Bliss ☀️🐈Thoughts I’ve been sitting with...
Death shaped my summer i.e. losing a family member and a close friend unexpectedly.
I still showed up with care, even without being on an “official” volunteer list.
Recently, I was quietly removed from a WhatsApp group chat I’d been contributing to.
No heads-up. No conversation. Just gone.
It stung. Not because I need titles—
but because I believe in #RelationalTech, in showing up with softness, and in honouring grief as part of leadership.
So I’m choosing to go where I’m wanted,
not where I’m merely tolerated.
Where grief isn’t punished.
Where care is reciprocal.
Where soft leadership is seen as strength.
If you’re in Metro Vancouver building spaces like that (or want to), let’s connect 🐾
I’m here for federated futures and the people who make tech feel like a hug.
Thanks for your inclusiveness and #HumanKindness.
