Screen cap of a spam email that reads “starting soon! Candlelight chat” then goes on to say my protection plan is expired.
Awwwww… it’s so sweet of the spammers to want to wine & dine me before they steal all my data. 🥰🥰🥰
I'm so excited for the upcoming publication of the International Handbook of Sexual Compulsivity! @stefanigoerlich.bsky.social and I wrote a chapter on kink affirmative treatment of people struggling with sexual compulsivity for this text edited by @silvaneves.bsky.social!
A comment from FB that says “probably phishing for your email. Don’t DP anything.”
I love it when I find solid cybersecurity advice in the wild.
Congratulations to @stefanigoerlich.bsky.social for her recent publication! #BDSM #kink #kinksky link.springer.com/article/10.1...
I see you, red triangle posters, “globalize the intifada” sharers.
You’re not woke. You’re just complicit.
Yesterday, it was suggested that I hide our menorah in a cabinet while our new fridge was delivered. I was told it might not be safe to be visibly Jewish with strangers in the house. I scoffed at the idea, but I put it away until they left.
I’m not scoffing anymore.

The perfect gift for the therapists in your life just hit the book shelves.
This is the book I wrote with @stefanigoerlich.bsky.social, explaining cybersecurity concepts and impacts, directly in the language of clinicians.

Giving my midterm presentation on the Epistomology of Technology tonight; so of course I’m rocking my QR tank, Clippy earrings and 8bit hourglass hair clip. #weloveatheme
A picture of the mouse costume from Mean Girls, a pic of a teacher dressed as Ms Frizzle, and a pic of Stefani in a sequined anglerfish costume.
The three phases of womanhood:
“I’m a mouse, duh.”
“I’m the COOL coworker.”
“Fuck it, I’m an anglerfish”
Does anyone have a Sora invite code they can send my way? I’m trying to prove a point in one of my PhD classes.
An anonymized photo of a Target cashier wearing a t-shirt that says “speak English” on it.
Apparently overt xenophobia is dress code compliant at my local Target. The family in line right behind me? Was not English-speaking. 😡
Yes, I said something.
Yes, this timeline sucks.
Three! I shared it with @jwgoerlich.bsky.social too.
Proving my point:
He had a typo in the first draft of this post when he showed it to me. 👩🎓
Posts like this are why you’re one of my fav social friends.
Talking about today’s Rapture news and I find out that @jwgoerlich.bsky.social unironically watched the Left Behind movies in the early aughts w/ *no* religious context at all… and kept waiting for the aliens to arrive & explain where all the people went.
My “preacher’s grandkid” mind is reeling.
The hyperbaric chamber death that happened here in MI is literal nightmare fuel.
Hey, question:
Who do I know that knows people at HushMail? Ideally someone with decision making authority on the legal/compliance side of things.
Bin fill of giveaway packs
Close up of giveaway packs
I made 350 “cybersecurity starter packs” to give out at the ATSA national conference this month. Each one has a sticker, a usb condom, a camera cover, and a card with 10 easy security habits. I’ll also be presenting on Tuesday the 16th- stop by and say hello!
Yep- that’s exactly what I’ve been screaming about.
<sigh>

LeGuin wrote about the desire for 'unassailable safety' as one of the deep roots of evil, and I think about that a lot.
There's a direct line from "no kink at Pride" and "no sex in movies and books unless it Serves The Plot" to payment processors feeling completely empowered to censor art globally
Radish

(These are the only two that feel right for you in my mind)
Very niche question:
Who in the #infosec community 1) plays #mahjongg and 2) is gonna be at #Blackhat? I’d love to set up some cocktail bar pickup games while we’re in town.
Two humanoid androids embrace against a soft background of binary on the cover of a book titled Securing Sexuality: Emerging Issues at the Intersection of Intimacy and Technology.
Oh it’s happening!! And you can preorder it here:

Securing Sexuality: the book. Tech drives how we meet, date, marry, raise kids. Attacks on it undermines our agency and privacy. This book, written with @stefanigoerlich.bsky.social, helps therapist, coaches, activists think like punk, act like a hacker, and take back control over our private lives.
Stefani Goerlich giving the closing keynote at #BSidesDetroit. “We’re confusing information sharing with intimacy and surveillance with love.”
Stefani in a pink sweater standing next to a graffitied wall. There is a quote that reads “Goerlich has emerged as an important voice in the field of sex therapy…a guide to help vanilla people and their kinky partners look across the divide with curiosity and empathy, to understand and affirm their own erotic selves, and to create bridges toward a mutually satisfying sex life.” By Caroline Maykut from the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy.
So incredibly honored and humbled by the kind words about my work. 🩷
