If you're a solo male cyclist and you find yourself just a few meters behind a solo woman cyclist for more than a kilometer, pass her so you don't freak her out. Shout out to the guy who followed me from downtown all the way out to the middle of nowhere. My long ride shouldn't feel threatening.

@lauraklein.bsky.social I'm so happy to have discovered that you're on the NNG podcast because I've been missing What is wrong with ux. 🫠 The world could use you and Kate amidst all the dumpster fire of the UX industry and everything else.

Feeling grateful for my peeps today. I have a lovely community and they have my back. ❤️ Also, I'm very happy to be at a place where random men's opinions mean very little to me. Might be the perimenopause. Might be my big age. Either way, I'm good with it. 💪

Nothing turns me off a talk or podcast more than someone stating with their resume/ background, unless their career is the actual topic. Is that just a me thing?

My teammate is making it kind of difficult to get my work done today, especially when he leans across the keyboard for forehead kisses.

Tech execs do not have, like, a theory of mind for people who aren’t tech execs. If they did, they wouldn’t be so frequently baffled by how repulsive normal people think their whole deal is right now

Last year I changed my working hours to match my perimenopausal energy levels. Working 7-3 also gives me time to go for long rides after work in the summer 🚲

Went roller skating for the first time since I was a child. Turns out there's a roller rink right by my office. Feels so different from ice skating and rollerblading. I was like a baby deer on ice for the first half. 😂

Sign that reads: no tax, total store. HST is included in all prices.

This week's newsletter is about mental health and facilitation: how hard it can be to lead a session when you're just not feeling up to it. It was cathartic to write as a person who lives with anxiety and experiences burnout cycles. If this resonates, you can find it on my site tomorrow. ❤️
