La naturaleza es hermosa y muy cruel. Los humanos aprendimos a cuidarnos mutuamente, a vivir en comunidad, para protegernos de la crueldad de la naturaleza. Parece que últimamente algunos humanos están eligiendo la crueldad en lugar de lo que nos hace humanos: vivir en sociedad.

For those of us who are increasingly in positions where we cannot count on the rule of law to protect our digital privacy or security, here are some thoughts on how to threat model for your community:
Everyone's security plans and situations will always be different, which is why we often say that security and privacy are a state of mind, not a purchase. But the first step is always taking a look at your community and figuring out what's needed and how to get everyone else on board. Building a Community Privacy Plan

Cis people sure like to do "Monday morning quarterbacking" when it comes to trying to figure out reasons why trans people could ever possibly exist. There's not a gods damned thing you can do to change us into your cookie cutter bullshit and make us into what you want us to be. Oh you can try, and I know some of you get a major hate-on thinking of the pain and suffering you can inflict on us in the process. But we'll still be here. We'll always be here. Fuck you.

Made a stop on the way down to the office today to grab a quick one on one with The Pacific. Sometimes it’s helpful to break down a particularly challenging problem by staring at the ocean until the waves become your only constant and the ocean reminds you how small everything else could be. At that point the solution becomes a mechanical process of breaking it apart into smaller problems until they disappear between the waves. I don’t know what it’s like to try and do science or engineering without an ocean nearby, but I’m glad not to need to know.

“…the pushback has been remarkable. A large number of agents are refusing to fill out the questionnaire [to identify agents and other personnel who had worked on the Jan. 6 investigations]. The FBI Agents Association has sent around model language for agents who refuse to cooperate. At the management level, the leadership of a number of field offices has made clear that they will not take administrative action against those who do not self-report.” #Heroes
