The Beginnings of Man -Part 1
The nature of Man has evolved over millions of years, changed by environmental conditions, by the response of his instinctual nature and by the actions of his ego.

Oh great, another article attempting to unravel the mysteries of #productivity, only to regale us with tales of a #Facebook engineer's legendary #hacks. 🙄 Apparently, if you want to be like Bob, all you need is a custom #Vim setup and the magical ability to transform #caffeine into code. ☕💻 Spoiler: productivity is still an illusion, but at least we got some sweet emoji usage out of it. 🙃

He kept the truth from the people he loved because he thought silence would protect them.
Instead, it followed him into every conversation, every meal, every moment of grief.
They still saw the same son, the same brother, the same man.
But he was already becoming someone they no longer knew.

#MythologyMonday let's talk about King Lycaon...
King Lycaon had 50 sons. He killed one of his sons & fed him to Zeus (because... idk something about wanting to test Zeus's omniscience... or something?)
Zeus was so upset (which is sort of rich coming from this guy), he turned King Lycaon into a wolf.

My ret-constellation for the #constellation #sagitta was to align it with a modern archer (rather than random assorted Hercules stories or an Apollo killing cyclops story) -- some options I considered:
