TFW you stop what you're writing to dramatically roll your eyes at your own damnable verbosity. 🙄

@plaindocs No first-hand recommendations, but here’s a couple folks I follow on Instagram: taraobrien.co/about soofiya.com behance.net/chiarameloni/i… elenikalorkoti.com (but she’s in, like, The New Yorker, so might be a bit out of budget 😉)

TFW, you order a takeaway burger toward the end of the night, and it comes with The Bits!! ✨🍟✨

@jcolman @amelia_granger Obviously, this is vital information for anyone who wants to be a productive member of British society. 😐

Just some casual things I am expected to MEMORIZE for my Life In the UK test next week. This is literally part of a government test to determine my visa status. These are not even remotely the worst ones - I can’t even keep track anymore.

@scribblingfox @casskhaw 😳😳😳

@lebreeze @jmfryan Very impressive! Go team! 👏

@OBrienEditorial @jmfryan I was called into action to help with stickers, a gear assembly and tying the string (which was a pain in the arse) 🏗️

Woken up by a knock to the head followed by “go to the office and ask the man to give you money for toys.”

@jmfryan @lebreeze Or did you mean 🤩🤩🤩? 😉

@OBrienEditorial @lebreeze 😍

@jmfryan @lebreeze The Horizon Zero Dawn tall neck!! (It may have been on my wishlist for a while…)

@OBrienEditorial @lebreeze What did you get? I must know!

@jmfryan @lebreeze For the record? This is Emin’s fault.

@jmfryan @lebreeze I respect this kid’s priorities: Spending time with Dad? Nah. Sending Dad off to the Code Mines so I can get a new set of Legos? Absolutely.

@jmfryan @lebreeze Tactical and cruel. I respect it.

@OBrienEditorial @lebreeze To make things worse, I sent you these links (knowing you are a sucker for words), and then immediately went to sleep myself.

@jmfryan @lebreeze (Excellent share, though, this is amazing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣)

@jmfryan @lebreeze And now you’re making me read in Comic Sans!? 😱 Geez. I need to go to bed. …so I can get up in the morning, go to the office, and ask the man for money to buy toys.

@jmfryan @lebreeze Jack. This is too real. It is 11pm, I cannot bear this level of realness. 🥲🙃🫠

@OBrienEditorial @lebreeze Now you've reminded me of this which is one of my favourite things stilldrinking.org/programming-su…

@Katstodian_ @ArielRobinson1 @ZelWms Um, yes please, me too!!

@ArielRobinson1 @ZelWms Also me!

I am reading a romance novel where one of the main characters is allegedly a technical writer, and my guys, I cannot.

Hi! 👋 This is still true! 💯 Bye! 😘

I just went by a sign that read “Norwood Exiles Cricket Club,” and now I’m gleefully imagining the tempest of dumb social politics that led to The Great Schism of the Norwood Cricket Society. 😂😂😂

@britneynmack Figma (content & IA explorations, prototyping) FigJam (diagramming, whiteboarding, workshops) Dropbox Paper (design documentation) iPad w/GoodNotes (for fast notetaking )

@Katstodian_ Incredible progress. Way more fun than paving! 👏👏👏

@OBrienEditorial I did a nap under my weighted duvet with no timer on it. And baked cookies. And some frivolous reading.

Hi friends, I have today off. I’ve already emptied and filled the dishwasher, cleaned kitchen counters, paved a lot, and made cookie dough, Please tell me what to do to actually relax.

@strangetimespdx Of the ones on my shelf that I’ve lent to non-designers, I think O reach for the Indi Young ‘Mental Models’ book most often. rosenfeldmedia.com/books/mental-m…

@Katstodian_ Silly paving gifs aside, I vote for something that gets you fully into your body and out of your head. Do a yoga. Hike a hike. Just a bunch of breathing? Get that parasympathetic nervous system doin’ its thing!

@Katstodian_ I’m not really convinced that ‘excelling’ is an option for that particular activity…
