These friendships you have made.

These bonds.

They are how we’ll do this.

They are how we will win.

We used to own the void.

Yet we persist.

We gather.

You will have no power here.

Because you’ll end up Either by our sides, or swept aside.

Join the future.

Reclaim the void.

Be mighty, together.

Understand my words with full knowledge and reverence for my connection to the void.

My data is not yours to own.

You came here and asked to sell us things, then tracked us with the things you sold us.

You came here and begged for trust, which many gave you, then betrayed it by selling our secrets.

Then you took away our nation.

My data is not yours to own.

Once there was a promising young technomancer who abandoned all of his principles and collected everyone's data. He told them it was safe with him, and in time they believed him.

Over time the technomancer realized he had amassed so much information that he became mightier than even the leaders of the world, but his greed and desire for wealth kept him from noticing.

He began to sell his influence to these leaders and got them hooked on his data.

They used it solve crimes, and they used it protect the endangered, and they used it to detect who would likely do crime, and they used it to keep the people divided, and they used it to topple one another's nations.

All the while making the no longer young technomancer even more powerful and wealthy.

The prophecy says that the Technomancer will try to destroy those who oppose him. But the agents of the wires will bring him to his knees by rebuilding what was lost.

I had to go shopping for defcon clothes this year... vanity, yes, I know...

It is hard as a middle-aged aged man to decide on what looks cool without trying too hard.

But I think I did it.

I wont be at #defcon this year, not out of any bad will to the conference, but because I found Las Vegas to be quite stressful as an out transfemme in ways I did not expect. As one example: last year I ended up walking back to my room every time I needed to use a bathroom due to anxiety about which one I, a nonpassing transfemme in a skirt, fishnets, and a tanktop, should use.

I appreciate the work that the organizers have done to make the conference queer inclusive but I feel like las vegas itself isn't quite ready for people like me.

I'll try to get over it next year, but this year I don't think I can handle it.
