Hiking. Cycling. Curious goofy human. Macro photography. Nature. Video games. Maker of things. Chickens. Digital content strategy.
Trying to find a good place for the minnow trap I was gifted. I caught nothing in the pod where I put it yesterday. Maybe I will find something in the creek.
Sara Lobkovich, J.D., NBC-HWCBeing neurodivergent can make work really fucking hard.
We suffer through our careers trying to read minds & guess at expectations, with an inner voice of:
“What’s wrong with me…”
instead of asking:
“What’s up with this environment that I feel this way?”
So yes, I help organizations increase impact.
But my “why” will always be to make work less shitty for neurodivergent people, so we can make our impact without masking & live with more joy.
A Queen singalong. A nature hike. Hotdog based protest. Other stuff.

@wayword I was recounting a story about teaching a younger relative to drive to a couple friends from different states. The funny part of my story didn't work because they were hung up on trying to figure out what a K-turn was. I had no idea this wasn't a universal term. Do you know if it's regional? Generational? Is there a map? Do you have an episode on this one? (I'm from NY. Friends from Colorado and western Pennsylvania)
Finally scraped together some of my pictures from the eclipse. We had pretty thick cloud cover but it still felt powerful. https://jodybenedict.substack.com/p/our-eclipse
Somehow I've managed to restart my habit of writing regularly again. Lately it's been pretty heavily focused on freshwater pond and creek life.

I took 497 pictures of this tiny water beetle tonight. This might be the best one. The background is a penny so, it was a very small water beetle, if that is a defense.
Our new neighbors are having their property logged. It used to be part of our farm so I know all those trees well. Trying to pretend to be a normal person that doesn't cry about trees and failing.
