Jeff Bezos might have built a spaceship, but indie bookstores build and nurture whole communities and that is *way* more impressive and valuable.

Good.

Man, a lot of things get better. You don’t have to always try to find out what you like anymore. To “create” yourself. You’re you. You know what food you like. What movie genres. The spot around the corner. You’re provably also past living up to your potential; you’re BEING you. It rocks.

How about enemies to lovers but it’s between you and yourself.

I have both a paper and an audiobook copy, because Sacha's book is just so damned good 😁 Definitely one for the #Folklore folk on here. Go treat yourself.

This book was an absolutely amazing read- highly recommend you get yourself a copy!

For the past few years, I have gleefully buying books - and passing a lot of them on to others once I’ve read them. And recently, I’ve re-found my love for the library. Physical books are a joy. And they are becoming increasingly important.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Fabrizio's blog post that Tom mentioned: AI must RTFM: Why technical writers are becoming context curators: passo.uno/from-tech-wr...

Great quote from Fabrizio & Tom's new AI & Docs podcast: “…this is a good reason for people to be optimistic about the future of docs: if AI tools are really poor without good documentation, then which company is going to undercut themselves by removing documentation?” We recommend this podcast! 😊

I hear rumblings that EA might continue profiting an oligarchic dictatorship that routinely destabilizes other countries by committing and supporting war crimes and human rights violations while openly ignoring international law, freedom of press, and the right to fair trial

SFW crew, this one's for you! Tell bsky you stand with NSFW creators and let us have creative freedom with a better labeling system, NOT censorship! Use that feedback form! #bskycensorship

A new study, based on a survey of 1,150 workers suggests that the injection of AI tools into the workplace has not resulted in a magic productivity boom and instead increased the amount of time that workers say they spend fixing low-quality AI-generated “work.” 🔗 www.404media.co/ai-workslop-...

Someone saw me today and was like “were you at that place earlier?” - so am I going to jail?

You aren’t irreplaceable to any company. You aren’t irreplaceable to any boss. You are irreplaceable to yourself, your friends and your family. Prioritize.

If the lament was “I don’t have the money for real art”, that would be one thing. But people will swear up and down they want a handmade quilt and then be like “just charge me for the fabric”. Baby that is NOT how skilled labor works and if it’s not skilled labor then why are we talking 😭

Chewie would like you to know that I am the worse pawrent every because we are not our for walkies right now.

Finding joy in treetop courses with my spouse and my great cousin. Reading books with whimsical names. Eating whatever I feel like. Painting my nails a flashy color. Knitting with soft yarn. I hope you have a weekend filled with things that bring you joy.

This is the content I am here for.

Hey docs friends! Come hear my talk at Write The Docs: Berlin. It’s going to be a vulnerable, and hopefully helpful, talk about transitioning into a leadership position.

Proud to announce that I reached peak middle manager today, because I got to combine my Gantt chart with someone else’s Gantt Chart, and then make color-coordinated sub-Gantt charts, and it really improved my mood.

Need a 'wholesome and cute' read this weekend? Try my Pride and Prejudice retelling MR COLLINS IN LOVE ❤️

Just finished this a few days ago, and it’s so wholesome and cute. This version of Mr Collins is very true to form, while also being incredibly endearing and sweet. I love him.

Hey so remember when I quote-posted this? I also submitted a talk. And it was accepted! Join me at WTD:Berlin in October. I’ll talk about the transition from tech writer into a docs lead, and what that means for the actual person who’s suddenly in a completely new job. Can’t wait to see you 🧡

On my way home from Köln, after three days at Devcom and one at Gamescom. This was an absolute blast. Thanks to everyone who saw my talk, chatted with me, gave their own talks and panels, and just generally geeked out and had fun with me. Now, I’m on my way home. Tired, but wired. 🧡

I just love when passionate experts nerd out about something in an educational manner. This is such a treat.

Immediately added to my Kobo. Can’t wait to read this!

I needed this so much today.

The total tally ended being 22 books. 1) almost exactly a year ago, I bought 22 books in one day in Amsterdam, and this is now a new tradition. Celebrating getting through 2/3 of the year by fattening up my bookshelves for winter. 2) I finished the first book on the flight home, and I have FEELS.

I may have a baggage space problem, but I have no regrets. #booksky 📚

So, I work very, very hard. I do so to feed my addictions. I am mostly addicted to books 📚 . #booksky, I’m sure you can relate.

In London for a business trip. Gave myself a little treat.

Not to be humble or anything, but I just did 10 reps of 115kg plated loaded leg press and I am an absolute beast.

So who else is beginning to look forward to semi-hibernating in December and just shamelessly watching this year’s new bad Christmas movies?

Today is a “asked my spouse to bring home certain fruits because I can’t make myself eat anything” kind of mental health day.
