I think Dan's working hard at it, but it's great - I think I stumbled upon a Brené Brown one years ago and stuck with it.

Where did you get this actual footage of me at the desk? 'She's my HEAVEEEEE N'

Afternoon bop along with Republica! What a day

Does anyone here listen to 10% happier, the podcast with Dan Harris? He's a great interviewer, and something about his voice reminds me of our own @rickoshea.bsky.social (but American). Lots of little thought-provoking gems in the back catalogue.

Done!

What a ridiculous start to a conversation! Impossible!

Not a writer or illustrator, but part of the community? Give me a shout and I can add you to this starter pack! (And you can also go follow @childrensbooksireland.ie !)

A poster of sheep cheeses

Uh-oh, Roquefort Reveal @maxrushden.bsky.social - it IS a sheep's cheese! My money is now firmly on Pecorino, a weird choice for this cheeseboard but the most normal of these 🐑 cheeses 🧀

This is horrendous, I'm so sorry you were put through this.

Ah David!!! I'm here studying a poster of sheep cheeses and even if it is a vaguely normal cheese it's definitely not a normal cheeseboard

Thanks goodness we've been Drawing with Rob for so long 😆 All good, hope you guys are too x
