Okay, what the fuck next?? Volunteer role. "You're sucking at your role." Well, you threw me in without asking me. Try, try again. Get another "shut up" moment. Okay, it's best if I leave. "NOOOO!!! Don't leaaaaaveeee!"
What? You gonna miss your punching bag?

What is with founders who expect a new hire to successfully step right into a role without some time onboarding and learning context? Just because you're a startup doesn't mean everyone starts at exactly the same starting line.

Tech hubs and founders are not where everyone belongs. Vet yourself. Try it. But don't assume it's the right place to be.

Learned a few more lessons today. I want to be nowhere near Washington DC or anywhere else "professionalism" is a measuring stick rather than skill. Believing everything fits one mold or framework isn't realistic and inhumane.

Today is reinforcement that I am not competitive. The ugly in me comes out when I'm forced to be competitive. And I don't like it. So, suck it.

Occasional reminder to not gatekeep when dealing with people trying to be on your side. Unity needs some grace. Train up anyone, especially those asking for knowledge.

When we are fighting for democracy, remember that everyone is not in the same place. Be kind. Bring people in and help them catch up - quickly. You learned, now expedite the process for those just tuning in. We need them.

I was a bit shocked at people who were telling me that rebels/progressives/fringe Democrats (!!) are too combative. Yep, I see it now. The gatekeeping is turning people away. Is it so hard to grasp that people actually DO want to know where they have gone wrong in their thinking??

Now that I know I can ask ChatGPT to compare cholesterol levels of breakfast meats, tried asking it to help me understand how to build a menu around immune-building foods. I'm going to dump it into a PDF, if anyone wants it!

I've often said that I love cleaning closets. Organizing. Decluttering. The clarity is astounding, both in the act and in the result. Can I make a business of this?

Guess what ChatGPT helped me learn today! I have to lower my cholesterol intake. I love breakfast. I asked for a ranking of breakfast meat by cholesterol content. I lumped "ham" into one item. ChatGPT pointed out that Canadian bacon is a form of ham with less cholesterol than... just... ham.

Patience? Who has patience when a pepper looks this good? christysherman.wordpress.com/2025/05/09/c...
Can I pick the pepper yet?
Patience is not my strong suit. Naturally, social media is exhausting for me. Post something, check it. Check it. Check it. Same goes for the garden. Plant some peppers and get a tiny bud of a pepp…

I should love podcasts, but I don't. I do love listening to radio news in the morning.
What podcasts do you recommend that are lighter? Shorter topics, not in-depth?
