    @docEbrown1 All levels! From junior to senior…


    @docEbrown1 This one! https://t.co/CmE1yLixqS


    HAIM have a new song called “Hallelujah” and my first thought listening to the lyrics was that they too have been reading far too much #GoodOmens fanfic. (That’s not what the song is actually about, I later discovered.)


    @melissa_loh @MichelePlayfair @thomasvjames YASSSSSSSSS 💃💃💃 I’m the last speaker of the day so he can’t miss me. 😂


    You know, @DDDBrisbane, I wouldn’t get up before 7am on Saturday for just anybody….


    I really want @Olacare_AU to succeed, but fully 40% of drivers lately have cancelled in me after accepting my ride. 😡


    @Amys_Kapers Hm. So maybe my flight is “cancelled” and I have to spend all day in the Qantas Club? 🤔


    @Amys_Kapers Shhh. It’s not really cancelled. I just don’t want to go to hotness. 😂


    Lazy sewing web – anygood Black Friday deals in Australia on sewing machines? I need a new one!


    Just landed! Time to get to #DDDBrisbane!! 🛬 https://t.co/GHi2XraCke

    @damovisa @DDDBrisbane @csferrie Worst kept secret ever. 😂 So excited!


    The most important question is – where’s the after party? @MichelePlayfair – you hanging around? Between us we ought to be able to pull a fun group together… https://t.co/r0amBCpifO


    @MichelePlayfair EXACTLY


    @mobywhale @johnallsopp Actually I will be more comfortable with on-the-spot… 😛


    @girlgerms @MichelePlayfair There’s three! This party is happening.


    @Amys_Kapers @girlgerms @MichelePlayfair My flight gets in at 9:30am, so I should be there in time to see all your talks!


    @devdevcharlie @Netlify WHAAAAAAAT. Congratulations!!


    Spent 10 minutes today hilariously and fruitlessly trying to use 10th grade geometry to lay out a 2x2m square on the floor with @justasitsounds before we noticed the carpet had perfect 50cm squares on it. 😂🤦‍♀️


    @DeirdreS ❤️ That’s amazing. I’m glad you’re still here!

    @MichelePlayfair @MsJonesInSydney @SydTechLeaders @HowToProspa I was going for Marc Antony, but I’ll take it. 😉


    The best part of this photo is you can get a glimpse of the amazing “distracted boyfriend” meme slide @gilmae made with my face. 😂😂😂 https://t.co/KTEwLWSLVZ


    @gilmae Here’s the full thing, which made me laugh stupidly loud. 👏👏👏 https://t.co/sgpwDTP8RM


    @ktkaushik @SydTechLeaders Was lovely to meet you! And thank you for your excellent rant.


    @glasnt Twitter’s looks like a rolling filing cabinet.

    Self, when your @SydTechLeaders Techtivus rant requires a costume, you have perhaps gone too far. 🤦‍♀️


    @gilmae I could give you more lines you know.

    @nickzoic @ErinJZimmer Heh. Well, usually you’d knit a more interesting stitch than just plain stocking stitch. 😂

    RT @burgotastic: Excuse me, we fucken what?! https://t.co/1MtTgcAQvR


    Just when I think I’m done with Good Omens fanfic, I discover a new genre that’s all about Crowley buying Christmas presents for Aziraphale. And it is DELIGHTFUL.


    @unixbigot Huh. I had no idea.


    @minxdragon Here’s one – https://t.co/HWazlzbW4x


    @minxdragon And this one is ADORBS https://t.co/Rj7FwG1ciK


    @minxdragon Just search “Aziraphale Christmas” ❤️


    @minxdragon This one is cute. I hope they finish it!! https://t.co/DR806IwLYp


    @minxdragon THIS IS YOUR FAULT NOW I CANT STOP


    @randomknits YOU’LL CRUSH IT!

    @drzax My anxiety needs a 5 minute buffer.


    Speckled yarns look like vomit, as do 96% of “Find Your Fade” shawls. Come at me, bro. https://t.co/b6tMRzcxGw


    Wollmeise is way overrated. (I’m on a roll here.) https://t.co/b6tMRzcxGw


    @ErinJZimmer Dyed sock blanks are a thing – they didn’t invent them. It’s a easiest way to dye a yarn with a long colour gradient.
