Welcome to the first: Tiara Tuesday
Over my life, I've had more men than women friends, but since I've started working in infosec/security, I've met some of the most amazing women. So, I decided that celebrating these queens publicly was the best way to do it.

For the inaugural Tiara Tuesday, I'm choosing @triciakickssaas because she's basically the inspiration. Last Thursday, she sent me a picture of her in a tiara and I was like, "you know what, wearing a tiara every Tuesday would be awesome." Then, I realized Tiara Tuesday has great alliteration so needs to be a whole thing. So, for this first Tiara Tuesday, I'm going to celebrate one of my favorite women in #infosec -

She's an incredibly talented singer and parody lyricist.
She's kind - but also can be just as kvetchy as I am.
She's brilliant - and she's achieved so much.
She's also going to be at BlackHat manning her own booth talking about Akamai's research.
And she is one of the sparkliest, dog-loving, musical theatre nerds who totally accepts all my punniful memes.

I give you Tricia Howard: the Queen of Infosec Parody.

The shade I just got by telling her to stop licking the other dog’s ear so he’ll move.

i have decided to just block people with bullshit opinions. It makes everything much more pleasant. I don't have to explain why they are wrong in detail and how they are mislead by stupid tiktoks and headlines if I just block them. I must no engage. Engagement is the mood-killer. Engagement is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

Don't miss these two great events in Las Vegas during Hacker Summer Camp!

ALL ARE WELCOME!

There’s noise from people who don’t get it + shouldn’t be talking because they have no facts. Proud to be SAG-AFTRA but 87% don’t qualify for health insurance as we don’t make $26,000 a year. I work 2 jobs to make ends meet. What we’re asking for is absolute peanuts. It’s bare minimum scraps + billionaires have the audacity to say we’re unrealistic. We deserve so much more than what we’re asking for, but they’d rather replace us with robots. Stand up for us #sagaftrastrong #sagaftrastrike
I'm looking to follow people who use #AltText If this is you, please let me know. I'm happy to throw a follow. Boost for more views please.

At 11:59pm, the SAG-AFTRA contract talks ceased. They will start picketing tomorrow.

This is the first time both SAG-AFTRA and WGA have been on strike together since 1960.

As a #writer, I feel very connected to these outcomes. As a #freelancer, I have no union to protect me.

The WGA and SAG-AFTRA negotiations are about the financial value of creative talent.

They are about how society views what we’ve come to call “knowledge” work.

If your income is based on what you know and how you use those brain skills, you should care about the outcome of these negotiations.

We should *all* be as worried as SAG-AFTRA
"We're looking for...informed consent & fair compensation if you're going to use any kind of AI or digital technology to recreate someone's image or likeness"

We can't let corporate greed and discussions of "cost savings" or "time savings" take from us the thing that make us human - our thoughts and our physical selves. We truly are at an inflection point, and I worry about the path we'll take as a society.

SAG-AFTRA Head: AI Is a ‘Game Changer’ With Both Threats and Opportunities

SAG-AFTRA members seek “informed consent and fair compensation” if AI is used to recreate an actor’s likeness.
