Still trying to unlearn some things, which means my mind is in chaos. If you're struggling out there, you're not alone. It's okay to take a break.

Got this in my inbox. Oh yeah? Tickets start around $4K EACH. $4,000. FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS. No, @StubHub, I'm not this close unless "this" includes financial ruin.

Things I bought that I thought I'd use, but don't: - Ninja Grilli - Spark Amp - Cheap Fire tablets - M1 iPad Pro - Early WearOS watch (cheap) The lesson? I've got to force myself to use these things or get rid of them. (Fire tablets are already recycled bc I couldn't stand them)

Some days, I wake up with energy and optimism. Today, nope. Everything is awful and I don't want to deal with anything. Stupid depression. But I know I'll get through it. It's just going to suck for a little bit. Ugh.

My pal @jimfshr (who happens to be @PCMag's camera genius) put together this video, which helps you pick a used camera. #Photography can be expensive, so anywhere you can save a buck is always good. youtu.be/8KjwOkzA9YU?si=btLA…
