And over time, that friction becomes harder to handle if you're not practising it.
AI isn't all bad. But my aim right now? Balance. More playdates, less screen time. Staying curious, asking questions, and helping my kids find their own balance too. (2/2)
My child said chatting with #AI is "like playing with a friend who always wants to play what you want to play."
That's when it stopped feeling harmless.
Of course kids will favour AI. No disagreement. No friction. None of the messy, necessary parts of human interaction. (1/2)
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!" ⛅

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)

I’m Mel, and I create content about remote work, customer advocacy, life at @Buffer.com and working from home with two young kids.
Whether you’ve been here a while or just joined, I’m really glad you’re here. 💛

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 "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)
