Wtf you clever little snooters. 🐀

@cecibaldoni.bsky.social thank you for sharing this unexpected gem of knowledge today.

Shrews are impossible. Wait, I mean... Irresistible!

I have always felt like an imposter teaching others to code.

So this is a very sincere "what an inspiring session", thank you post.

SPAR supermarkets are promoting a broom and stick set in Austria with Veronika.

It reads:
“Einstein among the cows: Spar sells Vroni's back scratcher set”

Vroni is the diminutive form of Veronika, of course.
Thanks to Özge Nasa for the tip!

I used to feel the same. Writing down things truly helped me, don't give up! And it takes time to get to a point where you Remember everything you've done in a day. At the beginning might be 1%, but the more you do it the better you get! 😁
Good luck!

@biotay.bsky.social we still like the cows more 🤣

I need everyone to see my commit message "argh, typos". It makes me look approachable.

It is OK to put down your phone

You have seen the horror

You will not be able to do anything about it until you put your phone down

Put your phone down. Close your eyes. Say a prayer to whatever divine power you believe in, even if it’s just yourself

Don’t stop until you feel stillness
