I’m a generalist but not a dilettante. I’m an entrepreneur but not a capitalist. I’m a humanist. A scientist. An artist. I’m comfortable in chaos and at rest. To the outside, my life might seem like a set of loosely connected dots. This is the thread that ties it all together:

This! Also, please tell their lead about it. Especially in a remote world, visibility isn’t always there (and it shouldn’t be, unless they’re micromanaging).
Tell a coworker they're doing a good job. You may think they know, but you have no idea what life is like inside their brain.

Last week I bought this rad sweater from my local consignment store. I couldn't figure out why I loved it so much or why it felt strangely familiar. Until… someone just told me it's the @SlackHQ colours 🙈  – at Squamish, British Columbia
