Ten years ago, @puffin-lady.bsky.social and I went to the Chinese marriage license office, got married, and surprised our friends at a dinner that was intended to celebrate our first year as a couple.
It's been the greatest ten years of my life. I love you, Anna!

As a big fan of musicals and French language, I have been purposefully avoiding watching Les Miz. I’m certain it will hit me as hard as Hamilton did, and I have way too many projects right now to have songs constantly running in my head.

So I had my first online French class today, and met my fellow student, a beautiful older lady who is learning French so she can speak to her grandson in France. This is the kind of person I want to be when I grow up 🥹

This one is not for sale, but I did just finish it. Sometimes, you gotta make something just for yourself.

When I watched “Notre Dame de Paris“ twenty years ago, I thought that Esmeralda should have chosen Quasimodo.
Watching it now, I think she should have chosen therapy. In fact, they all look like they can use some therapy.

I’m sick and tired of articles on how to be a “good people manager”.
Treat your team like coworkers, or treat them like a family. Distance yourself from work emotionally or be heartbroken when your direct is struggling.
Do whatever works best for you, in your org, with your people.

#userresearch has more to do with research than with users. It’s great learn what users think. But most of the researcher’s work is about analyzing the feedback, evaluating solutions, and getting a buy-in from your product.
We are the scientists pitching for funding, not the scientists in a lab.

Yes, I did just purchase a copy of Le Hobbit. Yes, I do have a large French vocabulary with DOZENS of words. Am I being stupid or ambiguous? The time will tell.

Can’t focus on my French class after realizing the French title for The Hobbit is Le Hobbit, with both ‘h’ and ‘t’ silent. Spent a good twenty minutes marveling at Bilbo Sacquet, Cul-de-Sac, la Montagne Solitaire, and other wonders of transcreation. #french #languages
