This is why I’m mostly transactional with folks that I don’t know very well, save for a few exceptions (like feeling called to give to someone/some entity or mentoring).

Not all of us have an endless capacity to give. Me, I’m the one that doesn’t have endless capacity.

Maybe I’ll never live in Houston again. This quick access to beautiful trails is underrated.

Another weekend, another hike. This one was a mindfulness hike, so we had to be unplugged. No pictures. But there was a stream, so it was so peaceful out there.

I love when I run an errand on a whim and find a way to complete another longer standing undone errand on the way 😂

My brother greeted me via text in Spanish 😂😂😂 it’s rubbing off 🤣

At what age are you an auntie?

Sobbing and weeping 😭😭😭

When AirTags first came out and I warned that they were Apple's gift to stalkers, so many Apple fanboys told me that I was overreacting.

“People of the global majority” in place of “people of color.” Me gusta.

I think this was extremely helpful AND empathetic. Even mentioning his luck in his journey, which never disqualifies your hard work. And from someone that people won’t really seek to push back on.

As someone whose ADHD needs to not be at home to be productive sometimes, not all coffee shops are like this. Get the tea, it's typically cheaper. And libraries work, too!

Yes AND invalidating valid feelings for the sake of productivity and ambition is not a healthy way to move. Ignoring your inner world for the sake of ambition can only work for some. Not to mention, nothing changes, no impact is had. Everyone suffers.

Very 'individual' coded.

There is a popular saying, or at least I assume it's popular given the amount of times I've seen it in self help books:

It's not your fault, but it is your responsibility.

Focusing on powerlessness because it is easier and feels better doesn't absolve you from responsibility.

I am back to my studies, though, getting back to a consistent schedule is tough. In a bit, I will also be back to focused research mode. Sigh.

I am not going to be able to make it to RenderATL 2024 | June 12 - June 14, 2024 and I would like to assign my ticket to a Black person who can make it to the conference, would benefit from being there, and couldn’t otherwise afford to go.

Is this you? DMs are open 💕
