While the concept of dual monitors in the workplace basically being standard issue at this point does keep me up at night (if we need two - sometimes three - huge screens to do work maybe there’s too much work), some days I do revel in using one of them for more nourishing content consumption.

During that time I had the honour of witnessing 18-year-old local wildcard Willow Hardy take off on one of the bombs of the day. While she didn’t quite stick it and was knocked out of the comp, I figured I could use this little space to give her a well-deserved shoutout:
