I am so #happy and #grateful. My twin sister made me one gadfly repellent and her husband made the other one. #gratitude #thankful

I'm learning so much from patience.
Difficult people who don't necessarily agree with the way I live, teach me a lot of patience.

It just started raining and my food fell to the ground. I'm grateful the the little bit of food I was able to salvage. Paper bags do not work Next time I'll make sure to carry a reusable bag in my back pack.

Lessons are opportunities to learn and grow. They come in all forms. Just now my lesson came in me dropping my food on the ground.
I'm blessed!

I'm very honoured to be among this year's NWO (Dutch Research Council) Veni research grant recipients, for my proposal "Finding Variables that Matter"!

I cannot quite believe it, but I'm excited to get started on the actual research.

Many congratulations to all of my colleagues who received their Veni grants. Over the last few months, I was lucky enough to get to know them and their research, and I can't wait to see what they do with the funds.

I'm grateful to Delft University of Technology and all my colleagues and trainers for their support and trust. The Veni application process was part of my life for almost a year. Could not have done it without their encouragement and wisdom. Many thanks also to NWO and all reviewers and committee members!

The new options on clicking a hashtag are too much. Intrusive, blocking, extra steps.

Steps to drive hashtagging, and steps to give access to features, yes. But this is not an improvement. Maybe a way to turn it off?

Wow… I’m completely blown away!

My online gallery has officially surpassed 3.7 million visits! That is just crazy — in the best way possible. I’m so excited, so honored, and incredibly grateful.

You all are amazing. Your support, encouragement, and love for art continue to inspire me every single day.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Just spent a couple of hours with a long time sustainability leader whose work I deeply respect. They told me I've been their "shadow mentor" for 20 years.

In den letzten Wochen habe ich euch anlässlich der Waltraud-Schiffels-Preisverleihung mein Umfeld gezeigt. Menschen, die mich begleiten, mich tragen, mit mir kämpfen und mich lieben.

Alle – bis auf eine.

#grateful for Bill Atkinson and #HyperCard

HyperSchool is a HyperCard application for schools to do scheduling, attendance, and grades.

It includes thousands of lines of #HyperTalk code, plus some
C code to interface to a scantron machine and to do simulated annealing
before the user gets old.

1. Dad’s doctor appointment went well today
2. Cats in boxes, the allure is real (see image)
3. Love clicking the New Shows icon on Mixcloud every day.

Apparently it's Faculty Appreciation week. Idk if my students made that up but
they gave me a card with heartwarming notes and also a cake! (That we all ate)

#3GoodThings or quite a bit more actually.

Lately things are going quite good for me personally.

1) For my education in animal assisted intervention I'm writing a paper about animal assisted climate communication, combining two of my passions. And I think it will be really good.

2) I want to work in animal assisted education later, but since animal assisted intervention is more of an advanced education I want to get a basic education in education too. My plan is to start both social education and environmental education in the fall. Social education is, I believe, the thing that most people working in animal assisted education have in their curriculum, so it's probably a good thing to have, while environmental education is rather rare, so it might give me an edge for job applications. But mostly I'm just convinced that both will teach me a lot of great skills and knowledge.

3) I've started taking my dog Platon to work (personal assistance for a woman with MS) and since its going well I think I can take him with me every time in the future and that means I can work more (because my mom can't always take Platon) and might finally get out of the monthly red numbers that I'm in for many years now.

4) We're also close to getting the house ready to rent out a few rooms for a little side-money.
That will be another relief financially, but mostly I hope it will mean I have some cool roommates. And maybe some people who can take Platon sometimes.

5) I came out of a depression more than a year ago and kept still taking one of the meds, as its supposed to help the brain get used to how the internal chemistry should be. But it really messed with my memory. Now that spring is coming I'm reducing and eventually getting rid of the medication and I can already tell that my memory is getting a bit better again.

6) I randomly met a friend from school the other day and we started going on walks together regularly and have great talks. That's a kind of friendship I've been missing for a long time.

7) I'm quite proud of what we accomplished at the lately. We finished 2024 almost in the black figures, finally created an account (https://fedi.at/@FediverseFoundation), are regularly posting on our blog (https://fediverse.foundation/en/blog/) and will launch a Pixelfed server tomorrow (https://instapix.org). I'm excited!

@3goodthings

Feeling grateful for the amazing support from everyone here!

It's heartwarming to see so much kindness. Unfortunately, there's a tiny exception – my ex, who's resorted to creating fake accounts just to harass me.

Your positivity outweighs the negativity by far though! Let's keep spreading love and blocking the haters.
