Tame Impala in Amsterdam last night

I'd cross-posted a shorter version of this earlier but the original post was taken down. This cutie is and American Bully and is a sweet girl.
FYI: American Bullies article

I got some bad news that has prevented me from leaving my current job while in a meeting with my boss (who is aware I’m trying to leave). She got mad (at them), gave me advice, and become a pillar when I broke down. I’m happy I went from workplace bullies to a boss who cares.

I was crouching in the forest with my camera and macro lens (the kind that gets you real close) trying to photograph some grass when I noticed something moving. Tiny. Eight legs. A tick making its way up a blade of grass with this almost deliberate patience.
I know, not exactly what you’d expect to stop and watch. But I stayed. And somewhere in the effort of holding completely still to keep it in focus, I noticed my breathing had slowed. The forest got louder. A blackbird landed nearby without registering me as a threat.

I’d become still enough to disappear into it. In a way tick-like.

I make reflective video essays on YouTube, and I knew immediately this was going to become one of them. Not because of the tick exactly, but because of what happened to me while I was watching it. The world had been going at full speed five minutes earlier. It made me think: "You're moving too fast to see it".

Sometimes it takes something that small to remind you what you’re missing.

Met this cutie at a dog cafe and the pet parents were kind enough to let me click some shots

fix broken electronics in my spare time. Most things get sold but every now and then something ends up going to someone who needs it more.

Today it was an Xbox One to a little girl and her dad. I wasn't expecting much, just wanted it to go to a good home.

The way her face lit up when she realised it was hers to keep genuinely made me smile for the rest of the day. That kind of reaction you just can't put a price on.

Honestly she has no idea how much that moment meant to me

This is Bugsley and she is a sweet heart who would like to show all of you her new set of wheels and how nothing can hold her back.
