I hate the word “scrapbooking”. Something about it feels very kitschy and makes me think of glue sticks and gel pens. But now that I’ve deleted Facebook and Instagram from my phone I’m excited to start building physical books with my photos 📷

I just googled “Shakespeare’s house” and found out you can visit his birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon. If you visited my birthplace you would be visiting a town I never lived in and don’t remember 😅

I’m giving a presentation at work tomorrow. Give me all your public speaking tips below 👇

Watching Masters of the Air after watching Band of Brothers and The Pacific. What would it take for Austin Butler to smile, frown, or raise an eyebrow? Show is great but we’re 5 eps in and this man has been too cool for school the whole time 🧐

🦋 I don’t want to support Trump’s tech bro cronies
🦋 Bluesky is a public benefit corp, valuing mission over profits

First flight where I’ve seen this real time view from the plane’s tail cam. Can’t decide whether to love it or hate it

I had the best time crashing my sister’s business trip in Vancouver this weekend 🍁

So, is it still called a tweet?

Have not researched. Here are my other guesses based on the name and logo:

- a chirp?
- a bloop!

Or is it just a post 🤔
