Finally yet another depression episode is over. I am just as tired as usual, though it is not that exhausting to exist now.

Career change is a substantial move that requires not only much effort, but also tons of motivation and... courage.
I am not even that sure I have it all, yet what I definitely lack is a desire to stay in the field. I am fed up with journalism in Russia and I'm not going back.

While fighting depression, I got to appreciate my routines even more. As my doc says, ‘at least something’ is not actually the least. David Burnes said in his book on mood therapy that people are likely to feel much better when they do anything rather than when they do practically nothing.

WHY ARE Y'ALL NOT USING ALT TEXT. WHAT'S WRONG WITH Y'ALL.
It's not hard. It's not time consuming. It's not onerous. There's pre made tech in-app for it.
It really sucks that you don't use it. A lot of you are newish here and just screwed up how culturally prevalent it was. Get with the program.

Hi! You're seeing this because someone noticed you posting an image that doesn't contain alt text. This is not a scolding! You are loved! But everyone needs to be convinced using alt text is socially mandatory. (I sure had to be shown the way as well!) Would you mind reading this🧵 about it and why?

Fancy showing off my crafts here on #CraftSky. Have a look at this majestic #embroidery I've recently finished! Gotta send it to my mom as a present.
I adore like these colours! and curls and shades... If you want me to share the pattern, I'll scan it and post the next sky in the thread. 🙌🏻

Here's yet another place I can both ramble and reflect on books I've read, so bear with me 😌
disclaimer: I read mostly in Russian now, so in case I post any covers/quotes, I'm gonna provide them in both original and English languages.

if there used to be 'tweets' on Twitter, then should we call single posts 'skies' here?
Here is a sky full of stars... sorry, a thread full of threads 🤭
(I'm gonna 'sky' generally in English here, even though sometimes probably gotta give a go to other languages I know.)

Also thinking of starting my own Substack. At the moment, thinking of the content strategy and my niche. I do hope it will finally work out 🍀

Long time no see.
What do I have here?
I've listened to several books, I've got married, I've got back to the gym.
Meanwhile weathered yet another one depression episode and decided to learn more about photography.
Revised my Japanese. It's not that rusty as I expected!

A message from Her Excellency for the first day of Spring:
In Spring there is much work: cleaning, repairing, and preparing. It is also a time of great uncertainty, which can bring anxiety and stagnation. Appreciate the light. Celebrate the warmth. Nurture and enjoy the hope it brings.
