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. 🫤

@cederbs 🫂 I was in a very similar position last night, only I ordered a pint of ice cream instead of chicken. (In hindsight, I should have done both).

People have limits. And if everything is urgent, nothing is. At least, that’s what my brain tells me when it’s in puddle mode.

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.

@jonathankoren no. But i want it.

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.

Interesting. Any particular reason your doctor wants to steer you clear of injections?

In any case, hoping for the best for you!!

@courtney I remember, when I first started HRT, my GP told me that the number of patches I’d need to use to maintain normal cis levels of estrogen was probably more than I could fit on the surface area of my skin. 🥲

@courtney oh dear. That’s low. Injection or oral supplement?

@dskuza words, words, words

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!! 😭

@faithisleaping @Impossible_PhD feel this. It’s equal parts amazing and disorienting to suddenly have a functioning emotional core after having navigated without one for so long. Did not anticipate it; extremely grateful for it, even if it’s a bareback horse in need of a bridle.

@Impossible_PhD in my experience, the ace spectrum is less a chartable field, and more a violent, thrashing torrent of confusion and contradiction along which no clean lines can be drawn, if lines can be drawn at all.

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.
