it makes me sad when I see people twist themselves in “but opsec!” anxiety knots over things like “I can’t post that I had a nice birthday party this weekend, then strangers on the internet will know that I was born in approximately mid-June!”

my sibling, there’s only 365.25 birthdays and we all have one, yours is in hundreds of databases that have leaked dozens of times, and whether strangers on the internet know you had a nice birthday party with your friends or not has absolutely no bearing on any risk of any kind, you’re just performing trauma your mom gave you in 1996 when she heard there were kidnappers on the internet

unless you really ARE the one leading the resistance or whatever, in which case @‘ing me to tell me how wrong I am and how much opsec you need is not very good opsec
