Dogs are partly (red-green) color bind. If you want to know what your dog sees, install the app "Chromatic Vision Simulator" on your phone.

Select option P (protanopia), point the camera towards something colorful and you will see things from the dog's perspective.

You will quickly notice that the choices we make when it comes to the color of toys often aren't the best.

“Oh this? It’s my emotional support pile of empty notebooks,” I say as I tenderly add another to the stack.

Stressed? Got that Friday the 13th feeling?

Just watch this. It's video Valium.

The 5 second rule doesn't count if you have a 3 second dog.

Disruption is happening

I’m going to tell you the story of the man who solved a crime.

Not, like, a cop who put together the clues and got his man, but a person who took a crime as old as civilization and fixed the problem where it got you in trouble.

The man: Artur Virgílio Alves Reis.

The place: 1920s Portugal.

The crime: Counterfeiting.

The obvious mistake: That the money is counterfeit.

(This is going to be a long 🧵 . Just trust me.)

Courage is a child of serenity. It is what you get when you are certain in your deepest principles, and in all of your actions, you are merely following that deep current. You do what you feel is morally necessary, and you are not afraid because you have accepted that the cost and risk of your choices is lower than the cost and risk of compromising in your deepest beliefs, not because it is courageous but because it is right.
