Mastodawn

There’s a lie we tell talented people: that craft wins. That mastery speaks for itself. That building something great is enough. That a good product will find its audience.

this line is straight from the TERF handbook. nobody with half a brain takes it seriously. when i was 25, i was diagnosed with graves disease, which made me kill my own thyroid. now i have to take pills every day. I take the same number of pills now for my transition, it's not a big deal.

My friends in #infosec: do you use a DAST tool you don’t hate, that can log in with OAuth, and that doesn’t cost a gazillion bucks? There are so many options today, and I could use some recommendations to narrow my search.
