Took my son shoe shopping and found one their benches using my shin. Can't say I recommend using this technique.

Had to stay calm and walk it off while feeling like Phoebe inside 😅😭

I can only see the funny side in a company removing my "life-time" access to a course as I'm about to hit 40... Do they know something I don't?! 🤣

Happy 2025 to everyone! This is my favorite Dad Joke day. I greeted with kids with "I haven't had a hug since last year" only to be met by an eye roll from my teenager 😂

A company isn't a family.

Parents don't fire their kids for low performance or furlough them in hard times.

A better vision for a workplace is a community—a place where people bond around shared values, feel valued as human beings, and have a voice in decisions that affect them.

2 more weeks before taking some leave. Want to keep that ENERGY up for the final push! Lots of music, sunshine and water.

Some days I need the reminder, some days the reminder hits me out of nowhere 🥹

"And I know it feels so hopeless
And I know how close you are to the edge right now
So I wrote this song to say, things won't always be this way, no
It's just a bad day, not a bad life"

Today is one of those days where it doesn't feel like my #ADHD meds are doing anything at all.

On the flip-side, it _really_ makes me appreciate the days where they do help.

Where do bad rainbows go?

To prism. It's a light sentence, but it gives them time to reflect.

Okay I'm officially having more fun on bluesky than I am on x now, and as such, have created accounts for my projects here, which you can follow if you're interested! 🙏

Ahhhhhhh, look how adorable they are!
Two Little Owls. New Zealand. These were only babies but lots of fun to photograph. #birds #owls #newzealand

After stepping away from social media for a few years now, I'm pretty surprised by just how "us vs them" my timelines seem to be.

BlueSky is still pretty empty for me, I want to connect with new people and inject some positivity! Anyone from #Wellington / #NewZealand you'd recommend I connect with?

Watched "The Abyss" for the first time tonight.

It's aged very very well. So well, in fact, that it feels scarily accurate with everything going on in the world.

This week I'll be starting my journey into the world of #BJJ. A few months before I turn 40 is probably a late start but if not now, when? 😂

Realized I could pair my airpods to the Nvidia shield! Now I can watch movies at night without worrying the rest of the family 😍 Also, the Alien movie sounds excellent!

Relaxing in the shade to take a break from everything. Listening to an audio book and enjoying the view. Placing more value on self care has been my lesson of the year.
