@chris I had hokas for the past year, and I'm mildly regretting going back to new balance shoes. They're just not the same. 😔

@gnomon Unfortunately, this is the current reality for so many people. I advocate for the right tool for the right job, and I'm not sure if there's a long term future for me in this industry.

On a bus on the highway.

Me: Vancouver Island looks kind of like Northern Ontario, but with mountains in the distance.

A minute later.

Me: Holy shit, that's not a hill. Those trees are freaking tall.

@inthehands No, this is near the Alberta/BC border, I think on the Alberta side.

@skinnylatte On my way home from my year in China, I had a 13 hour layover in Abu Dhabi. Couldn't leave the airport without a visa, unfortunately, so I hung out in the airport lounge.

That was the first time I had halloumi. After a year in central China (extremely limited cheese selection), I was in heaven.

Ever since I learned to fold fitted sheets, I still get a great sense of joy when I manage to get one to line up pretty well.

It's not even that hard, but it feels like sorcery until you know the trick.

Never change, Fedi, never change.

@chris Wow. Those are fighting words.

@chris I love a hot freshly made tortilla. It's a fantastic chew to couple with whatever's inside.

Cold shitty mass produced tortillas, I wouldn't disagree with you.

@Fragglemuppet The brand is "Scotties" in Canada, but I'm not sure if it's the same elsewhere.

@Fragglemuppet Really good tissues. I only buy the best tissues now because the other ones are so rough on my face.

Other than that, lots of water and moisturize. Lip balm + lotion or vaseline.

@skinnylatte You got this! You always have.

The conversations I have with women in tech spaces are completely different in mixed ones. When a man joins a group women in conversation, the dynamic goes cold.
