Love the #Seattle sticker culture.
In SG, putting up stickers like that would be considered vandalism. When people back home say the country feels a bit boring, it might be because you don’t stumble upon random little bits of entertainment on every corner. πŸ˜‚
Side note NGL, it is tough feeling less connected to friends and fam since I deleted IG and FB off my phone. But I just can't keep supporting platforms that profit off communities they don’t actually care about. #Zuckerberg
Never forget.
#Adolescence reaffirmed my #childfree choice.
I was brought up with the idea that an ill-behaved child is a reflection of one's parenting abilities. The film reminded me that we are in a v different era now. Watching Eddie Miller crumble and wonder where him and his wife had gone wrong raising Jamie made me realize how tough parenting is in the age of the internet AND smartdevices. Parents and educators don't have 100% control and influence on kids these days and I respect them for trying. πŸ™‡β€β™€οΈ
I finally started #adolescence on Netflix last night. I am halfway through and this I hope this isn't the REAL coming of age story for Gen Alpha or Z. 😳
It reminded me of #aclockworkorange. The @THR interview had a line that read my thoughts out loud... https://shorturl.at/UVpiv
"What if your child’s burgeoning worldview is manipulated by online creators you can’t police, turning an otherwise ordinary youngster into one capable of carrying out a heinous act of violence?"
Back in Seattle after a mostly gloomy week in Victoria. Wished it could have been dry and sunny for me to enjoy the cherry blossoms 🌸 here's a clip I took on the in laws property last year 😍

Looking at the valley in the southern end of Vancouver Island earlier this evening. Is this what they call the calm before the storm forecasted for the PNW tomorrow afternoon - 2% chance of tornados and 1-inch sized hail?! #pnw #vancouverisland #nature

The husband went to a dentist appointment first thing this morning and came back with this half a dozen. He knows I like 'happy breakfasts' but c'mon I can't eat all of this. He isn't going to help because he had his teeth cleaned. πŸ₯²
I think he just wants me to have the diabetes.

πŸ©πŸ“ Half a dozen for $15. Pretty reasonable. I like how the icing is thin actually. I feel like I'm having less sugar than it looks. 😜

I can't believe I first saw this clip shared on LinkedIn. I actually quite like the animation and storytelling. Happy International Women's Day (I'm a day early). Please enjoy this animation by @financialtimes. The ending was powerful. It hit me hard 😫 because I'm living in a country where the current administration is eroding women's rights.
