I got my nails done for @defcon@defcon.social borrowing the vibe from this year’s logo. 💅

I'm really happy and excited to share that @alethedenis@bird.makeup asked me to help her grow and improve @defcon@defcon.social DEF CON Groups as the Director of Operations!
If I do my job right, I'll mostly be in the background working projects with her and supporting the team interacting with POCs.
Full disclosure: I started back in March/April, but wasn't sure if I was going to stay on. When I volunteered for DCG back in 2016-ish, I got super burned out. The "leadership" was anything but, and I got tired of my work being attributed to them / propping them up.
Just a reminder that this week is your last chance to submit an entry for the DEF CON Groups Sticker Contest!
Submit here: https://bit.ly/dcg-sticker
Voting will take place on-site during con in W328 during #DEFCON #DEFCON34 @defcon@defcon.social
I wrote a little stream-of-consciousness post for the eve of @defcon@defcon.social . "Starlight and Ruminations” https://scribbles.page/ember-cocoa/posts/starlight-and-rumination-on-def-con-eve
Curious about what's going on at the DEF CON Groups (DCG) Community? @alethe@infosec.exchange has a run-down here: https://buttondown.com/dcgroups/archive/def-con-34/
I'll be there every day of con starting at noon and then Alethe and I are giving a talk on the Community Stage about "The State of DCG"! #DEFCON #DEFCON34

Happy Monday before eclipse season and one week-ish* until Vegas! 😭🫠
*I get in on Tuesday afternoon ahead of #DEFCON
Will punk/ska/pop punk be enough to get through it all? Will she get distracted and start to unpack and catalogue all of her records, ignoring everything else? The answers to these questions and more! Eventually…
I’m trying to get the music to motivate me to declutter and clean the office. 😤
Not to toot my own horn, but I went to Powell's yesterday and walked out with only the two books I specifically went there to buy.

@kevinthomas@defcon.social @alethe@infosec.exchange @defcon@defcon.social HECK YEAH!! We cannot wait! 🙌🏻
As we’re getting closer to con, I wanna know: What do you want to see from the @defcon@defcon.social Groups (DCG) team in the upcoming year? Like, seriously. What could we do that would be helpful to y'all or show the most support from DEF CON?
And what do you hope to get out of visiting the DEF CON Groups area at con?

@cannibal@infosec.exchange I had like 10 minutes to go in, grab the two specific books I knew I was looking for, and then go meet up with a friend for lunch. 😂

@johnduggins@infosec.exchange lmao dude. I legit RAN in, went to the info desk, asked for directions, and left. If I looked left or right, it would've been over lmao
My emotional support notebooks-two of which have been actually used. 😭🫠
I had some time this morning, so instead of looking for a random #tarot spread to use for tonight’s full moon, I made my first one based on the where Leo (rising) and Aquarius (sun) fall in my birth chart in honor of the eclipse season and nodal transits in those signs.

Still going strong! All of my craft and hobby stuff is organized and stored.
I got slightly derailed by randomly deciding I needed to get rid of ALL STICKERS (price tags, labels, etc.) before putting stuff away, but we’re back on track. 🫠
It turns out the tone arm on my record player (Fluance RT85) was busted during the move. It would’ve cost around what I paid for it to repair it and take 6-8 weeks before I got it back.
So anyway, I got a new toy today (Rega Planar 1)! 😅
