actually fuck people on twitter sometimes. why be mean about it? sorry i’ve been posting about vacation so much, i never have gotten to fucking take a real one like this. it doesn’t mean i’m not into infosec. 🙄🤦🏻♀️
i guess technically my first CTF was breaking in my parents email to delete the email notifications they received about me skipping in class... 😂🤦🏻♀️🤔
happy monday y’all! i’m so very grateful & stoked to be starting my first day at
@rapid7
as a product consultant 🥰
i hope everyone has an awesome week! 🤘🏼
i made the mistake of joining a neighborhood group on facebook. everybody is like, really racist here. i think i’ll spend some time today getting my OSINT on. 🥰
how can i get better at reverse engineering, like for CTFs? it’s my biggest struggle every time i play Linux challenges. i have a huge disconnect in my brain and i’m not even sure where to start.
of course i’m at defcon closing ceremony & my mom calls & i have her on emergency bypass so although my phone was silenced everyone got to hear my family guy “MOM! MOOOM! MOMMY!” ringtone - because THAT isn’t embarrassing. 🤦🏻♀️😂🤷🏻♀️
wow, i used to work with this guy & he hit me up on LinkedIn asking me to copypasta a recommendation for him that he wrote himself, which i wasn’t comfortable doing. i didn’t respond, so he DM’d me on twitter asking me to check my LinkedIn - then he blocked me.
toxic as fuck ✨
i really did not think i’d make it to be 30, but damn am i glad to be here, experiencing a life that just keeps getting better & better. feels like i’ve done so much & yet there’s still so much more life to live. i’m so thankful to have so much love & support in my circle. 🖤✨
so uh, hey, my talk got accepted into
@texas_cyber
- so i guess i should start polishing that one up. you ever submit a talk idea being like “psh, this ain’t gonna happen, but whatever” and then it does and you’re like “oh, shit” ?! not in a bad way, just gotta do it! 🤘🏼🖤
what pw manager do you use? currently, i'm on 1password w the premium plan, but i'm kinda thinking of switching to lastpass - nothing against 1pass, just wanting to try something new. opinions? anyone favor one over the other or a completely different one all together? teach me!
sad vibes today because it’s been 10 years since my little brother’s last birthday alive. if i had known, i would’ve thrown him the biggest party. he should be 26 today.
3 years ago, i got some sparkly tears painted on my face & did a “divorce sucks” boudoir photoshoot.
it was empowering & helped me learn to accept an ending that i wasn’t ready for at the time. i’m really glad i did it, so i wanted to share a few✨
happy friday everyone! 🤘🏼
you never stop grieving. this is Ben, he was my dad, and he passed away last year from cancer. we didn’t have a great relationship at the end, but when i was younger, he always had me laughing. he taught me how to two step, bought me my first pair of high top converse.
i’ve been using an ancient home remedy to heal myself, here’s the recipe in case anyone feels sick this winter season:
• 1 family size bag of hot cheetos
• Six pack of beer (1 minimum)
☝🏻 consume liberally.
to the man who brought me so much happiness, continuously takes care of me, and does whatever he can to put a smile on n my face: you’re my best friend in the universe, and i love you SO MUCH, forever. thank you for every single thing.
on a lighter note: so, after meeting this cool guy in Vegas, i decide, eh, fuck it, a 17 hour road trip together is a dope second date.
@notasockpuppet1
& i proceed to drive together for 17 hours to Louisville to attend the final DerbyCon together. Friday night we go to this bar,
my ex called me a psycho a lot. our relationship ended with a drunken bender where he refused to let me leave his apartment for days because he broke my ribs & didn’t want me to get help.
maybe i was psycho, but i wanted to get the fuck away from him.
it’s a rare occurrence that i do my makeup these days, but flogging molly was here in ATX so it was necessary to breakout the green eyeshadow & of course document it 😂
they put on an awesome show. hope everyone has a great week.
☘️🖤✨
i deleted my earlier post because i wasn’t sure if i’d be able to make it happen, but i can now let y’all know that this kitty is flying back home with me. i’ve had a bunch of names so far but right now i’m liking Binx. 🥰
i was 21 and went up for my first promotion at Rackspace. peers on my panel told me i killed it - everyone voted yes. next comes silence, one day i check & find out i’ve been denied for the role. then my mgr tells me he declined FOR ME bc he thinks i need more experience first 🙃
i’ll start with the bitter of today.
10 years ago, i woke up to the absolute worst news i’ll ever hear. the first time i felt immense loss, devastation, true heartbreak.
the grief has never faded, but neither has the love. my little brother was so funny & smart. & annoying. 😂
i’m so angry. i hate seeing toxic people get things they absolutely don’t deserve, and seeing the actually good people fall right into it. i have entirely too much to say & not enough energy to say it.
time for another twitter break.
coding n00b & i need to write a bunch of python to monitor some logs for certain messages, then output those messages to one or more CSV files; i don’t even know where to start 🙃🐍
snorkel attempt
#2
was way more successful. i had significantly less anxiety snorkeling in a deeper part than where we were yesterday. no turtles or dolphins as i hoped (i was too scared to go far enough out for the dolphins) but lots of beautiful sea life.
never in my life did i think i’d be rocking a powershell shirt... yet here i am. and i actually like it.... 😳😜
thanks
@notasockpuppet1
for getting me this &
@powers_hell
for creating 😍🤘🏼
y’all really like talking about passwd managers! i’d ask what your favorite text editor is, but Vim is superior. *drops mic* 😈🤗
have a good weekend! 🤘🏼✨

with the end of an absolutely amazing weekend, i feel like it’s an appropriate time to announce that i’m super excited to be starting my new gig as an Enterprise TAM for

this week 🥰
yo, idk who, if anyone needs to hear this, but, when someone shows you red flags on red flags on red flags, dip out. love can be addicting and toxic, just like a drug. no love is worth the mental damage of a toxic relationship. “when people show you who they are, believe them.”
why yes, i did just unashamedly let my team know that i’m dying of lady cramps & will be in bed most of today. my boss returned a sympathetic sad face emoji & nobody made it weird.
periods suck but i’m glad i work for a company i can be honest with ☺️✨
never again will i take water or power for granted. i just got to take my first hot shower in what feels like forever, i feel like a whole new woman 😂😭
hey friends, i’m really sorry i suck at responding & answering my phone & showing up to stuff, i’ve been a dysfunctional level of stressed & depressed lately. thanks for being so patient with me.🥺🖤✨
i have a VERY intense phobia of the ocean. but
@notasockpuppet1
said “ya gotta see this, hold my hand, lessgo” and he did have to re-talk me into it like 3 different times during the process, and i fucking snorkeled today! AND I SAW A GIANT TURTLE SWIMMING! so scary but cool.
