*flirting* So what’s your deepest insecurity?

mutually assured flourishing

A few months ago I hosted a cybersecurity "Ugh Day" (a group chore day) for my friends. The format worked so well I think everyone should steal it: 1. List the accounts/devices that would be most devastating to lose… bank, email, phone, etc. 2. For each one, find its “weakest link” an attacker could use to get in. 3. Turn those into a todo list and fix them. We found things like:
- someone was using their phone without a password. and their phone had unrestricted access to email and 2fa. meaning if they lost their phone someone could steal everything. 
- someone was using as their recovery email an insecure Hotmail account made at age 10 - someone was still using as their ex lover’s email as a recovery email So much low hanging fruit to fix! I think a lot of people feel dread and avoidance around personal security, doing this together really helped.

it’s an excellent time to weave resilience into your communities, friendships, families

my writing process is: 1. i have an idea and let it simmer in the back of my mind for a few years 2. at some point the muse gets fed up and demands several months of my life 3. voice-transcribe all my ideas into a google doc 4. ask Claude to turn the transcription notes into an essay 5. get irrationally upset at how much I hate Claude’s essay. scrap it 6. go line-by-line, telling Claude what I actually wanted each note to say 7. copy the sentence I just typed to Claude back into my google doc 8. eventually it’s an essay 9. (sometimes) publish!

There was one night at Treeweek where I thought…fuck it, I’m just gonna fully relax and stop inhibiting my cozy vibe. Then every time I sat down somewhere, the people in my vicinity would almost immediately melt into a cuddle puddle. It happened four times! In weird places! A staircase, a loud techno dance floor, a hallway … Is this 🦋 soft power?

I’m playing @Prigoose’s twitter war game. Finding it cool it how changes my behavior here It’s like Priya encoded her approach to twitter into a game, and by playing I get to try it on without having to think too hard about it

Scootering down the canal in my favorite fall coat, with a guitar on my back feels like playing Ananta: The Video Game I think I need a little theme song

I’m so pumped I finally found a guitar teacher I resonate with. I can literally feel myself expanding every few minutes during the hour lesson, and I leave every session deeply inspired 🤯 I’m so in awe someone could mentor me in this way.

by the way…I can work now! I’ll do some more legible signaling later. I just wanted to share with my mutuals for now, in case you stumble upon an ananta-shaped hole :)
