    Oh my gosh I love Dippy 🥹
    The steps you take don't have to be big, they just need to take you in the right direction.

    Was Prickles an Emma idea or a team idea?

    I vote for Prickles!
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    Prickles has to be the cutest name for a dino <3

    PS. Emma I have a really similar dino sat on my desk too! Always makes me so happy looking at it, and I hope it brings you guys lots of happiness too.
    Hello amazing human (yes, that's YOU). I wish that you could see the amazing person who I see within you  ✨

    I imagine The Mix HQ in like 10 years time with a huge display of hundreds of dinos named after all the previous employees xD (they're gonna need new employees just for watering the plants)

    I love this thread - the cheeriest thing I have read for a while!! Dino HQ would be the best but I can see how this might cause some challenges with the fundraising team etc. P.S. I will be an employee for watering the plants =)
