• The Roald Dahl rewrite kerfuffle

    Over at RoaldDahlFans.com, I finally wrote down my thoughts about the whole rewrite controversy over the past couple weeks. I was quoted in the Telegraph article that broke the story, and it was honestly a little scary to get pulled into a culture war. For the record, I don’t support the changes, but only because they let Dahl off the hook for his indefensible and wrong attitudes. Dude wasn’t a saint, and if society has evolved past his racism and misogyny, let’s leave his books in the past where they belong.

    Afternoon snack! Summer may be over, but the stonefruit is still excellent… ❤️🍑


    Someone went to Marrickville today. 🍻

    (He got rid of all his craft brewing stuff when we left in 2020. He’s having fun plotting out what he needs to get going again.)


    The zucchini bread Rodd baked last night, and my face when I remembered it this morning. ❤️😲

    I was interviewed recently for the Life at AWS blog about my role in Women at Amazon! I’ve been fortunate through my role on the board to meet many amazing women around the world, and it’s rewarding to get to help make their experience at the company and in tech just a little bit better.

    Bathroom selfie of my new Made590 Jessie dress featuring Rifle Paper Co. fabric! 👗😍

    A few weeks ago, I saw my friend Jody Podbury wearing a beautiful Liberty print dress and asked her where she got it. She told me @made590 and I started following them on Insta. When I saw the new capsule range coming out, I had to go try them on… and two of them came home with me. 😉 The Made Squad
