We all want to be seen and accepted just as we are.
Many of us have been taught again and again to keep our masks tightly in place.
Because of terrible things visited on us by those whose acceptance we have sought, we visit those things on others.
Reinforcing the patterns we wish to break.
I am amazed. I haven’t had a hibiscus bloom like this before

One fun thing in the midst of my CD Re-rip project has been digging into the contents of the “Enhanced CD.”
For the most part, I just grab anything that has the MOV extension.
But it’s a window into a brief period of history when playing video on our computers was amazing. Further, it made production sense to try to cram several video files into the space a song occupies, instead of delivering the content online. It would have taken many hours to download each of those small files.
The later Enhanced CDs really are just interfaces to launch hyperlinks to content on a server somewhere, and probably long offline by now.
The artists seem so young and little, though they were once giant to me.
Just backed the latest OrbitKey
Just did Ancestry DNA. The surprised at the regional focus. My genetic background is less diffuse than others close to me. Nearly half Swedish and Norwegian. The percentage of German is actually lower than I anticipated.
I have had the diagnosis of ADD (ADHD now) for almost 30 years. I no longer take meds nor do I attend any type of therapy. Instead, I’m protective, and I have the luxury of surrounding myself and working in places with people where I do not have to explain or defend myself.
Oof. I just spent hours answering questions for a survey about ADHD. Go [@catieosaurus]!(https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7ia8GKMYr2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) It made me feel things and remember things, but also helped me to feel proud of everything I have managed to accomplish despite this. Please share. If you have the diagnosis or are seeking it, I see you.
Three Technical Support Truths:
Many other truths and corollaries can be derived from support experience, but these are ones I’m willing to state out loud.
To be fair (sung in three-part harmony), all operating systems suck. This is one of my three simple truths, to be embraced as a professional who supports such things.
