Using my current hyper focus on photography to practice getting more comfortable with pictures of myself.
And... I actually like these? I actually feel comfortable with I look. That's fun.

Tried to get a cute selfie with Marsha, but she wasn't having it.
Ok, photographers — looking for advice.
I have an old Nikon D3300 that I’ve just started using in earnest for the first time in years. I want to expand my photographic range, but I don’t want to break the bank. So I’m thinking about picking up a new lens.
I have the kit lens and a 35mm prime lens. If I could add only one lens, what would you add?
I’m currently considering either a 40mm macro lens OR an 85mm telephoto lens.
Thoughts?
When I've vented about work a few times lately, I've had multiple folks say things along the lines of, "Stop caring so much. You care too much. It's just a job."
And I entirely agree but THAT'S NOT JUST A SWITCH I CAN TURN OFF.
Like, annoying as it is, my brain is built in such a way that I *do* care about work. I want to know that I'm doing good work and that the work I'm doing has some form of positive impact...
I don't need to be changing the world. And I don't want my work to be my personality... but if I'm in a situation where I don't feel like I *can* do good work or have some form of positive impact... My mental health is going to take a hit.
Grind Culture is Bad!
But not for the reasons you think!
Well, also those reasons...
BUT it's also bad at helping people achieve meaningful goals!

It's wild to me how I can tell whether a job posting has a chance of being a fit for me based on the logo.
"Oh, Product Manager!"

"Never mind, this one almost certainly wants 10+ years of B2B SaaS experience in whatever specific industry they work in."
