Having late breakfast on the porch. Already started the work day.

Nearly perfect temperature, light breeze, clear blue sky, and a humming bird just flitted by.

This is much better.

I go back and forth on having a work device near to hand most times.

It means they can reach me during breakfast, but it also means I can sit outside and enjoy this beautiful day, while still covering my responsibilities.

Covid proved that many white collar computer jobs can be done 100% remote.

WFH >> RTO

Two things that have vastly improved my online life lately:

1. Adding "||accounts.google.com/gsi/*$xhr,script,3p" to Ublock Origin, which comprehensively blocks every Google login popup on random websites;

2. Switching my paypal.com bookmark to "https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_account," which bypasses the "Download the app" nag-screen.

Join myself, and many other women, in Las Vegas for a WWT -sponsored breakfast with The Forte Group, on Thursday August 7th from 8-10 am. Meet other women in cyber, make friends and network!

Next time you see a bunch of U-Haul Nazis:

- Have a local person call 9-1-1. Not the police line. 911. And only if you're local. You have to be in the jurisdiction for this to work.

- Report a crime in progress. "I'm watching a dozen or so masked armed men pile into the back of a moving van without seatbelts. I know this to be a crime and I feel unsafe."

- A cop will be dispatched to the scene to conduct an investigation. Nobody will go to jail over this. This is at best a misdemeanor.

- However the cops will still have to pile everybody out of the vehicle and ID them to issue seatbelt violations. That means body cam footage.

- Body cam footage that can be FOIA requested by antifascist investigators. That means drivers license photos, names, and addresses of Nazis.

- That means Nazis who lose their job, get kicked out of their mom's basement, etc. Many of these sick fucks only do what they do because they're operating under the assumption of anonymity. Take that assumption away.

One of the main reasons people come to NYC, stay in NYC and like NYC is because it's one of the places in the US where a large number of people share a common value system built on the celebration of diversity and the power we derive and joy we find in living together not just tolerating but actively seeking out people who see the world differently. THIS is how you learn.

Finding the way to do this without compromising any of these individual identities.
