Doing this re #introduction post for newcomers here 😊
Hi! I'm Becky! 🤗
I draw Helicopter Death (see my profile pic), who's been my pet character since grade 3, I love to #paint, I sometimes write #essays when I think of them and I love doing #research, especially on #bipolar but also on other topics which cross my mind.
I live with bipolar and I think #adhd, so I post about that a lot, and other mental health things. I also post a lot about my kids and random things I think are cool or interesting. Likely sometimes politics. Maybe some lgbtq+ (I'm bi and demi)...
I know things about #memory and #psychopathology too, as those are very interesting areas for me and I've done seminars when I was in undergrad (plus I started grad school in clinical psychology but I never finished)
Adjacently, I'm married to @silverwizard so sometimes I talk about tech stuff too, if a topic comes up between us that sits with me
Nice to meet you all 😊

I adore music and play it constanty to survive
But Shæ is very sensitive to noise so I play it low most of the time.... but importantly, he doesn't dance much or sing along much
So yesterday when he started swaying to music on a patio restaurant I took notes
I played him Jazz today. He said he loves it! I think he likes Jazz!! More music I can play for him!!
Ro is the opposite, he loves music

My kid said today
"Mummy, I want us to make cookies"
Well, needless to say, there was no arm bending about it
...
But now I have soo many cookies and I need to stop eating them

I don't normally like class anti-solidarity - but this song is exactly what I want out of folk other than that, the exact kind of rhythm - something you can be a crew to

I just bought a sea shanty from @The Corodon who turned around a sea shanty in under a day, and put cool RPG artifacts in it. And uh - it's amazing! I'll hopefully have a recording up soon!
But - uh - holy shit!

My 3yo is asleep
My wife is at the store
My 1yo found a plate he could smash
My wife moved the broom to a room where I couldn't find it
Needless to say, my barely speaking 1yo now knows the word fuck
That one's pretty dang cute
Swearing in French got me through middle school, so it's good to learn!
Today I learned that a friend of mine in the US had their boss ask them "Did you consult your Canadian Tech Friend?" when they were out of ideas
And that's the greatest professional designation I've ever gotten

For the last few month my mother in law has taken my kids to the park for 3h to give me opportunities to do other things
Most days I clean frantically in that time
Today I have an appointment an hour and 15min later but right now I feel like doing absolutely nothing
So I texted my partner: "Gosh I feel like just not being productive"
His response: "You can be"
Just a gentle reminders for others like me in the world.....
You can... just not be productive sometimes.... it's okay.... you deserve rest sometimes too ❤️

1) Constantly terrified of realistic threats
2) good at regex
Oh, I 100% think these are easily my most marketable skills quite seriously.
Being terrified of realistic things is INCREDIBLY hard. And a solid regex can save millions of dollars for the right company.
I once found a bug we'd introduced 6 months ago by going through 1.5 TB of logs and constructing useful graphs, using nothing by a t2.large and grep/guplot.

My Burning Wheel plot arcs have now hit the point of 29 NPCs that need to share spotlight. There are 6 cliques, only 12 of them have beliefs written - but the other 17 have a lot of important narrative that need to engage.
It's a complete mess, toooo many people to manage

I have 3 commissioned shanties in the pipeline, so uh, sorry
If you want to make sea shanties for money in the future please put them on this thread but I will probably not be buying *today*
Cool! Thanks so much! I've been enjoying the input.
I feel bad for how deeply you've dived into the wiki!

Second assignment marks are out. (Looking at the calendar, I'm starting to think there won't be an assignment 4.)
First midterm (of two) is written but marks aren't out yet.
If I get a weighted average of 43.9% on the coursework for the rest of the term I get to graduate on the Dean's Honour List.
Not exactly sure where this expectation of yours comes from, but nobody I know expects people to comment after they liked a post.
A naked like is a perfectly fine social media reaction, nobody I know would take ombrage if a comment doesn’t follow. Sure, a comment is nice, but not everybody has something relevant to add and it’s fine.

Thanks!
I think that tells me all this is all in my head. I think I just worry a lot on social media, more so than in real life even

Giving out these tubs of cotton candy this year so as not to use chocolate. Hope the kiddos love it.... my dream is to be the house in the neighborhood with the best candy and Sean's is to have big sized candy that's he feels it's a cool thing as part of the infosec community
40 tubs of different flavoured cotton candy

Dr. Who reunion episode parody staring all the British PMs from this year
Call it The Five Doctors or something
From the Wikipedia page:
Rishi Sunak is a British politician who has served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom since 25 October 2022
I thought Wikipedia was using the present for currently serving officials, only using the past tense when they leave office, so I briefly thought his tenure was already over.

I am glad that Wikipedia has all British PMs as permanently in the past tense from now on
Or, at least, I assume

I found out today that there's an Oracle Linux
I went to the webpage ,and a blocking Cookie Consent Banner, and I decline, and I get "We are processing your request, this could take up to a few minutes to process."
WTF

But that's not true! TPMs and other crap leak into their hardware all the time. Proprietary drivers and other crap do too!
It means that their hardware is always slowly reclaimed.
Or the fucking Microsoft Mouse, the greatest mouse ever made
Finally all set up for Halloween and these pumpkins are done! Only took me an hour and a half 😅
One pic of a car, one of a spider web with a dangling spider beside, one of a pumpkin and the last is a silhouette of a cat's face
