In the words of Nikita Gill, “Some days I am more wolf than woman and I am still learning how to stop apologizing for my wild.”

@vastidity My doberman is a giant baby and will hide behind you in the event of danger... or chihuahuas... or cats

@Neilio6 I know people use dogs to "protect them" but I could never let a dog be put in danger. I love their awareness and how they alert you, and that is all I need, I will take it from there.💙💯

Me in the future on my first night alone at my house with acres of land, going to inspect what weird noise I heard.

@vastidity Decision paralysis

When your ADHD is wanting you to do several interests at the same time and you cannot decide or commit to any of them

@vastidity @Collab_Seth Not this one 😅

@Collab_Seth The struggle is easier if shared🥺

If they did a "That 70's Show" today ...where they basically went back 20 years, like they did in the 90s, it would simply be stuff happening in the year 2005😭

@_p0r_ @brysonbort I would be happy to!

@APhoenixinflame @brysonbort I might ba able to help her out, cannyou have her contact me via dm?

Interviewed with a woman who is writing a book on women in cyber and their career experiences. She's looking for 100 women to interview.

@_p0r_ @brysonbort No she'd like to have global representation

@APhoenixinflame @brysonbort Is location important? I have a few ladies in my staff, but located in nl

Solve all my problems and just delete Sharepoint 🤷🏼‍♀️

@vastidity @llamalluv Yeah.... I've learned a lot in this category.

My favorite ADHD comment reply😂 Only neurodivergent brains will find this endearing, like... "Ok... maybe they really DO love and like me with that kind of focus and attention" 😂💯❤️ @llamalluv

@Infosec_Taylor No fucking way. In the airport? No, that's the beginning of my time.

Uh, absolutely not. The minute I'm in the airport to leave, I'm putting on my hoodie, earbuds, and busting out my Switch. Please leave me alone. I have decades of experience and a great network. Folks like this professor are jerks.

@joshmcgoo Most procedures including several types of biopsies I've had and HSG were with no meds at all. Gyn even said the HSG is incredibly painful but "there is nothing we can do".

So IUD insertion is normally just like "take a motrin after"? No nerve block, benzo, nothing?

@gabsmashh It is much easier to do if you're in one org for a while than by switching. I used to change jobs every couple of years. But staying instead helped me more on this.

@gabsmashh I worked as a team lead first. Found allies in leadership the org who will advocate for me. Created value in my current role. Attend various leadership training activities. Applied to roles I was invited to apply to. It isn't easy.

those in manager- or director-level roles, how did you position yourself to move into that type of role? i have been working hard to break into one of those roles and just keep spinning my wheels

@shehackspurple I would explain that you have no bandwidth for tasks outside of your current responsibilities. I'd suggest a person you feel is qualified to perform the task or offer to train in the needed skill set. Setting boundaries at work is scary at first but it gets easier with practice.

How do you "say no" at work? People keep telling me to "just say no" if I'm overwhelmed, or to say "ok, what do you want to take off my plate then?" But what if the things on my plate are extremely important to me? Any tips for me?

@coleens_ I was gone for a couple of years and it kind of feels like that for me also. I don't know if I have the energy or will to do anything about it. I'm tired. I work too much. I have a life outside of it. Only so many hours in a day.

@shenetworks Me

Who's going to Def con?

@AccidentalCISO I love that idea.

I need to make a list of people that I want to stay in touch with and set reminders for myself to check the list and reach out. Not knowing what to say makes it hard, but I have to push through that.

@IanColdwater Yeah, I'm glad they haven't done that here. It is hard enough for me to summon the executive function and anxiety control to go in to a store. Add more barriers and all my orders will be for pick up.
