Friends and I have been planning an upcoming get together for over a year now. Slowly but steadily, all the other child free folks have backed out. Not that kids can’t be fun, but spending a long weekend centered around the needs of 7 small children is not what I signed up for. We may be doing our own thing considerably more than originally planned.

Augie Ray“Do I really need to wear a mask forever in a hospital or doctor's office?!?” is the new...
“Do I really have to wear a seatbelt for every car trip, no matter how short?”
or
“Do I really have to stop smoking in my own office at work?!?”
or
“Do I really have to stop drinking the water from the Broad Street pump?”
No one ever welcomes new rules and practices that keep us safe. They always reject them--until they stop and adopt the sensible rules. #COVID19
BrianKrebsRecent weeks have seen a sizable uptick in the number of phishing scams targeting U.S. Postal Service (USPS) customers. Here’s a look at an extensive SMS phishing operation that tries to steal personal and financial data by spoofing the USPS, as well as postal services in at least a dozen other countries.
I like to show my work, and went pretty far down the rabbit hole with this one:

If you’re doing US-based events for women in tech, especially if your events are NB and trans-inclusive, you need to be paying a whole lot more attention to security than most events do. Get some paranoid infosec women and a real physical security presence. Safety planning right now should make everyone sweat. And don’t do events in states where your attendees are exposed to legal and medical harm. 🤦🏻

Shout out to the Futility Closet podcast for being the best thing I found to listen to during a couple weeks on visual rest.
Podcast - Futility Closet
From March 2014 to November 2021, my wife Sharon and I hosted a weekly podcast featuring “forgotten stories from the pages of history” — surprising and curious tales from the past. We’re no longer producing new episodes, but all the old ones are still available — you can use the streaming players below or subscribe on Google Podcasts, on Apple Podcasts, or via the RSS feed at https://futilitycloset.libsyn.com/rss. Thanks for listening!
Unsurprisingly, this is the only social media site I’m on where #fuckCovid is still a supportive space for those suffering from it, and hasn’t been partially or entirely taken over by anti-medical establishment assholes.
Weirdly, IG, which is usually a great supportive space for fuck-insert-condition-here communities, is by far the most toxic space on this.
JessamynThe University of North Texas Libraries is conducting a research study on Transgender Workplace Belonging in U.S. Libraries.
Five minute survey for people over 18 who work in a US library and identify as transgender or gender diverse.
[not my study, just sending it along to get more eyeballs on it]
