some days I like LinkedIn coz I see heartwarming and uplifting things there.

I get to post about IRL tech events and coffee chats that are inclusive and accessible, where I meet people outside of tech (like Fashion) who are joining the industry to advance their fields. I think that's cool.

Then there's today: I reposted what Netflix's Bill Yost shared! He is how i discovered #WeirdLinkedIn and my feed improved coz I have connected with people who are non-vanilla in the professional world with their colourful POV and insights!

He's only ever posted fun and insightful things so I just think his haters are legit jealous. "This is not Instagram" LOL.

Personal Branding and human psychology like authenticity and entertainment hence the high engagement AND reach!

This is why Bill is "viralling" despite my lack of like for that word. I think we should replace it. Same thing wth "influencers."

Stop online bullying.Stop interrupting the people who are positively on there.

There are bullies and unhappy people everywhere who have nothing better to do than put people down because they’re so threatened you’re not conforming. They don’t have a concept of personal branding or human psychology: i.e. a lot of audiences here enjoy transparent, entertaining, and authentic content like Bill’s. Otherwise why would this happy pirate’s posts be so popular and beloved (me included in the #WeirdLinkedin fan club)? ❤️ “Also: a few people have been mad at me for what I post LinkedIn. Someone told me "this isn’t Instagram" and another person spent a full 24 hours rage-posting about me before deleting everything when it didn't go viral. I just think that’s beautiful. As always, the numbers speak for themselves - and no, I will not be pivoting to beige thought leadership anytime soon.” All the best to you, may you continue to keep reaching the right people here 🏴‍☠️ Bill Yost

NGL, I was very private about my love of horror. My artistic profile pic is inspired by a "romantic goth" aesthetic, and my love for this started young with my Italian grandfather. I grew up on films like "Tales from the Crypt." While I love old-fashioned books, I also have a soft spot for cosmic horror, which is all about the fear of the unknown—a feeling I find fascinating.

I used to be shy about sharing this online. I felt I had to fit into a box, but I realized life is too short to hide what brings me joy. My authenticity is my superpower. I'm okay with being permanently on #WeirdLinkedIn, because this is where real connections are made.

It's been a tough year. I'm healing from a broken heart and grieving the loss of 2 loved ones. I've learned that sharing what brings me joy—even if it's spooky—is a way of coping and healing.

This is my permission slip to feel. It’s okay to not be okay, and it’s okay to love strange things.

What part of yourself have you been hiding from the world?

 Early morning Monday started by getting up at midnight Sunday!

Freshened up, watched Netflix, then wrote and edited things while making vegan biryani in the wee hours. Had coconut cream and garlic chives I really wanted to use 🥥

What happened: 
Yesterday’s 30 degree VanCity heat was too much so after getting someone from the airport, I passed out after lunch! ✈️


Private Pleasure: Watched sunrise with my cat then went back to video editing. Filmed this for fun to wish y’all a #GoodMorning but also to test #WeirdLinkedIn

Looking forward: Excited to go swimming because ❤️ being in the water 🥰

PS
In love with this new blouse, linen is sooo comfy and keeps me cool 

Okay so good news about my feralpoasting over on LinkedIn in the #WeirdLinkedIn circles: someone just asked me about Drupal as a potential alternative for a project they’ve so far been building out in Wordpress.

Bad news: I think I’ve forgotten how to talk Drupal to anyone who isn’t already deeply familiar with it.

But, this is good practice though. Get to clean off the rust!
