I like to use diagrams in a setting where I can explain what I did, and spend a few minutes in the next meeting with the diagram talking through it

We’ve used diagrams successfully in my team to get on the same page about a lot but it needs to be complimented by something else

Tbh it was the platipussary joke and then the moustache.

But believe in your own optimism if you need to!

I’m still working on it. I did check out the sharpie pens but found them insufficient juicy when writing 😔

Ah I took a pic!!
Clearly a blue bin. Clearly a box marked “dead raccoon.” Clearly living in a society.

This reminds me of the time I was out for a walk on recycling day in Toronto and someone placed a box atop their blue bin labelled “dead raccoon”

Maybe this is all just some persistent malaise from the grad school departure but I don’t love this feeling

The only exception to this persistent feeling was when I was writing the draft of my novel in March

This is a solid option to consider, thank you!

I’ve been contemplating a Montblanc, I think in this situation I have to go to a speciality store and hang out for a bit to test some options which might be the only way to solve this

Thank you for the all important signal boost, Christen! I will find this pen!!

Giving me weird reminders of that episode of South Park with Towlee rewriting his memoir 👀

The way I keep my sanity is by re-imagining everything as radical hope
