Chibi is boss. Bring her her coffee. Bring her her squeaky ball. Type up her homework. Bossy. Bossy. Boss dog.

My first management hat. 🥰

Cities are rad.

The entire @pocket team is in town this week for an on-site. 🥰

For our first meal together, we rolled the dice and ended up with a royal feast. Like most teams at @mozilla, Pocket is geographically distributed; it’s so refreshing (and rare) to have everyone in the same place at the same time—a dinner like this is a treasure.

Wearing the colors to work today. 🏳️‍⚧️

Moody weather yesterday.

Every half, I promise myself that I’ll write my self-assessment early. Every half, I am made a liar.

The problem is that it’s a task for my benefit, and I’m never quite as motivated to serve myself as I should be.

Goodbye, Nicole v45—I’ve upgraded to Nicole v46!!

Forty-five was an action-packed year. I want to call for less action in this next year, but I won’t because my diary is an addict.

Still sorting out how to photograph this city. 🫤

Apple has responded to our Pride theme by spotlighting Pocket in two different collections in the App Store.

I can’t overstate how much we appreciate that: making a statement like this invites a fair amount of hate mail; it’s incredible when a big player steps in to lend some support.

Pocket’s Pride-themed release is rolling out to 1% of users today.

This is the first of our themed releases, where we decorate the app inside and out with thematic colors and content.

I’m one of those personalities you can just heap more and more responsibilities on, and I’ll be like, “More! More!,” even as my velocity slows.

But once you heap just one too many things, I completely fall apart, and my velocity plummets straight down to zero/overwhelmed/sobbing on the sofa.

Happy Monday, everyone!! 😭

I’m in the Mission, enjoying a post-Furiosa Wesburger.

I don’t enjoy these films so much as admire their alienness. This one epitomizes that distinction: amazement and boredom in equal measure. At moments, I was enthralled; at moments, I realized I’d been staring at my shoelaces for uninterrupted minutes while vehicles exploded above me. There was a moment I almost cried; there were entire acts where I felt numb. I was never excited, but these films weren’t made to excite someone like me.

Starting facial electrolysis in the middle of my team’s visit to SF. This means mandatory stubble and no Zoom filter to hide behind. 🙄

Arguably, this is either my fault for not starting earlier, or my fault for not starting later. Either way, it’s my fault!

I’m pretty happy with how far lasers and hormones took me, but as the other changes have compounded, having to shave, even if only every other day, just feels goofy.

But, oh boy, that upper lip line is supposed to be atomically painful 😵‍💫

Some guy just pulled over and asked me for my number. Gonna ride that feeling all week long.
