I like words, numbers, concepts, observations, ideas, music, silliness, kindness, being oneself. I dislike being embarrassed for humanity. (she/her)

I used to think I was quite self-aware, thanks to how much time I spent analyzing myself.

Recently, I’ve realized I’m actually quite self-UNaware... which explains why I've felt the need to spend so much time analyzing myself.

/ It's too late to fix it now,

@skjsaurabh @jmugan I'm relieved to hear this. I've been afraid to log into my #wordpress admin page for years, dreading how much updating and relearning I need to do, wondering if I should investigate other platforms in case it isn't worth my time to rebuild what's already there. Rebuilding, it is!

Realization: every project needs its own clipboard. No matter how much of a project is digital, brainstorming on paper happens. A solid writing surface and clip for extra notes can't help but help! This could also help keep our number of projects under control. #clipboard #joy :)

I have so much to say to the world, and yet I've been quiet for far too long. I have been writing, though, and a lot of ideas have been percolating. I do intend to share, a lot, eventually.

The mandate to get vaccinated is not what is limiting our freedom: the VIRUS is limiting our freedom. Let's fight the virus, together, on all fronts! If you're not with us, at war against the virus, then you are on the side of the virus, and you are a traitor to humanity.

I did it: I went out! There's masked people dancing, and the lovely hum of conversation, and yet space. I'm glad I got out here, because I'm gonna miss this when it gets crowded again.
