Hey, hey, hey it’s Friday so go and turn your work email off on your phone for the weekend. It’s the greatest.

The @loopconf schedule is out. I’ll be speaking about CMS replatforming & all the cool shit I’ve been working on with the HM and our client’s teams over the last year.

One of my favourite #wcus talks, @Ipstenu on tropes, tech and lesbians.

A true professional would be prouder of the bug fix than the Hamilton the Musical and Dear Evan Hansen references in the unit tests. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/42380

As I fight off seeing ?️‍? as a symbol of his hateful survey, Turnbull’s pride at passing SSM can fuck right off as far as I’m concerned.

My caffe latte order was misheard as caramel latte due to my accent and I have a question: why would you do this to coffee?

Holiday over, I turned work email back on. Oh my.

Twelve days, ten performances and I’m about to board a plane putting an end to my broadway adventure.

I genuinely think @DearEvanHansen will be one of the greatest theatrical experiences of my life.

An incomplete set of Playbills from my broadway adventure. It’s been a fun twelve days.

At the Lion King for the final stop on my broadway adventure.

Tonight’s viewing: Chicago.

In New York, had to visit pride head office

I have a bigger problem with gutless copy writing/editorial than the cartoon.

Hamilton by my side (& @miss_jwo).

Everything is legal in New Jersey

Just finished seeing my third Evan, Noah Galvin is damn good.

Last night’s show review: 1645 wasted seats.

I like you, L train.

Three layers of dessert. For one.

Tradition dictates there be too much food – according to tv specials, anyway – got it covered.

Having a traditional “home style” thanksgiving dinner in the heart of Manhattan tonight.

Two Evans down. Aiming for a third on the weekend if I can get last minute tickets. It’s not often I’m in New York.

Thank you @DearEvanHansen, that was something special. I’m a mess but it was well worth the trip.

I’m not paranoid about forgetting the tickets to the show today. It just happens that putting them on a chair blocking the door is the most convenient place to put them. Not even a little paranoid.

After weeks of hearing hateful comments from the No campaign I’ve decided to keep the pride flag in my name for a while.

Fuck ‘em, I am proud of who I am & I refuse to let the ACL & co affect the meaning of this symbol.

Passport, boarding pass, Sunday’s @DearEvanHansen ticket, and 10,000 miles of air travel.

Let’s start this Broadway adventure. #TodayWillBeALongDay

If I never hear Macklemore again it will be too soon. Surely that will disappear from high roatation now. I guess that’s a positive.

The good news story: a yes vote that will lead to bunch of discriminatory practices being written into law.

I’ll watch the result because maybe once this is over I’ll see the pride flag as more than symbol of this hateful plebiscite again.

Four days before holidays, a workmate tells me I am redundant and may as well go early. I will take care not to let the door hit me on the way out.

Reading this thread, it seems the outcome of this stupid SSM survey is a seperate definition of marriage & enshrining discrimination in the act, including making it easier for schools to expel gay kids.

Evangelical religious group and evangelical atheists are trying to yell over each other on a corner.

Please just let me through. I just want to buy a carrot. Let me buy my carrot.

Alternative headline: Broadway nerds world over start making travel plans. Yes, I am projecting.

JUST IN: @Lin_Manuel will return as Alexander Hamilton when @HamiltonMusical plays Puerto Rico in January 2019! https://t.co/yMrvDjZesT pic.twitter.com/8AgLk8XSSD

I’m embracing this, slightly tempted to see Midler in @HelloDollyBway too.

A friend’s seeing @DearEvanHansen NOW & posting playbill photos on FB. To say I’m eager to get to NYC to do the same is understated at best.

Slack is down. I am nude. I am burning shit.

Is dressing up as treasonous scoundrel Arron Burr too niche for Halloween?

Started something here once, it didn’t go as planned but turned out quite well.

“It might be nice to get Hamilton on your site” Hello Hamilton: random @HamiltonMusical lyrics in @WordPress‘s admin https://wordpress.org/plugins/hello-hamilton/

Dreamt @Lin_Manuel was on trial as a developer at @humanmadeltd but delayed it to help Porte Rico. Need to lay off the Hamilton for a while.

Sunrise at the office. #hmretreat

Having so much fun hanging out with everyone at the work retreat.

Reached a high point in code review today, LGTM ended up as LGBT in a pull request.

New shiny is turning my 6K file into an 8K file. I don’t see the appeal.

Just had a sip of 49 year old wine thanks to mates at a Wine Shop. Smelt better than it tasted but it was $2/bottle

Great to see @jeffr0 and @wptavern taking action to deal with trolls, thanks team.

Need to start work at 9am today as I’m setting up at a new office. Finding it very hard to fill the time, how do you all do it?
