Depressing and violent US news report out of Chesapeake, Va 

Seriously as an extreme extrovert, I should not be contemplating becoming a hermit because of the hate in the world. Another US shooting and more loved ones not coming home.

Good morning!! What is your black Friday tradition? I'm still lying in bed, hoping my body might show me some live today.

With Twitter's collapse, funders should start helping build up federated discourse: supporting development of better security, of moderation aids, of proposals for affordances welcoming to Black Twitter and other communities. Stop thinking top down. Start thinking emergent.

These are my fur babies... Nala and Buster... Princess and the Dog... Nala is saying thank you for her Thanksgiving dinner.

Me: _gets started easily_

Me: _easily finds many folks here I know or enjoy_

Them: "It's just white male tech nerds"
Me: _discovers fairly robust presence of non-white, non-male folks_

Them: "It's set up so it's antiviral"
Me: _sees more interest in my thoughts here than ever on the birdsite_

Going from Twitter to Mastodon is like leaving a loud party to hang out on the stoop with the other misfits and I like it but I don't quite know how to act 👀

I publish on InfoSec.Exchange because my profession has subsumed my entire identity

So this is my Carl. He is my person, and I could not function without his help. I was struggling hard with grief and he just made me feel validated in my feels. My baby girl took this while he danced with me.

This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for all of you helpers.

I’m thankful for the people who have the spark to step in as bystanders and make a change when something isn’t quite fair or just.

I am thankful for the people who invest time and effort in making better community spaces like this one, as well as the conferences and meetups we love.

I am thankful for the people who challenge my comfort zone to tell me about inequity in the world, about my privilege, and who challenge me to grow and be a better human - even when it is hard.

I am thankful for the people who have expanded my worldview and helped me see the scope, variation, and beauty of humanity.

I am thankful for the people who remember to tell others they are valued and cared for.

I’m thankful for the people who make life more fun, and make people laugh on the hard days.

Finally, I’m thankful for the kindness of the community here, and your willingness to see me as a human with foibles, wants, and flaws-and not as a social media page.

A very happy Thanksgiving to you and your families, whether by blood or by heart.
