I keep breaking, but there are also cycles of repair.

I published "Letter to an Insecurity Engineer"

This is an attempt to validate the insecurities and imposter feelings that often come up in the face of persistent hostility, criticism, and questioning of our competence, from our own colleagues within infosec.

Letter to an Insecurity Engineer - Managing on the Margins - Medium

As one insecurity professional to another, I want to share some vulnerabilities with you. No, not the insecure posture of our applications and infrastructure: our own insecure feelings, about the…

I’m seeing folks from #Sudan on #twitter despairing that the site’s new limits, and its general m*sk-era brokenness, will compromise their ability to stay updated on the catastrophe unfolding in their homeland and share emergency info.

Once more: mastodon/fediverse needs to think seriously about how to expand to users in Asia and Africa and how to handle emergencies #twitterdown

Hey folks, a gentle reminder to offer some kindness right now as appropriate.

I know folks are getting their laughs in with #twitterdown and the migration here and elsewhere happening extremely quickly once more. Just remember...

A ton of people are watching the communities they built crumble. Job stability for many people, particularly sex workers, artists, and other creatives are in extreme jeopardy. Some people who need crowdfunding to live are currently terrified of what happens next.

There are valid reasons to hate #twitter but remember to not be mean to people sad about its demise. There is an appropriate way to balance our reactions to this news.

If there was one piece of advice I could give to new Mastodon users who are finding their feeds quiet or boring, it is to follow as many people and hashtags as you can. This is not Twitter; there is no algorithm, it is not going to fill your feed with stuff it thinks you like. You have to curate it yourself. Once you do, though, it's so much more vibrant and rewarding than Twitter has been for a year. #TwitterMigration #Twitter
Aaaand.. pretty sure I've got the 'rona again. 😩 #covid
They must make these things just to watch us squirm when we can't find it anymore. #MountainDewMysteryFlavor #soda #MountainDew #Mystery
My ADHD was misdiagnosed as “smart but lazy”, “selfish”, “lacks effort”, “in his own world”, “too sensitive”, “messy and disorganized”, “always late”, “gets in his own way”, “sloppy handwriting”, “overly emotional”, “a lot”, and “not living up to his potential.”

One of the biggest enigmas of ADHD is how quickly your brain can get overwhelmed with the idea of work.

All of the possibilities collected into one massive, undoable task.

It makes everything and anything feel impossible to even start.

When #browser #tabs were a new thing, I *think I remember there being an easy way to easily find from whence you opened said tab? Is this a thing? What do you call it? Can it still be done? How? #referring #html #history
