Started my first job this week and dealt with some stress. I’m trying to focus on the positive moments, like when I recognized that I was doing well on my first day. I felt so proud of myself for persisting even though my mind was filled to the brim and my body ached. Change is hard but it can be accomplished!
No matter how progressive or well-read you are, there are always going to be moments in your life where somebody pushes back against something that's so culturally ingrained you never even considered it before. And you'll say "Huh, it never occurred to me to challenge this but you're right" and that doesn't mean you were "morally toxic" before, it means you're a non-omniscient human capable of growth.
The gryphon-doves!

‘Autumnal Tithing’
Conte 12 x 12″
The other adorable millies who arrived last week: Spirostreptida sp. ‘Gorontalo’. A little larger than the Centrobolus, but still one of the mid-sized species.
