Maybe it's the very very very long week or maybe it's the altitude and in-flight beverages talking... but I wanted to say how much I appreciate and care about you all. 🫂🫂

I like the Fediverse and am glad to be here... and I'll be reaching out to many of the others left behind and asking them to join us here soon. 👍👍

Thank you for being a part of my family, all. 💚💚

P.S. - This is my script of advice for those making the migration, feel free to send it to others...

Selfie of me in my happy place... an airplane window seat (I do generally prefer the port side of the aircraft, but starboard will do in a pinch) Selfie of me in an airport standing next to an elevator. I'm wearing my travel backpack because I'm on the road. I am quietly happy. Selfie of me in my happy place... seated on an airplane. I was the first passenger to board, and we're about to be at 35,000' in a world of bliss and endless possibilities. Selfie of me very close to my happy place: seated in a comfy chair, minutes away from boarding a plane to whisk me... somewhere.

Feels like many of my followers could use these images in some wonderful memes. Or in flirting. Or you can just be happy knowing that the Deaf community tends to be very queer-positive and that even "mainstream" apps teach LGBTQ+ terms, etc.

But also, yeah, I know some of you -- even hearies -- are gonna be dropping these screenshots in non-ASL conversations, heh. 🤟🤟

A screenshot of an ASL tutorial app, where the pictured individual is tapping their chin with their index finger as their thumb is extended, making their hand into an "L" shape. The user is asked to "choose the correct sign" and the possible definitions are "Laugh" "Lesbian" "Girl" and "Smile" The correct answer is Lesbian. A screenshot of an ASL tutorial app where the user is asked to "fill in the gap with the right word" and the sentence in questions is "Me _____, you, too?" Possible definitions are "Gay" "Lesbian" and "Straight" The correct answer is Lesbian.

A screenshot of an ASL tutorial app which has instructed the user on the following phrases: "Straight" "Gay" "Lesbian" "Divorced" "She my girlfriend" "My parents divorced" "Saturday have child++ party" "Me Lesbian you too?" "You Straight or Gay Which?" "You have Girlfriend or Boyfriend?"

JFC 🙃🙃

Every year at the end of @defcon@defcon.social , People I'm with always want to insist on going to see this overwrought insane crazy dumb bullshit.

MeowWolf's installations are absolutely amazing.

Once.

Maybe twice.

Beyond that, I cannot actually comprehend or remotely fathom the number of drugs I would have to eat to want to be here voluntarily for free... let alone paying to get in.

Hi... I'm old now. Deal with it.

DEFCON attendees: "Hey, I've heard that things in Vegas are a little more expensive this year!"

me: "Really? How so?"

Me at 10pm during Black Hat: "So many responsibilities, so much hard work, I'm so grateful to go to bed early and get good rest!"...

Me at 2am during Black Hat: "Welp, that didn't go according to plan at all." 😂😂

Photograph of a man and a woman in the Mandalay Bay hotel near the elevators to upper floors. She is holding a cocktail and wearing a pretty dress and has her arm around the man who is wearing rainbow striped bathing trunks, pink sunglasses, and inexplicably has a large pool floatie around his hips. The man is naturally giving a thumbs up with a grin.
