It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.
Love to see good examples of brand guidelines shared with the public. Nice work by @contentharmony & @KaneJamison.
Especially into the "Competitors" section in their voice & tone guide. As a freelancer, I wish every company supplied details like these.

That Friday freelancer feeling when the task you've been procrastinating on all week takes you...one whole hour 🤦♀️
This week's new pregnancy experience is simultaneous heartburn and hunger pangs. It's a weird sensation.
22 down, 18-ish to go. I'll say this: pregnancy is not boring.

"That new client or project (not to mention paycheck) is beyond tempting, so you convince yourself that you can fit just one more thing on your already-stuffed plate. You do that a few more times and you find yourself completely spread thin."
Get out of my head @kat_boogaard

"Especially these last two years or so, burnout has felt like more of a staple of the human condition as opposed to a rare or periodic phenomenon."

Props to the various red carpet hosts doing their best, but asking random fans who they're rooting for tonight rather than showing actual Oscar nominees winning inside the theater is... not great TV.

I hate that we’re finding out about these wins via Twitter. HATE!!!!!!!!!!!! #Oscars

Being pregnant is so trippy. I'm just sitting here at my desk, typing away at my little blog post, and then I get a literal gut punch from the tiny person growing inside me.
And every time, it reminds me that my entire life is about to be irrevocably changed.
Trippy.

Tempted to screenshot every line in this wonderful interview but this part— followed by the idea of a Super Special episode!— really did me in
I talked with the creator of The Baby-Sitters Club @RachelShukert about Netflix's decision to cancel the show
