Every week (for the last 253 weeks!!) we order takeout from the local Indian restaurant, and lately I've been writing little notes of gratitude in the order notes. They've been writing back and it's simply joy ๐Ÿฅฐ I try to think of something new each week to keep it interesting...

pouring one out for the systems thinkers who can see the abyss and have to live with the darkness

Truthfully, I have already used Ben's guide to set up my consulting clients properly on Notion. This is a wildly comprehensive guide for anyone working with teams! Time to celebrate shipping!!!

Alpha launch! First modules of Architecting Workspaces are with alpha testers. This is my guidebook (and toolkit) for building fault-tolerant and scalable Notion workspaces for teams. My consultant's manual. More in the coming months. For now, giving myself time to celebration! ๐ŸŽ‰

Being conflict avoidant is not a badge of honour; you're just making things more challenging for everyone around you who is bending over backwards trying to understand your silence, indirect cues, or mixed messages. Being honest and direct is a life skill truly worth cultivating.

I saw someone genuinely irritated that Taylor Swift fans are having some moments of joy these last couple of days despite the horrors of the world, I want to reassure that person that when the Taylor Swift fans are done having their joy the horrors will still be there, don't worry, they can catch up

Artistry is EI (expressive intelligenceโ€”an intelligence developed by creatively exploring meaning-making and feeling) rather than the process of producing an artifact of skill (technical talent). Technical reproducibility doesnโ€™t capture the aura of artistic expression. nulla machina nisi cerebrum

there's useful automation, and then there's this broader lie they're telling: error-prone, environmentally problematic software built and managed by terrible people is a perfectly symmetrical replacement for talent, education, age, and experience

"Corporations, on the one hand, are using AI for social good as a shield to say, look, we are working on fundamental rights and sustainability. But on the other hand, theyโ€™re providing the technology that is fueling war. Itโ€™s hypocrisy." - @abeba.bsky.social thebulletin.org/2025/07/ai-f...

thebulletin.orgAI for good, with caveats: How a keynote speaker was censored during an international artificial intelligence summitQ&A with Abeba Birhane on how she was censored during the AI for Good summit and how the industry can do better.

I once fought in a pillow fight league as Marie Slamtoinette. We trained for months, developed wrestler-style intros and costumes (I made mine!), then fought in a refereed fight at a bar in Vancouver. People could take bets which raised money for a women's shelter. I won my fight against Sue Nami!

Share a piece of lore about yourself

How it works: There are 3 rounds. You want to make clean shots to the face with your pillow. You can't grab the other persons pillow but you can block their hits. Where possible you want to wrap the pillow around their legs for a take-down, ending the round. Nobody could take me down; I'm too wiley

Spent an hour writing a thoughtful reply to someone in r/ADHD subreddit struggling with meal planning (my special interest!) sharing a dozen diff tips, and ways to make it meditative rather than overwhelming. Auto-removed: "We do not allow discussion about cannabis, supplements, or drugs." ??

I made no mention of any drugs or supplements. The over-policing of helpful content is exhausting. When did sharing genuine strategies become harder than the actual problems we're trying to solve? Guess it's just not the best outlet to try and help folks, so won't be wasting my time there anymore :/
