@ai6yr With an established native garden you don't need it. But realistically it's going to take most people at least 3-5 years to get to that stage. If they lose lots of plants every time they take a vacation, it takes even longer. Automatic systems save time, money and heartache.
I wrote this as a response to a question about overcoming harsh, unjust self-criticism. It sums up a lot of my healing journey.
The only thing I'd add, is that having the goal to "be over" something is wildly counter-productive. In fact, I now think it's doing the abusers' work for them.
#Etsy shop update: If you want to buy my cards, feel free to browse my Instagram. I'll be happy to put the cards you want into an Etsy listing just for you and come out of vacation mode for a few days.
Price: $10/card including US shipping. Discount: If you follow me and buy several cards, I'll refund the extra shipping.
#GIVEAWAY I'm giving away five @tim_holtz @sizzix sentiment die sets. There are lots of words for both #cardmaking and #scrapbooking! Two of the die sets include a shadow layer, which is super useful on busy backgrounds.

@some_natalie@briankrebs We need to follow the EU's example on corporate fines. They base them on the company's revenue. A first-time offender can net a fine of 7% of their annual revenue. Subsequent offenses get more costly.
When the fine is seriously eating into corporate profits, compliance comes quickly.
@thomasfuchs Some people find the act of writing hard and/or time consuming.
If you're one of the people for whom text just flows out of their fingers as they think, it's hard to imagine just how much intellectual work some people have to put into writing. At least that's the way it is for me. I only realized how much effort it took by sitting next to somebody who was sweating bullets over every single word. It's painful to watch!
@slcw@thomasfuchs@amyhoy Not so sure about that. Lots of YouTubers use their phones or inexpensive point and shoot cameras, particularly for secondary angles.
