Perfection
Mark Zuckerberg sits on the front row of a fashion show. He is a pasty, sweaty awkward looking beacon a sea of chic people.
Do you have a favourite embarrassing, unflattering, or unhinged image, gif or quote from a tech overlord?
Please can you share it with me? It's for A Thing. The more cringe the better.
A plastic seed tray and cover, filled with little coir seed pellets wrapped in paper
Four seeds in the palm of my hand, they are bean-shaped, very dark purple with pink speckles.
Seeds planted: nigella, cornflower, nasturtium, calendula, chamomile, borage, California poppy, sweet peas, stocks, and scarlet runner beans (the prettiest seeds ever?)
Think I'm going to plant all my seeds this weekend. I'm too excited to wait any longer.
Just looked at my cash reserves. No boat. Maybe a piece of cake this afternoon or something though.
4 clients paid their invoices this morning. I feel like I should go out and buy a boat or something.
Love that for you, Kristina. Making the smart choices (unlike me).
That sounds delightful
Like a scoop inside the bun? Because wow.
If I Had Legs I'd Kick You IS NOT THE ONE if you are a fellow overwhelmed carer. Very good, but way too close to the bone. Seeing all the worst aspects of yourself and your life on screen for 2 hours is not a great way to unwind 🫠
I've been working on a big refresh on my resources on content audits. I first published these in 2022 - only 3 years ago - but my approach has evolved a fair bit in that time. Plus there's so many tools out there now saying that they can do the whole thing for you. lapope.com/2026/02/20/h...

I fid it very useful, but lost the habit when I got a concussion last year and didn't manage to pick it back up again until now.
Three strands of cord in varying widths and shades, lying on a cutting mat.
Today I went to a workshop and learnt to make cordage from rushes and raffia today. I am obsessed. I am going to make so many friendship bracelets. Can't wait to try nettles and dandelions in the summer when the stems get long enough.
Is there another way I can donate other than Venmo?
Yes - lots of herbs. A couple of different mints, sage, basil, rosemary, hyssop, mullein, oregano...
This is the real "data driven" corporate culture: as long as you have pie charts and make the right mouth noises, the actual data is just window dressing.
It's great. We just got a shed, so I'm planning a big switch around to make the most of the light
I'm in my first year of having a 'garden' (patio with containers). Watching plants that I was 100% sure were dead all winter show signs of new life is a genuine thrill. Like: what do you mean that clematis that looked like a sad pile of twigs now has a little green shoot on it?!
It's definitely worth a watch - hope you enjoy it if you manage to track it down
I am here for the Lithuanians' 90s-coded scarves, hats, and bum bags #WimterOlympics
If you haven't seen it, it's one of the best openings to a film ever.
My hope for the #WinterOlympics opening ceremony was the opening scene from The Great Beauty, but on ice skates.
I feel the BBC have missed a trick not getting Graham Norton to commentate. This is so camp.
Up to the letter C in the Olympic opening ceremony. So far Czechia have the best outfits, closely followed by the Canadians' maple leaf puffy ponchos. China's is the worst.
Exactly that. I do the same thing with tabs in my browser too. And I never learn.
I really do need to reply to my emails.
Every now and again I worry that the people in the neighbouring offices can hear me yelling 'JUST ASNWER YOUR FUCKING EMAILS' and think I'm talking to employee, when this is actually just how I talk to myself.
Really, really CBA to go to the gym now though. It's new plan week, and I dread to think what horrors my trainer has in store for me.
