Pst. Hey you. Yeah. You.

Do yourself a solid, will you? Stop that spiraling. You know it's a long way down, because you've been down there before.

Put the device down. Step away from the keyboard. Find something small that you can do to make your situation better. Put that dish away. Dust that monitor. Clean your desk. Go stand outside for a few minutes or take a walk if that suits your fancy. Pick a little thing and use it to break the cycle. You'll be glad you did. 💚

Surprised you haven't popped up on Ancestry as a relative!

i don’t know if it’s because i pay $5 a month or because i know this is a 1-jester operation (with a few jester’s elves like kel & cher), but i resent it like hell when some cracked egg bitches about the interface or lack of particular function. it feels like they’ve walked into my home & immediately complain about the temperature, my cats & the coffee & cinnamon toast i offer them. (that’s my go to hostess offering if it’s not a meal visit.)

When I got home cataract surgery, my first reaction was, "This house is so dusty!"
OTOH, it's easier now to check the shower for spiders before I get in.

Maybe, and I’m just spitballing here, the Biden approval rating polls were as wrong as the election polls 🤷🏻‍♀️

First on my list - if your current employer offers free training, take it now. Especially now as we head to the holidays. If there is anything that you feel is a gap in your skillset, fill it now on their dime.

Things are destined to get a lot busier around here. It's inevitable. Some tips to keep us sane:

1. Mute or block anyone who harshes your mellow.
2. Welcome newcomers, report asshats.
3. Follow who you like. Post about what you like. That's how followings are made.
4. Turn off the Community Firehose if it ever overwhelms you.
5. There's a moment between authoring the post and posting the post. USE IT. If you post mean-spirited content, then we all look mean-spirited. See #1.

Are you curious about the culture here? Here's a primer.

1. We don't care about like or follower counts. Just be yourself.
2. We can be political, but we aren't zealots. Mutual respect reigns supreme here.
3. We have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to community abuse. Trolls are dealt with immediately. :trollsplat:
4. We do not frown upon mutes or blocks. People are like flavors. You won't like them all and they won't all like you. Use the tools.
