Some fun stuff happened in the past week: I caught up with multiple friends (including my amazing old Canva buddy Auguste Levanaite along with her husband Sean and baby Lucy); I was interviewed on a tech podcast about early retirement (I’ll share when it goes live); I had a great chat with a new mentee; I sewed myself a new pair of shorts; and Rodd and I finished up our volunteering at the Sydney Festival. The final event we supported was Vigil: Gunyah at the Barangaroo Reserve. We got to hear from three amazing First Nations women talking about self-care, staying connected with community, and how you can keep fighting even when the problems you face are systemic and too big for any one person to solve. I found it really inspiring, especially after a week when tech companies are deleting the diversity sections of their websites and kowtowing to bigots and xenophobes. I’m proud to have helped out with this event and the Festival, and happy to contribute to making Australia (and the world) a more vibrant, tolerant, welcoming place.

(And yeah, I will continue to minimise my time on this website going forward. Feel free to bookmark my website https://www.web-goddess.org if you want to know what I’m up to more regularly.)
