WU-TANG FOREVER 👐🏽

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

There is nothing redeemable about this country. A few pockets of noble resistance ribboned throughout, people trying to undo the damage it does or at least carve out lives for themselves that don't make them complicit...but on the whole we are violent, venal, dominating, greedy, and thoughtless.

The internet while now the absolute worst, still continues to let me know I’m not alone ♥️

The clarity of @mmasnick.bsky.social: "Most people aren’t looking for a debating arena. They want to talk with people they like about topics they care about—whether that’s knitting, local politics, or professional interests." www.techdirt.com/2025/06/20/c...

I keep thinking about this New Yorker cartoon. Here’s what I’ve learned from being in these types of meetings as a consultant: 1. Only ever work with ONE point of contact. 2. Never be in those types of meetings again.

Anyone who has ever worked in ops/systems knew this was going to end badly. We’ve all worked with new bosses that come in and think they know better - that they can just fire people and get rid of things (that were there for a reason). When we’ve known all along it’s always about processes.

This is propaganda. 😆

I’m going to be that person where I come on here and say I need to start posting and engaging here lol. But I do. Threads is insufferable, FB is AI slop, scams, ads, and groups/people I do not follow. LinkedIn is surprisingly ok.

Launching my very first stand alone premium @notion.com template this week! 3 dashboards, and 6 databases. 🥰

No, this is the most ashamed you've felt as an American *so far*.

I applied to foster dogs at my local shelter. I’ve been absolutely crushed about losing Stells last month. But I’m not ready to get a new dog. This feels like a win win.

I mean, at least they’re saying how they’ve felt for FORTY PLUS YEARS out loud now. So, there’s that.

A fun thing to do after watching this is google "US worker productivity vs real wages since 1970"

The Customize Layouts feature is both helpful and WILDLY unintuitive (sorry Notion). youtu.be/oPDgCcZsLyc?...

Has this guy been to Boston? Fist fighting is a pastime here. Soooo I guess good luck with all that.

This is fucking grim.

A movie you’ve watched more than 6 times, using only GIFs

I’m rewatching Veep with my niece (she’s a Zoomer and it’s one of her all times favs). One thing I noticed watching it is how big a role Twitter used to play in popular culture. I truly miss what Twitter was. ☹️

Here someone fixed it lol. Truly the direction we’re headed in.

Ugh

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Really enjoying Dark Winds.

I said goodbye to my best girl on Saturday. It was unexpected. I’m so grateful I work for myself because the grief is overwhelming. I knew it would be hard, but was not prepared for the depths of sadness. We don’t talk enough about the grief of losing a pet. 💔

In French, ‘entrepreneur’ used to mean “undertaker” or “funeral director.” The words ‘undertaker’ and ‘entrepreneur’ are very similar: an entrepreneur “undertakes” a business, and the French word comes from ‘prendre,’ meaning “to take.”

Here’s a little good night snicker for you.

So we’re doing this again? I keep thinking about this post from @mims.bsky.social lol. **chuckles in GenX exhaustion**

I’m all for retweets. It’s how I find other interesting people/info. But I’m realizing I need to unfollow people who *relentlessly* RT. My TL is not as active as it should be so these accounts are all I see. I understand I need to be more active here but the above creates a bit of a vacuum for me.

Over the weekend I built out an entire client onboarding workflow in @notion.com with button automations and I cannot explain how excited I am about this. 😭😮‍💨

If you’ve got a hobby where you often search for tutorials/YouTube videos, do this: create a database in @notion.com, add those links so they’re always there when you need them. Here’s my knitting and sewing DB.

One of my fav internet friends @worriers.bsky.social just launched their Tour Manager @notion.com template. Such a brilliant use of Notion! Pass it on if you have friends in bands...it's seriously so good and so detailed. laurendnotion.gumroad.com/l/tmsystem?r...

People over on Threads are celebrating the murder of someone. How’s it going over here?

A week down with my first week of intermittent fasting. I built a little tracker in @notion.com with buttons and count downs with formulas. I’m going to add a few other bells and whistles.

The guide (v1) is now live! Designing Neurofriendly @notion.com Workspaces: A Helpful Guide. I'd love to hear you have any of your own tips/tricks or strong opinions about what makes workspaces easier on your brain! #neurodiversity #adhd #visualdesign tinyurl.com/neurofriendly

Scammers are so weird.

If you have ADHD and struggle with being consistent with client leads and onboarding I HIGHLY recommend visually mapping out your entire workflow, creating an SOP from it, and follow it to a T. Even after 12 yrs of freelancing if I don’t follow this something invariably falls through the cracks.

Me: exhausted after my first work day of intermittent fasting flat out in bed Also me: this @notion.com intermittent fasting tracker with button timers and streak chart isn’t going to make itself!!!

If Dems truly believe that the pardon of Hunter is going to undermine our faith in the justice system, then we are way more screwed as a party than I thought.

Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont... It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.

It has become increasi...cult to se all of y....ata in No....

Slammed today with client work, so I'm playing The Smiths on repeat. This is instead of listening to pods about the end of the Republic. I much rather listen to music I can morb to. 😆 Here's the playlist I found on Spotfiy: open.spotify.com/playlist/5vW...

Reclaiming yarn today. I knitted a sweater 2 years ago, and it fit terribly. La Bien Aimee’s Confetti in Greybow is too amazing to exist in a sweater I’ll never wear. Check out all those little nubs. It’s recycled yarn. 🤩

Finally blocking this sweater.

Sailing into the wknd w 6 happy clients. It began with a client’s VA telling me on Sunday night to redo what I built based on a new spreadsheet. After no input, no review, no use of what I built. I encouraged them countless times. Project ended last week. 😆😮‍💨 Ending on a high note is a relief.
