I believe if we all concentrate together, and try really hard, we can make this happen.

This is what this timeline has brought me too. I spent half my day off crafting the perfect photoshop vomit out of stew recipies.

#PsychischeGesundheit ist entscheidend für #Bildung und persönliche Entwicklung!

Das #RBS hat die CARE-Box entwickelt, um Schüler*innen der kommunalen Schulen in ihrer psychischen Gesundheit zu unterstützen. Sie enthält Materialien zur Ressourcenaktivierung. Das Akronym #CARE steht für #Coping, #Awareness, Ressourcen und #Empowerment. Ziel ist, psychische Gesundheit im Schulalltag zu etablieren und Strategien für den Umgang mit #Stress zu vermitteln.

Finding the ‘will’ to step away from the onslought of information (not to say doom scrolling or subjugation to msm propaganda) and coming back to everyday tasks seems to be the way out of the psychological hell. Where to find that ‘will’ if anger and grief is botteld up without an outlet?

This article may help find a way. In the end, it is all about making a decision (truly making a decision, not a wish). It’s a fine line between staying sane and balanced, keeping informed and switching off from anything but the immediacy of homelife.

We enjoyed a powerful full moon this week. As fantastic as it was, the last three quarters of a moon have been absolute hell.

Roughly three weeks ago my employer (nearly 4.5k strong) layed off or terminated about 10% of their staff – the company's first layoff in 17 years. Since then I have been picking up the pieces while trying to meet deadlines on two major projects that my teams are responsible for, despite loosing key players on my teams and on adjacent teams that we are dependant on.

I get that this is not exceptional for many, but after more than a decade in state and local government (safe from layoff) I have been with this company for 13+ years. So a disruption like this after a quarter century of stability (with significant advancement opportunities along the way) is unsettling. This paired with the stress of current events (now and in the recent past) is completely overwhelming for me.

These days I find that I am still passionate about doing what's best for my users, but I have struggled to find motivation for the path that we are on as a company. I still believe that we are engaged in positive – as opposed to exploitative – capitalism, but I'm not as confident about the sustainability of recent SaaS products and trends in general. Thankfully, I do believe I still have value to offer, so long as I can keep waking up in the morning and motivate myself to engage.

One of my many objections to capitalism is the reality the profit motive makes no consideration for the people involved. I work for a company that has a history of taking care of their people, but there are obvious limits to available leeway. So I will buckle down and just keep going, because that's the only option I see.
