Day job was Vulnerability Mgmt, Appsec and Risk Mgmt, now it’s skiing, skating and cycling, (schaatsen wielrennen veldrijden). I’m a hockey referee and a rabid #BostonBruins fan.
I speak English and #Dutch pretty well, Spanish and French ok, and I’m currently learning Italian. 
Home is #Breckenridge but #Boston, #Boulder, #Haarlem and #Bangalore hold a place in my heart. Did some time in Houston as well, including a spectacular time at #KTRU. I’m into #oldtime #banjo and #fiddle and a lot of other music. Quite possibly the worst banjo player in America.

I felled 6 trees today. With one exception, I easily bucked them all and brought the wood home to split for next winter (or the winter after this winter). One got hung up as a result of me trying to hurry and avoid going back to the truck for a couple more wedges. It doesn’t pay to hurry.

A brief history of gun control in America:

NRA: We need unlimited firearms to stop tyrannical government

Black people: Sounds good, we are open carrying in California

NRA: Not so fast. We're banning firearms

[ICE raids California, targets Black and brown people with illegal arrests]

Black and brown people: Hey NRA, here's that tyrannical government you mentioned

NRA: Oh, we meant tyranny against white people. We're perfectly good with fascists targeting you

The End

@davidaugust @EthicalProfessor @CAWguy The thing is, it will definitely be all over the protestors too. But I guess the difference will be that some with glitter afterwards will not be cops and will be wearing it with pride, and the ones who don’t match that description are marked as probably ICE
