@h5e she is _so_ diva that her crown barely fits her swollen head.

@h5e she has put holes in two house guests’ slacks with her pointy little teeth this week. 🥲

She barks and drools when guests arrive (threat! intruders! psychopaths!), and barks and drools when guests leave (abandonment! despair! party over!). In between, she bites if guests stand up, wave their arms, or eat without making an offering. 🥹

@h5e I’ve been with Pocket for nine years now, and responsible for it for the last two. It’s been a very emotional ride these last few months, but I’m grateful for the friends I made along the way.

2016. I took this photo at my first team week. As a daily user, joining Pocket was a dream for me. I’d always wanted to work on something I actually used, and the product sat at that intersection of web client and news utility that I was already extremely invested in.
