Any lgbtq lawyers go to the Lavendar Law conference? I haven’t been in about 10 years, was thinking of going this summer. I don’t have a fancy job though or live on the coasts, and I felt like it was mostly big law, and felt out of place. I’d like to go to the career fair.

It’s fun but it’s important to manage expectations. I don’t think it’s really a good place to find a job. But I’ve found it to be a good way to strengthen client relationshipsz

I went last year and had a great time. I live in the midwest and am not in big law. I think the career fair is mostly for students, so I’d focus more on networking.

Thanks! Work will pay for the conference fees but not my travel so just trying to decide if I want to spend the $

Yes I’ve been before.

I haven’t been in a while just wondered what it’s like now - thanks for the info! I’d like a new in house role, and need to be networking. And yea good party scene lol I was hungover at past ones the whole time, but don’t drink these days.

Let’s say I want to get into pentesting and CEH - where would you advise starting if my experience is minimal? I know my way around things but not much scripting or too heavy network experience. Downloaded Kali on a VM to get some tools, but let’s say you could advise me of a training course/package to start with - what would it be, and from where? My current job is going to let us pick something, and while my answer would be to go to DEFCON 😂 that’s obviously not gonna happen this year.

I dated someone 15 years older than me and he always lectured me about what did I do wrong. From small things like where to squeeze ketchup on my plate to big things like how to live my life and pivot to a career that his “friends” do so well in right now. Almost everything I did or said he’d follow with some criticism. I ghosted him after another lunch date full of such lectures.

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine. I'm listening to one of my favorite musicals, "Ragtime", specifically the song "He Wanted to Say". Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.

I grew up in a nuclear family away from extended relatives who were never really close. Parents were either emotionally unavailable or distant. All I've wanted for myself was a big loving family to call my own.. my parents are unaccepting of my sexuality & my partners family is also quite fucked up so she's isn't super close to them either. Honestly this sucks & it feels like I'll never have a huge supportive family I've wanted & craved for.

Well 😒 accidentally gave up my rose on hinge to the wrong dude. Was saving it for “the one.” Now this guy keeps texting me. He seems okay - I figure I should prob at least do a coffee date. (Or, Maybe a make out session and some heavy petting in the corner at starbucks? Is that still a thing for first coffee dates?) Will also wear the cologne im buying this weekend! I don’t know how long it takes for my rose to grow back on the app.
