It's everyone's favorite day: #WaterfallWednesday! This week: Yosemite Falls in Yosemite National Park, California

This one was really special. Flickers spend a lot of time on the ground eating ants, and bird people spend a lot of time looking up. As soon as you see it it’s already on its way somewhere else. But this time I was so lucky. I never flushed the bird; just turned back around and thanked the island for its gift.

2023-02-13 day 241 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off). 

I followed a Tatyworks tutorial. I went rogue in spots, which is becoming increasingly common. It was fun!

2023-02-11/12 day 239/240 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off).

This was a bit weird, but also strangely fun!

I followed another Tatyworks tutorial. And by follow, I mean sort of but not entirely. 🤣 I went rogue at one point, then reined it in at the end.

I used a photo I took of my dearly beloved, @Fahim, of course. And at one point, gave him entirely too many moustache curls. 😂 I fixed it, though. The curls were a bit much.

Halfway through, I quit. I hated it at that point. Then a day later, I figured, nope, gotta finish it. It’s all about learning something, right? Right? I mean, that’s why I do these tutorials. Right? 🤣 So I finished it. And here is the most lovely result.

I had a peaceful trip and was able to spend a good amount of time with some of the birds. Here’s the Santa Cruz Island superstar: the Island scrub-jay. Also three separate people recognized me from my Twitter photo account!

I got laid off yesterday. We'll be ok, but it still sucks. Tough time to be on the market.

I'm giving myself space this week, but applied to a role yesterday 🤞🏻

Looking for roles in open source as a senior IC, management in a larger org, or nonprofit leadership. I'm most known for partnerships, community building, nonprofit operations, and program management, and I hold my own in compliance and media relations.

Hello! I have just discovered the delightful #MarshMadness hashtag. Here's a #beaver #pond and #marsh at Barnes Camp on the road up to Smugglers Notch, #Vermont. Mt. Mansfield, the state's highest peak is to the left. August 2022. #GreenMtns #MountainMonday

@agneev The version I’m using is the App Store version — so no joy there, I’m afraid 🙂

@davemark

@davemark Just switched to it today after the announcement 🙂 I’ve been using Spark but Spark’s been getting slower and slower as time went on and it was becoming annoying. So switched over to Outlook today.

It’s much faster, but there does seem to be a delay (a good 1 - 2 minutes) in receiving Gmail e-mails when compared to Spark which I’m still running on iOS. Other than that, it seems to be solid and works well 🙂

Imposter Syndrome is very real. I don't know about you guys, but I basically spend a large portion of my time thinking about it.

I think we as a society spend too much time considering and focusing on our transactions. "Am I enough?" "Do I deserve this nice thing?" "Someone liked my toot - will they figure out I don't have everything together?"

It's interesting when you think about it because if I were to ask you if you have those thoughts - most people would agree. "Sure, that happens sometimes" or "Of course, everyone feels like that sometimes..." right?

If we can agree that everyone feels like that, can we then begin to challenge if people have TIME to be that concerned about you? They are busy worried about their own problem and figuring out if you think THEY are enough.

You are enough. You might stumble, you might need to learn more. But that's okay. That's life. We're all out here doing our best. Some of us seem to be doing better or worse than you - but trust me, that is just the public facade.

Be kinder to yourself. You deserve it.
