When you point a finger at someone, that finger is pointed at a person who probably deserves to be singled out in one way or another.

I finally caved and got the shoes I wanted for ages.
Now I need to work out with the two pairs I'm not happy with that I bought whilst refusing to spend money and buy the ones I actually wanted.
Moral of the story, don't beat around the bush.

Aight, my tall straight asparagi, a beer and a parting shot, of rye and exhortation.
You're not going to be able to truly accept and forgive anyone else until you learn to accept and forgive yourself.
Every strength you have is a weakness, every weakness, a strength. We're taught that they're different, but they're the same.
I don't know the secret to becoming oneself, but I know a step: accepting & forgiving who you are now.
Go out there and be kind, to yourself, yes, and to others.

A mistake in the operating room can threaten the life of one patient; a mistake in statistical analysis or interpretation can lead to hundreds of early deaths. So it is odd that, while we allow a doctor to conduct surgery only after years of training, we give SPSS to almost anyone.

This is your regular reminder that if you are the smartest person in the room, go find another room. You are not going to run out of people or rooms.

Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.

Open science forms the pillar for mankind to invent a better world, and a society worth living in. Or so it should be, if academia weren’t held captive or willing prisoner to commercial interests. Fediverse opens new grazing grounds for #scientists, #engineers, or anyone for that matter, to uncover new #wisdom and #insights collectively.
If only more #OpenScience tools would add #ActivityPub support to join our #fediverse.
But we have @bonfire Open Science app, and @scifed as early adopters.
The free and #commons-based fediverse grows organically, like a beautiful garden. Social web technologies can only emerge and evolve by #CommonsParticipation, crafted by many people with love and the joy of coding, while exploring realms of creation.
Joyful creation is where #fediverse allows us to ✨ social code the social code together.
