The three phases of womanhood:

“I’m a mouse, duh.”

“I’m the COOL coworker.”

“Fuck it, I’m an anglerfish”

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.

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!

So incredibly honored and humbled by the kind words about my work. 🩷

Despite what my certificate from today says, I am *not* a cybersecurity expert. So you don’t HAVE to listen to me. But, c’mon guys… please don’t give your biometric data to effing Steak ‘n Shake. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Iris Apfel died on March 1st of this year. I messaged my tattoo artist the day her passing was announced. He books 6-9 months out. Yesterday was finally “Iris Day.”

I hope we all can live as long, as joyfully, and as authentically. May we all have style. 👑

Working on a paper for my PhD Social Stats class. We get to use our own area of research interest for each assignment; which is how I came to create this lil beauty right here. E.L. James might be a terrible writer; but she spawned a veritable kink science renaissance.

Hey Stef, do you cosplay?

No… I dress like Persephone pretty much every day, why?

Thanksgiving is over! That means it’s time to bust out the awesome holiday shirt I designed.

Take it from a therapist:

Marriage is about compromise.

It’s about celebrating the mundane wins that sustain a relationship.

It’s about commitment.

It’s buying 50 AirWick Plug-Ins when you realize that the first scent you & your spouse have EVER agreed on is a limited edition for the holidays.

I did a shocking amount of dot-matrix Print Shop design work on that tiny lil screen!

I did the thing!! You’re awesome. Thank you for this!

I’m making a Sexology Starter Pack for anyone who’s interested in following some of the coolest voices in Sex Therapy & Research. Here’s the link, if you wanna follow. Shoot me a message if you’d like to be added to the list!

Months ago, I found out I had $$ waiting for me in our state’s Unclaimed Money fund. I filed the claim and decided I was only going to be *partly* responsible with it when it came. My mini-splurges arrived yesterday and I couldn’t be more excited.

Behold: the two vibes of Stefani, in jewelry form:

What can I say… he brought the receipts. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m lucky @jwgoerlich.bsky.social loves me, because his talk for @bsides312.bsky.social just got waitlisted… while his tech adjacent sexpert wife was asked to be their keynote.

Me, watching the Schiaparelli S/S24 show and trying to convince @jwgoerlich.bsky.social that I need this dress to wear for my first RSA talk.

(Oh- I’m speaking at RSA this year!)
