Is you struggle with a mental illness, or even if you don't, it has a story and a message that you need to hear.

Ren has been there, is there now, and understands.

This is a musical and storytelling masterpiece from a young man and his guitar. It has struck a chord with so many people, myself included. It might just do so with you as well.

Listen to the end; Ren has a message just for you.

My daughter told me today she no longer tidies her room, instead she 'resets' it to tidy each Sunday for the week ahead . She said mentally this helps because tidy sounds such a chore while reset doesn't, and the thought that there's a weekly reset means she doesn't feel bad if the room gets messy in the week, because she'll reset on Sunday!
Anyway I thought it was cute and might be useful for someone

Hi where can I find all the funny women on mastadon? Too many boys in my feed sorry boys. #womenincomedy

„Let’s drive to Minimalism“

Like @paezha I decided to create the mountain view often found in images with minimalism.
And for a long time I wanted to code these animated layers slowing down the farther they are.

Here they are in a minimalist style.

Maybe it will end as a game with more detail and a driving object …

Please stop using “mom” as an example of an unsophisticated user of technology. This reinforces harmful stereotypes.

Instead, I suggest using “congressperson”.

Today’s Life is a Sacred Text is about the death of Nadav and Avihu.

And it’s about the kind of toxic—sometimes trauma-inducing—“mentorship” that has existed for decades, & I know for a fact continues on today.

It’s time to name it so we can break the cycle.
