Well youse guise, get ready to mute me. I guess this can be my #introduction. I used to be in #IT long ago but I've migrated into #LabMedicine. I still am a computer nerd at heart. This leads me to why I'm here.

Your instance runs Glitch, I love software where I have all the options (I've already tried to break Epic at work), and I already follow a bunch of folks here. My old instance is blocked by too many others so I needed a new home.

It's all a positive for me, but for you? You get #MedMastodon posts, shitposts, posts on #Geopolitcs, posts about #fandom, #metadiscussion on things like #gaming and #sci-fi, my #film recaps. Etc. Not much #infosec but I do post about it sometimes. Mostly ranting about bad #HIPAA security.

So hopefully I'll either bring some spice to your timeline or you can straight up mute me and I can bask in a local timeline that interests me. Sorry for interrupting!  

#ElizabethHolmes — I hope you rot in whatever prison or federal camp you end up in. #LabMedicine was already an unknown to the average person and your absolutely dragged our credibility through the mud. You deserve everything coming to you.
