    @ButlerMaurice Cross stitch is easy – the stitches are by nature square. Knitting them was a lot harder! https://t.co/i6PZK6CsNu


    Very relevant to conversations I’ve had with folks in @SydTechLeaders… https://t.co/PFS5F8V86X


    RT @Reuters: WHO is changing the phrase ‘social distancing’ to recommend ‘physical distancing,’ encouraging people to stay connected via so…


    RT @c0nc0rdance: The good news: I’m living like a billionaire.

    The bad news: It’s Howard Hughes. https://t.co/mIdgVFjteo


    So it turns out “Brighten your day and stave off cabin fever during this time of global uncertainty whilst also doing my part to support a local business doing it tough” isn’t one of the standard reasons florists provide for sending flowers. 🤷‍♀️💐 https://t.co/pxgEBNlRPF


    @mmastertheone I went with “Just Because”.


    Spaghetti Aglio e Olio with lots of kale… https://t.co/iaQXZHGpuu https://t.co/GcYC775LmG


    @bron2042 It was tasty! And Rodd hates dealing with kale (but happily eats it), so I did this one.


    Tiger King is BLOWING MY MIND. 🐯🤯


    RT @nocontextroyco: The Roys sure do look great, but what do their tastes say about them? @rachsyme wrote about it for @NewYorker https:/…


    RT @CarmeNogales: Hourglass of time and destiny ⏳.

    Please stay safe. It is going to pass soon.

    Good Omens fan fic in which Crowley learns to knit, popularises yarnbombing (of course; I TOLD you it was evil), and knits Aziraphale a cabled sweater. And no, somehow I didn’t write it! ❤️ https://t.co/iursUr5Poe

    @MichelePlayfair @Amys_Kapers Shite, just realised I didn’t take down the upcoming talks on mine. 🙁

    Office setup. Bought that stand at @officeworks a few years back for $70. It’s a pain to configure, but it’s nice to be able to stand up for a bit. https://t.co/Mc5XpVCUzb https://t.co/OxiyUyy5rI


    @hitsthings There are always giant bowls of them in conference meeting rooms


    RT @nocontextomens: and remember to stick to social distancing, unlike a certain angel and a demon i could mention 👀 https://t.co/DFPM2h6lhy


    @gilmae LOL. Poor Magic Mouse is on his last, uh, legs tbh. Chews through batteries and has a habit of disconnecting from Bluetooth multiple times a day.


    Just want to give a shoutout to @JaycarAU for great service today! I needed a lapel mic on short notice, and they were able to deliver to my house in under two hours and I didn’t even have to step outside. Pretty awesome. 👏


    RT @DoctorWho_BBCA: Incoming message… #DoctorWho https://t.co/lTXziuzWVQ


    @voltagex @stilgherrian Take care, buddy.


    RT @mobywhale: Please reach out to us if you / anyone you know need help with anything job search related. https://t.co/1fvreLF9PA


    @JuddWinick @randomknits SO TEMPTED DONNA.

    RT @AOC: The 1st of the month is coming up.

    One thing that you can do right now if you’ve been financially impacted is call ALL your bill…


    RT @MarkAgee: So we’re doing The Trolley Problem but the most important thing is to save the trolley


    RT @turzaak: @RealSexyCyborg I keep coming to the conclusion that people are hung-up on the 3D-printed-mask idea because it lets them play…

    Meh, I know I’m being a little uncharitable, what with people printing respirators and such. I know folks mean well. I just thought that reply was 🔥 and so, so on point.


    @The_McJones “Spent a few hours working on a schematic for a new bio containment unit…” vs “printed out and taped together a pattern for a blouse.” 😂


    @turzaak Oh no, they do. A non-trivial number of men love to tell me about Jacquard looms, despite the fact that I’m a knitter and a coder and I’ve given entire tech talks on the topic. It’ll happen. You can set your watch by it.


    Can’t believe it took me a full week of WFH to realise I could knit during VC meetings… https://t.co/nZefZzkwHW


    @twasink @Reidyd I don’t knit nearly as much as people think I do these days, truth be told.

    For what it’s worth, my wedding only had five people and was live streamed on the Internet. #aheadofthecurve 💅


    RT @Peter_Fitz: Love this, sent by a mate:

    “Your parents were called on to fight world wars, you are being called on to wash your hands an…


    @julielerman We were a mere 5 years later! Granted, “streaming” meant a very tiny, blurry Windows Media Player file… 😂


    One good thing today: Petey’s radioactivity has gone down enough that he can sit on us and have cuddles again! (His poo is still dangerous for another week though.) https://t.co/h49VOX29C8 https://t.co/RhhoF11y3x


    RT @tobyhede: Nothing says “these rules were made by men” like limiting haircuts to 30 minutes


    @gilmae This thing where you are up past 10pm is definitely the weirdest part of quarantine.


    @gilmae The only thing keeping me from going full cave-dwelling nocturnal Gollum is the daily team video checkin at 8:30.


    Given my current level of disillusionment with most politicians, today’s hat choice was an easy one. 😾✊ https://t.co/IjlpeHDWRn https://t.co/Q9ONsGCNcZ


    Ventured out to @brickfieldsbakery to pick up my pre-order this morning. We’re making a conscious effort to support our local businesses as much as we can. ❤️ https://t.co/7U9gQZswK8 https://t.co/yVHEZeV5hU
