This late breakfast at my desk is a reminder to eat more plants, because we hate them and they deserve death.

I’ve slowly been going through all my drawers over the last couple of months, finding heaps of junk nobody every needed, and I came across this candle I got in a swag bag at a blogging conference a few years ago. Cue sweeping nostalgia and memories, oh the memories.
Two of my Tweetdeck columns aligned in the most delightful way just now:
Also, I wrote this in the wee hours last night:
