I entertain an interview or a consult with. Majority of employees on LinkedIn are men... The probability of this going beyond 1 or 2 interviews is very low. However, I always welcome the universe to prove me wrong.

I do this to myself every single time because it's apparent that hate myself deep down... What is it? I procrastinate to the point of backing myself into a corner where I have to do double the amount of work in only the 24 hours available in a day. Maybe in 2026 I'll stop being my own worst enemy.

First decent snow of the year happened overnight. It's so quiet and peaceful outside right now. I love it.

They are still essential heroes in my eyes. Thank you to our healthcare workers!

Don't know what I did to deserve some of you all but many have shown up for us this week both near & far. Friends having the time of their lives in Europe currently, others hours from us, some that live close, & yet many still took the time to send even just a funny meme to make us laugh. Thank you.

I will be ghost mode for a while. I've hit the angry stage of it all. Best if I just keep to myself because I am mean when angry. Had a friend say to me "you should be well used to death and grief by now." As if this is easy for me?! Each day I proven that no has empathy anymore. So why bother?

This astrology and tarot bullshit needs to get the fuck out of my TikTok algorithm. I don't fucking care. Shut up with your delulu and get the hell off my fyp already. Go on.... GET!
