    @gilmae Sure. Your file just says, “Ugh, that guy.” ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Trying out @cloze to manage my ridiculous list of contacts. Anybody use it? Any other personal relationship managers I should try?


    Spotify recommended this to me the other day and now I’m obsessed. #NowPlaying The Great Defector by Bell X1 โ™ซ https://t.co/5ygI8x7BS5


    @lucykbain I found some suggestions on this old Reddit thread: https://t.co/csR0uYo3QZ. A lot of them are dead now though.


    @lucykbain Then I found the key phrase: “personal relationship management”. Cloze ranks highly for that!


    @lucykbain I’m on the two week trial, so I’ll let you know how I go!


    @kouky Oh god no.


    @peterfinlan Congrats and best of luck!


    @KinokuniyaAust Do you have the 2017 Hobonichi Techos in yet? Or do you know when they’ll get in?

    @HANSwerThePhone I told you Canva cake leads to problems!

    @peterfinlan @aebaranov I think the Dymocks stationery story on George St has a pretty decent range too.


    RT @RoaldDahlFans: Happy Roald Dahl Day! How are you celebrating this 100th anniversary of Dahl’s birth? https://t.co/96Pzt1JsKT https://t.โ€ฆ


    @randomknits @ALIASyd Ooh, fancy! Congrats!


    I’m quoted in this article for #RoaldDahlDay! 100 years of Dahl: Revisiting the magic of Matilda https://t.co/rQRDnJeflY via @ABCNews


    @johnallsopp I actually saw someone say recently that “Derp” was ableist. Had never thought of it that way.


    Last night I realised I need a Farley File. Anybody have a great “personal CRM” system? https://t.co/4mSWXxxeWZ

    It’s Roald Dahl Day, so there’s lots of Dahl media happening. I just did an interview with ABC Radio, and this article has just been published with some quotes as well!

    Dream: get super rich Peter Thiel style and then bankroll lawsuits against companies that lay off women returning from mat leave.


    @reactsydney Wait, does that mean @mitchelmore_j is visiting our fair shores?!


    @rosepowell I know far too many it’s happened to & it enrages me. Co’s only do it because they know mums are not in position to fight back.


    @mitchelmore_j Awesome! You should come have lunch at Canva next week or something. ๐Ÿ˜€

    @chrisgander @DDsD Sometimes you get tired of taking the high road. I didn’t tweet it, but I sure as heck thought it when I saw the article.


    @DDsD @chrisgander Also, objectification and criticism of looks is common to anti-feminist men. So the impulse is to turn it back on them.


    @DDsD @chrisgander But yeah. Totally childish. Two wrongs don’t make a right. But sometimes people lash out. I understand the impulse.

    Second session today with my mentor. Really loving it so far! Great to get practical advice and encouragement from someone I admire.


    @Jonwestenberg I agonised over it for a couple years. Finally a friend kicked me in the bum and convinced me to just ask. And it worked!


    @Jonwestenberg There’s a small mention in this post: https://t.co/l85WpTpf8p. But I’ll write a more in-depth one at some point. ๐Ÿ‘


    YEAH, BABY. (Thanks Andy!!) https://t.co/x6Q7VTh9EO https://t.co/4VEwvWYuw5

    Hey @customICING – I just got 2 emails about orders I placed three years ago. Your new system appears to be somewhat faulty!


    It’s @mobywhale and @msharp kicking off #SydCSS. (Where’s @dp_lewis?! Tsk tsk.) https://t.co/N4kCKfiupV


    @snookca WAIT. You’re in Oz? We must meet. I’m actually married to @the_snook. I feel like you shouldn’t meet. Don’t cross the streams.


    @snookca Awesome. If you spot a tall chick in a jumper with a pear on it in the break, that’s me.


    Ha. @vlh just described cubic-bezier as “number barf.” #SydCSS https://t.co/U7Nvun2rQ4


    YOU GUYS. I just met THE OTHER SNOOK at #SydCSS. @snookca is here. But @the_snook is home. Maybe they cannot coexist in the same place?!


    Proof: me and @snookca. Who looks enough like @the_snook and @diversionary to be weird. https://t.co/PRfWqybhT2
