- I’m fairly sure I have the flu and I had a flu jab in November and let me tell you that if this is the vaccinated edition then I don’t even want to know what the full force version feels like
- There’s a lot of Vick’s Vapor Rub in my life right now and as such I have made the discovery that my cat is viscerally afraid of menthol.
- I am in the thick of a nasty virus right now and am whiling away my time being late to the table with Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom. For anyone else who went from Breath of the Wild to this - erm? Is it normal that I am completely overwhelmed?

- Please vote on my next blog post to write because I need to write more but need help refining ideas: 1. My particular grievances with federated design systems 2. My wishes and aims for 2026 3. How the digital world fails to accommodate grief 4. Why “it’s ok not to be ok” is meaningless tripe

- Put a finger down if you covered yourself in crispy chilli oil before 9am
- Not only is JK Rowling just an appalling transphobe but Harry Potter is also literally a series for children and those of us with fond childhood memories of it are now adults and it really truly shouldn’t be that hard to drag yourself away now. Anyway have a good evening.
