    I wanted to leave a final note on my account. For ethical reasons I no longer use X. I’m super active on Mastodon (infosec.exchange) and Bluesky. I live in Australia now! My conference is on to year 6. I hope you choose to join me on a more reputable platform. 🙏✨💜👋🏻

    I know I am not the first one to say this, but there are a lot of very well credentialed people in tech worrying what would happen if internet giants collectively de-platformed a group who isn't right wing, while totally erasing the fact that it already happened to sex workers.

    This an extraordinarily inappropriate political use of a USG account.

    If you’re angry for no reason you’re burnt out, If you’re sleepy for no reason you’re burnt out, If you’re irrationally mad and your work suddenly looks bad, Spontaneously apathetic you’re burnt out.

    In my life as a security professional, I have had exactly three IT friends / colleagues come up to me bragging about the secret digital surveillance they constructed to monitor their kids. Every single one of them ultimately destroyed and lost their relationship with their kid.

    Repeat after me: I’m good at my job. I’m smart &help others. It’s OK I’m not an expert at every niche of infosec as long as I keep learning.

    Everyone shocked about a drop in US life expectancy while looking at their phone in 2AM instead of sleeping because they have to work 90 hours a week, and planning their meals of food that's 70% processed sugar because that's what's affordable at the grocery store on average pay.

    One of the Anonymous accounts now has thousands of people leaving five star Russian-language reviews for random restaurants and hotels in Russia with facts about the invasion of Ukraine, to evade censors. 🤷🏻‍♀️🍸 It’s hard to keep up.

    Escort services, but just to rent a man to stand there and nod sagely in a manly way when you are trying to negotiate to buy a car or hire a contractor as a single woman. 😣
