I’m always on the dark side

It's definitely here to stay (though it would be in the settings only soon and not the jack-o-lantern). Was just a fun one to release around Halloween😂

Context for those who don't know - the VA Run was yesterday and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. An absolute SCORCHER of a day. ☀️ This morning, it is mostly overcast/very cloudy.

Well done to all the runners!

There are 1,700 people in #Brunei today, looking at the weather thinking "You've got to be kidding me!" ⛅

Not a bad word about Bluey! It is an absolute gem of a show. 😆

Probably not many kids sit and watch Planet Earth for long - my kids would rather play than watch a documentary.

Sometimes seeing animals in their natural habitats also creates it's own ethical issues - like going on safari.

#brainrot is has infiltrated the local supermarket bakery aisle (they were the only themed cakes on display). Oh dear...

Dark Mode Has Arrived at Buffer 👻 Reduce eye strain, protect your focus, and create content comfortably any time of day, whether you're scheduling posts at midnight or engaging with your community at dawn.

At a previous All-Hands, the incredible Sofia Toso shared the design team's philosophy that inspired our approach to Dark Mode - "komorebi", which is a Japanese word for light filtering through forest leaves.

Dark Mode has arrived at @Buffer.com!

This is the second most requested (non-channel) feature on Buffer's feature request board, and it has been a long time in the making.

One of the things I love about Buffer is the thought and care that goes into every feature. (1/2)

Are there parents that don't let kids watch nature documentaries? Personally, we watch them with our kids, though the kids are less engaged with documentaries than animated characters and seeing animals in real life.

Absolute legend at keeping on top of everything Help Center!

Being sick reminded me how much empathy at work matters - the teammate who says “we’ve got this,” the manager who checks in to ask how you’re feeling, the culture that trusts you’ll come back when you’re ready.

Grateful to work somewhere that makes space for being human.(2/2)

My family and I have been down with the flu for almost two weeks.

We missed most of my brother’s visit, and I’ve fallen behind on half-marathon training. But one thing I didn’t feel was guilt for slowing down. (1/2)

Thank you! It is a game changer!

It really is! We have about 10 different versions 😂

I'm kind of new to the whole Bluesky thing and it seems awfully quiet in here. Any tips for a newbie?

Not nerdy enough!

Woke up at 1am and can’t go back to sleep? How about a 3am run? Who even am I?

After three weeks hiding, Venom is finally out of his hide!!!

Absolutely relieved. Was getting worried there. 😅 Now have to get him some mealworms during my lunch break.

The difference between the free and paid Canva is huge. Wish I needed to use Canva more so I could justify the paid plan. 😅 Love Canva!

I LOVE Canva (especially since I am really bad at designing things 😅 )!

It was incredible!

The "love" story was really all just about jumping each other. And at the most highly inappropriate times (Oh, is your friend about to be killed? But look at the wing leader - so hot).

Only thing that got me through is that it was an easy read with an interesting plot. (2/2)

Fourth Wing was painful (and I wanted to love it - as it was recommended by many I admire).

The main character was highly irritating, repetitive ("But he wants to killll meeeee") and just such a downer. (1/2)

Remote work can get lonely, but I sometimes meet some interesting new coworkers. 😅

Have a kid that won't eat at the table? #Parenting hack for the #deeplyfeeling kids. Boardgames!

#Boardgames at the dinner table might be a no-go for some families, but for us, it is a great way to get our wilful 4-year old to sit at the table with us.
