Just me, I guess! <cracks knuckles and starts a-scrollin'>
Is there any chance the portraits could be posted alongside the individual narratives? It's just that I am lazy and scrolling back up is work. (NBD if the answer is no, of course.)
I think you have to be a really good sport to go on living for 122 years. I just don't think I could stand humanity that long.
These are so great! I like how F. Douglass keeps popping up!
I am training for a multi-day bike ride this fall. Over the weekend, I suddenly appreciated the numbers and realized that I am going to have to improve my endurance and speed a LOT. I am not just going to do modest rides every couple of days and somehow fall into readiness; I am going to have to push myself a lot harder. The thing is, I, uh, don't really like to physically exert myself? Open for tips on how to make myself push/encourage myself along!
Dialing it back can be SO good for you. I worked in biglaw. A couple of years before partnership, after several years through the wringer, I asked myself whether I even wanted p'ship at this price. I did not. I decided to put in an appropriate and diligent amount of work, but not more -- and to cancel all shit-eating grins, pretending that work is fun, etc. I decided that if this was enough for them, fine, I'd become a partner; if not, at least I didn't grind my life into the ground for a shitty brass ring. I did not make partner. My life is much better now. I say this not to crap all over p'ship if that is your goal, but only to offset all the kool-aid you may be getting.
These are amazing! (the women and the posts about them)
Beep boop. <shuffles in late to party, eats leftover cupcake, shuffles out>
I was signed up, but I don't think it happened. I get the sense that Real Life was interfering with the person who was setting it up. Hopefully she can still email out the matches after the dust settles!
Man these calligraphy things are really going to put me over the edge. 😪💔
