Absolutely love the authenticity and honesty in this interview with Tatcha's founder Vicky Tsai. I wasn't previously familiar with the brand, will definitely be buying from them now. www.elle.com/beauty/makeu...

Well there goes my cheap hobby

Been pretty MIA on social the last 6 months as I welcomed my new daughter Brynn into the world. Loved the time home with her, but back in the saddle at work today and excited to get back into the swing of all things commerce! What'd I miss? 😜

New fear unlocked: opened a package today to be greeted by a spider crawling out of it. That’s a big nope for me.

One of the good/bad things about maternity leave is the endless amount of TV time during contact naps. I feel like I’ve watched all the new shows so have been going back and reconnecting with shows from my youth. Currently deep in One Tree Hill reruns, and man, it gives me high school nostalgia!

This is the kind of feel-good news I need right now. Love this show, and love seeing these sibling bonds

This is what it looks like when America’s crafter paradise goes out of business…

Tomorrow is my last day working before I head out on maternity leave. And while I know I will be spending the next few months keeping a small human alive, I'm hoping I can use some of the time to do some professional development. Specifically wanting to learn more about AI use in comms. Any recs?

As a parent in Texas this is terrifying.

As someone who also tends to prefer in-store shopping, this stat really hits: "Nearly three-quarters of consumers prefer shopping in physical stores, but only 9% are satisfied with the store experience." www.wsj.com/business/ret...

Local pregnant woman buys 4 boxes of Girl Scout cookies, and justifies purchase by telling husband "they are meant to last a few months". Proceeds to eat half of the boxes in a week.

Mmmmm...sorry buddy. Your actions say differently. www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip...

In happier news...I love a story about the next generation of leaders refusing to accept what's happening in our country and choosing to do something about it.

I truly have no words for this behavior. It goes beyond any "campaign promise" to literally mocking and making light of the treatment of actual human beings. America is broken. And I am disgusted by anyone who brushes this off as "OK" or "just a joke" www.cnbc.com/2025/02/18/w...

Found myself in need of some lighthearted content (which I unexpectedly discovered this weekend). Sharing here in case you also need a little smile: 🦩 A group of flamingoes is called a Flamboyance 🦔 A group of porcupines is called a Prickle How do I petition for a better name for a group of people?

New @bloomberg.com: Undocumented workers helped build Elon Musk’s Tesla gigafactory bloom.bg/41gG6a3

Another strong take from @kyla.bsky.social's newsletter.

If any former president had done JUST ONE of these things, it'd dominate news cycles and we'd be calling for their heads. Yet, I had to reduce my zoom to 70% to see the list of THE MOST problematic things trump has done in the last 2 weeks, and media, dems, and citizens are dangerously quiet. WHY

So much of this article really hits home for me. I'm fortunate to work at a company that offers generous maternity leave, but the challenge of trying to be present and effective as a parent and employee remains a constant source of anxiety (1/2) www.businessinsider.com/millennial-p...

The world is better when there are more entrepreneurs. And more diverse voices and leaders. www.inc.com/jessica-stil...

Guess I’ve officially found the thing that will force me off Twitter once and for all… But really, so much for free speech in America

TX banning tools like DeepSeek and TikTok from employee phones to prevent the "infiltration of our state's critical infrastructure" while having ZERO issue w/ unelected individuals like Musk basically taking over sensitive government institutions... TALK ABOUT IRONY! statescoop.com/texas-bans-d...

In case anyone is wondering, I bought an entire container of guac this weekend so I could enjoy chips and dip while the are only *mildly* expensive, not absurdly so. It was a delicious lunch today :)

Nothing makes me quite as happy as a parent as getting to introduce my child to (and therefore relive) some of my favorite childhood shows. Today's showing: The Magic School Bus (mostly hoping this gets us a brief reprieve from watching Cars for the 100th time)

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Hatred of Teams is like the ONE thing we can unanimously agree on, so I have a hard time believe Americans will want the company that brought us that nightmare to be responsible for an app they love.

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day – a day which feels disappointingly more important now than ever. History, if not remembered, is doomed to repeat itself. www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/...

Is this bill a little silly? Yes. Do I love it? Also yes, bc it recognizes that sex involves two parties, and the onus (and potential consequences) shouldn't fall solely on a woman. If government wants to control women's bodies, why not men's too? www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

I wish this didn’t need to be said, but I want all my friends, coworkers, acquaintances, etc. who identify as something different than their assigned sex at birth to know: I see YOU. And, I will continue to recognize and publicly support your chosen identity, regardless of what our gov. says.

The Mr. Rogers advice for moments of crisis is a useful thing to remember right now. Look for the helpers. Look for the people organizing to protect the most vulnerable. Look for the people who have been concretely planning for how to respond, and are ready to implement. Join them, if you can.

Ladies (and men): PLEASE advocate for yourself if you feel like something is off. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 30 after being told "it was nothing". It seems that age no longer matters in terms of what's normal, so please don't wait until it's too late. www.cnn.com/2025/01/16/h...

Anytime I write the word “utmost”, I immediately think of this scene in New Girl and it puts the biggest smile on my face 😊

This was such a powerful message. It’s a shame that the people who most need to hear it are also the most likely to ignore it or brush it off as ridiculous. apnews.com/article/joe-...

It appears craft retailers aren't doing so well right now...which is in direct opposition to my social algorithms showing me all the people (myself included) trying to learn a new craft as their 2025 resolution.

If you aren't subscribed to @kyla.bsky.social's substack, I highly recommend. Really enjoyed her take this morning on the TikTok ban and how it is forcing America to reckon with the way social media has completely changed our brains and the way we interact with life.

Just in case you need the reminder of what money was able to buy in this election... www.forbes.com/sites/alison...

I refuse to listen to Zuck's interview with Rogan because I don't particularly like or want to support either one, but saw some of the clips and statements – and this has to be one of the grosser things he said. Please explain to me when corporate tech had any feminine energy? I'll wait...

The chokehold that Mickey Mouse Clubhouse has on my toddler is really starting to get to me now that I find myself singing the show's theme song at random moments in the day. #SendHelp

I often mention that one of my favorite parts of working at Shopify is getting to talk to and celebrate entrepreneurs. I've spent the last few months working on a project that highlights these stories, and I'm super proud of it. It wraps up today, so I thought I'd do a little look back thread...

Recession? What recession? www.shopify.com/news/bfcm-da...

Working at Shopify is a good reminder of the truly unbelievable scale of commerce, esp during the holidays. Look at these numbers coming from our BFCM Weekend 😱: ➡️ $11.5B global sales on Shopify, up 24% YoY ➡️ 67K merchants had their highest-selling day ever! ➡️ 16.5K merchants made their first sale

Happy Black Friday! If you want to check out what it looks like to see sales around the world happening in real-time...all from the perspective of a spaceship, HIGHLY recommend Shopify's Live Globe experience (available now through Cyber Monday): bfcm.shopify.com Easily my fave project every year!

Loved getting to work on this awesome @hypebeast.bsky.social Black Friday Gift Guide, ft. Shopify merchants...but I am also 100% certain that I am not cool enough to rock any of these brands 🙇‍♀️ hypebeast.com/2024/11/blac...

The stranglehold this snack has on me…

For those of us who are change averse and having a hard time going cold turkey on the other app, how are we thinking about content? Are we posting the same thing here and there? Picking and choosing? Really want to eventually replace X with BS, but don't want to completely ignore my X fam now...
