ValuesKindness, mischief.

I will say this, and it’s likely all I’ll ever say: I told two separate therapists some things about hard things I’ve gone through.

One told me they needed a minute.

The other said they’d not been able to stop thinking about the thing I told them in my previous session. (probably not the most professional comment, but still.)

I don’t talk much about my personal or past struggles publicly, but I’ve said nearly this exact thing for a long time about resilience. Fun to run across another similar sentiment in the wild.

Boy howdy did I just witness this in the most epic way

New app selection criteria:
- If there’s a PWA, use it.
- If a platform-specific API is required, use a native app that respects your privacy.
- If neither are options, don’t use it.

The next time someone says "Privacy doesn't matter to me, I've got nothing to hide", show them this video.

Had a lovely thanksgiving dinner. Non-traditional, of course. And not pictured is my sweet potato pie that I made from my grandmother’s recipe.

Happy the moon was so lovely that evening too.

Where do folks go to find freelance or fractional design work? Specifically for product design, design systems, and/or design leadership.

If it’s platforms, which ones? I’ve not found success on Upwork.

Made some delicious smelling candles over the weekend. Scents were:

- cashmere and lemon
- sage, cyprus, leather, labdanum, a little cashmere

(Yes I designed the gold label)

I lost my beautiful Dahlia two weeks ago. I’m still wrecked.

She was killed by a dog I rescued. It was no one’s fault, but the searing loss feels chained to me forever.

She was such a sweet perfect baby who talked to me, loved belly rubs, and couldn’t wait for playtime. What’s more, she loved me unconditionally. I was so lucky.

I was with her when she passed. Thank god she didn’t go alone. But she took part of my heart with her when she left.

RIP my love
