How many driven pros remember a piece at @literaryhub.bsky.social on pursuing rejections?
#Millennials, #GenZers might deride this circa 2016 link as vintage or old-timey! @sjjphd.bsky.social
Still, days after most people dropped #NewYear2025 goals, this is on my writing table: bit.ly/4jJD859

How many "great" or "cool" firms make talented and driven #JobSeekers feel exasperated or angered by posting #GhostJobs?
This segment of "Your Money Briefing" from @wsj.com:

Maybe it's a dang shame @annieduke.com that Good Reads doesn't give #Readers credit for rereading books?
#NewYear2025 is a splendid *moment* for adults to review and improve the way and efficacy of their thinking.
This piece, from "Fast Company" magazine, reminds me some a similiar post, which @derushaj.bsky.social shared days ago on LinkedIn.
(I'm sure that he's forgotten about me having been in a couple of "Good Question" segments):

That caption/ teaser below the image is perceptive and incisive.
I need to truly follow Prof. Sarah's skies.
Brava to you, and your team!
This fascinates me!
With brother Paul being gone, & largely out-of-mind it's too easy to forget his courage, conviction, brilliance and related virtues!
And...it's a dang shame that, after mtg Prof. Sarah 15-yrs-ago at UMN, my efforts to be in-touch have been shallow!
Out-of-sight, and -mind.
Each journal wants you to be sure that you need the access! Bien sur !
Interesting article about the politics - and challenging mechanics - of counting casualties (with a focus on deaths) in war. We still don't know much about the wounded. Underlines importance of military medicine for Ukrainians bc many fewer Ukrainians than Russians.

Not having bothered to watch even snippets of the show for years, was/is Mr. Harrison, or his POV a bigot? (White Americans love not to notice their implicit and worse biases.)
Had I *been* in D.C.... (What's more, if I could've ventured back in time..?)
The social platforms abound. Too much. I'm never *here*!
But I wish that I was smart enough to identify a Twin Cities angle to report about some facet of this book as an indie reporter.
The Cities are in the news semi-often.
(First, I'd need to have, then peruse the book.)
As an award-winning Mpls-based independent writer I listened to this via @Cfr while doing "sexy" domestic chores.
I wanted this episode of "The Presidents' Inbox" to jog my wits for Twin Cities angles on the laws of war: buff.ly/46WHMph @tanishafazal.bsky.social
Given how slow BSky is to rival Twitter, et al, I'm late to this from Prof. 'Nisha!
Nonetheless, this post reminds me of this ep of "The President's Inbox" from CFR: buff.ly/46WHMph #IsraelPeace
How many #Ambitious #Driven adults haven't heard that "everything you want is on the other side of #Fear"? (That may be a surprisingly large group!)
From @Psych Today: buff.ly/3Sj8m7O
I'm an unduly curious amateur. But, having read "The Butchering Art" and other books about medical history, won't infections, and surgery complications abound?
As I consider profiting from what many have called "strikingly handsome" or "you need to be modeling" looks, the state of the SAG-AFTRA strike is morose: buff.ly/46OiDN1
This reminds me of the bare-knuckles world of #Business. #Greed stirs weird conduct.
For the few #Fitness oriented folks who've wondered what I could've been sharing about #Strength training:
A turned ankle hobbles my efforts. This is taking longer than usual to recover.
#Business experts encourage everyone to enjoy many income streams.
After decades of strangers, friends insisting "you need to be #Modeling," I sent my credentials again to major #TwinCities agencies. One of them has too many of moi. (shrugs)
It's remarkable how advice from @Sag Aftra actors about #Fear hold advice for #JobSeekers, those with the foresight into 2024, and others: buff.ly/3Fars89
#Ambition #Confidence If the lessons from the books "Mastering Fear" or "Rejection Proof" feel slight, then...
Among the many strategic and weekly goals I carry for cultural competence, I wish my effort to maintain #French/#Francais was more consistent @afdechicago @LawlessFrench.
Were I smarter I wouldn't cut into a convo betw scholars. But is the book "Is International Law International" less bluntly dry than it sounds to this curious layman?
I haven't read "Wars of Law" yet.
As an independent writer I'm eager for Mpls angles on Prof Nisha's work.
Damn you, @BrendanSlocumb. this is all right!
In a world where #HipHop = #Blackness, to be a caramel-colored man who digs orchestral & symphonic music can feel lonely.
If this story, w/ family as suspects, drives me to page 100, then I might finish it. And tell @goodreads
No matter how #Ambitious about #Fitness, #Strength some days I barely pursue it.
Today I ran errands via #Bicycle for three plus miles.
I wish I could understand why presumable conservative or libertarian groups keep insisting that #Racism has ended or something similar. #RaceDiversity
I assume that's why some groups oppose giving #Business money specifically to Black female business owners:

For those who see something motivational in me working toward a wkly #Strength program: Today, atop of the 7 mile #Bicycle commute to a PT job, I did this. It's a @Fitnessblender #Strength routine including 5 mins of #Pilates.
#Fitness = #SelfCare
Those who are interested in #Speechwriting or #PublicSpeaking, d/n give a rat's butt abt soldiers
– Except to wonder how Adm. Bill McRaven wrote "Make Your Bed"!
During this video he divulges that speech was his back-up plan: buff.ly/3rxN1wq
Abt 25-mins in he admits his Plan A speech would fail.
For the few whom this interests, why am I omitting a photo of moi?
#Fitness
Today, after having completed a @FitnessBlender routine last night, I disrupted a routine by doing an errand via #Bicycle.
To take a photo of moi didn't interest moi.
Adm. Bill McRaven's speech to the Univ. of Texas at Austin was renowned 9-yrs-ago.
Afterward It might've been overly hyped.
Nonetheless, how many professionals review it once or more per yr? #SelfImprovement He reminds us of truisms, which we tend to forget...
