this Galentine’s / Palentine’s/ Valentine’s Day, do you want to learn the secret to everlasting love?

my secret is writing a book ✨ because a book or creative project will never let you down or cheat on you or leave you or get tired of you rambling about your special interests for hours and hours, in fact that is the whole point and if you create for yourself, you can be beautiful weirdos together, forever 💞

#cybersecurity zealots often shame humans for writing down their passwords, but as someone who just had to excavate the digital remains of a loved one who died suddenly:

*please* write down your credentials somewhere a trusted human can find them, especially your phone passcode and any primary passwords (like for email accounts, password manager, etc.)

the humans who care about you will need that access for many reasons; a "badass" threat model will only add helplessness to their grief

I hate the gaslighting by modern e-commerce sites.

You triple confirm you don’t check the “sign me up for marketing emails” box.

Said emails inevitably arrive in your inbox.

When you click unsubscribe, “I never signed up” isn’t even a reason you can select. At best, it’s “I don’t recall signing up.”

The inability to say No feels like it’s trending towards ubiquity in tech and I am not here for it.
