7 is impressive! I'm waiting for adult gloves to come with this situation as standard, then the gloves can just dangle out of our sleeves when not in use a la babies and toddlers.

I find it so sad and frustrating that shopping for handmade / small batch / ethically made *anything* is a 3 hour research project. Etsy is full of dropshippers, actual handmade stuff gets pushed to page 10 of Google's search results. This sweater might be hand made but 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ where? At what human cost?

Happy October to my Halloween cat, Flagermus (means "bat" in Danish, but she often just gets called.. Moo) 🦇🎃 #ProofOfCat

I particularly enjoyed drawing this one: how having a tracking cookie is like wearing a nametag whilst someone follows you around and takes pictures of what you're doing.

And you might be eating snot, who knows. It's a free.. internet 🤷‍♀️

I put a tracker on my website and realized that my cookie knowledge was a little spotty, so here is a blog post: What are cookies, and how do they work? With many silly illustrations!

(First one since 2018, when I became a technical writer!)

That is very interesting to read. When I was tracking my moods to try and figure out what was wrong with me, I started logging an activity I called "chilling without purpose" because I noticed I was miserable when "relaxing". Guess that was accurate!

It keeps me on my toes. She's not hostile, but her affection is.. subtle. Fleeting. You must earn it.

I had two boys with white patches on their chest too, and they were endlessly cuddly. Yours are so lovely! Look at that handsome little face!

Whenever someone is explaining a technical concept or system in a very serious way, this is what I am imagining (and usually what I will include in the documentation).

It soothes me to imagine databases as cute little bakers. #documentation #comics #illustration

Slowly getting back into blogging - the first one is going to be all about how 🍪 cookies work (because I thought I knew everything, but of course I was a total Jon Snow once I really started digging).

Spending way too much time ✨illustrating it✨ it but LOOK at her! #technicalwriting #illustration

I don't know what it takes to make something like diagrams.net, a tool I use every day and generally like.. but *sometimes*, the way it decides to to draw a connector is based on logic not of this earth. #technicalwriting #documentation #technicaldiagrams
