Just finished Austin Kleon's book *Show Your Work!* Took my time with it because it's concise and has a lot of stuff in it.
It's about putting your art into the world. I'd recommend it to any creative person.

Been reading *Show Your Work!* by Austin Kleon. Halfway through and it's great.
In the introduction it describes itself as "a book for people who hate the very idea of self-promotion. An *alternative*, if you will, to self-promotion."
Unlike pretty much every other self-help book, it isn't 80% fluff. The ideas are the length they need to be. And there's good insight in there.
Will be posting more about this one.

$171K = lifetime harm (undiscounted, 2025 dollars).
$98K = present value harm (discounted).Silence doesn’t erase either bill.

$171K vs $98K — same harm, two lenses.
• $171K = lifetime harm per child (undiscounted, 2025 $)
• $98K = present-value harm per child (discounted to today)Why both? Law & budgets ask different questions. Scale vs. present debt.

Even if a majority favors discrimination, Equal Protection protects dignity. That’s the point. “Dignity is not up for a vote.”

Tier 1 = Clarity.
Question: Would a parent or student understand it?Without clear words + local data, no argument can stand.

The Detention Center Premium is real: $66k/deportation in FY2026 ($18.75B ÷ ~280k, TRAC 2025 [1]). Compare: 2016: $17.7k, 2024: $38k (GAO 2023 [2]). GEO/CoreCivic pocket $1.73B, yet conditions are inhumane—kids die, no beds (ACLU FOIA 2024 [3]). #MichiganDignityAct fights this. #DignityForAll #ShowYourWork

That heartbreak became action:
📑 The Protections for Minors Against Harmful Practices Act anchors this harm in law (Sec. 2(b)).Non-binary youth: 31% attempt rate (Trevor Project 2025)
Coercive ABA: 30% ↑ anxiety (Volkmar 2019)
ABA profits: $1.8B vs. $171K harm per child
⚖️ Protect kids. Ban structured harm.

After working on it in my free time for the past five weeks, and putting it off for months before that, I can finally call it finished. At least, a first draft. Or maybe a little more than that. 😉
Ladies and gents, may I present: A dedicated home for my photography. Divided into categories, you'll find not only my personal favorites, but also entire albums.
Enjoy browsing and be inspired!

Ever wonder if it is cheaper to actually buy a value roll of paper towels? Some math for everyone, spending $7.50 AUD ( Sorry it's where I am, do your own calculations for your store and country) gives you 15,120 cm^2 of paper towel per dollar, while spending $4.50 (less money upfront) only gives 12,480 cm^2 of paper towel per dollar.

Decisions
I spend far too much time “working” inside the virtual world. When I get a chance (as I just did) to go do stuff entirely in the real-world, with scarcely a moment to check in online, I end up with piles of backlogged “work.” It’s at this point that I try to pare things down. I’d love to do zero computer work—but that’s not happening while my faculties hold out. Until then, I’ll continue to trim and optimize.

Clear the decks
As I’m getting ready for a road trip, I’m finishing up as many things as I can. I always say I want to spend less time at my computer. That will definitely be the case for the next five days. Yes, please.

Right. In. My. Face.
I keep a board with sticky-notes. Right at eye level, right next to my most-common workspace. What’s the simplest thing that could possibly work? In this case it’s rows for day-of-the week, and date at the top. Then I just stick notes for rocks where they need to be. (The metaphor is that of putting rocks and sand into a glass jar… put big rocks in first. Also sometimes phrased as, “Eat the toad first.”)
This really works well for me. Every time I see the board I think: Am I actually doing the right thing?

Knowledge in
I spend a lot of time reading—frankly, as much time as I can sequester for it. I’ve read several of Seneca’s letters, randomly over the years. A while back I bought this delightful edition from Chicago Press and I’m beginning at the beginning. (There are marks in the book where I’ve already used it for referring to some of the letters.) What knowledge are you putting into your mind?

The view is often the same
The view, when I’m doing my work is quite often a notebook and a computer. I try to make it be outside as much as I can too. Show-your-work photos are booooooring, I know. But capturing and gestating my thoughts, and then tapping on a keyboard. That’s mostly what I do.

Which tools you pay for
In the most-recent Podcaster Community campfire we got to talking about what tools and services are we currently paying for as part of podcasting. So today I put up a simple post in a few places to ask just that.
It’s one thing to talk about what we prefer, it’s another for us to have voted with our dollars. Me?
- Hindenburg Pro
- Zencastr (for recording podcasts)
- Zoom (for everything except recording podcasts)
- Vimeo (for hosting streaming video for the Podcaster Community)
- Discourse (for the Podcaster Community forum)
- Calendly (for scheduling, integrated with all the complexity of my personal calendar)
- Otter.ai (for all the various audio I need to transcribe— pod recordings via Zencastr come with a transcript)
- Podmatch.com

Translating
Stany Foucher recently wrote a book, Art du Déplacement: Au delà du saut. I’ve been working on translating it for my own reading. I can read the French language at an “advanced beginner” level. From the epub version of the book (which I printed so I can write on it), I’m working in a notebook… writing things out longhand is part of the learning process. I don’t simply want to read this book, but rather I want to apprehend this book.

One slip at a time
This morning I was working on adding some quotes to the ‘ol collection. I have a little box with the most-recent quotes, blank 3×5 cards and other little office-supply-ish things. Every now and then I pick up a bunch of those new quotes and move them back into these boxes. Today I realized, the second of these boxes is now nearly full—it seems like only yesterday that I moved the first few inches of cards (like ~400) into the first box. Time to order more of these storage boxes!

It’s just lists
The first 90% of anything is vastly easier than the second 90%. Beginning something (an issue of 7 for Sunday, a new podcast episode for any of my 3 different shows) is so much easier if I know that all I have to do is go through these steps—look, it fits on one sheet, how hard could it be? I can totally do this…
Well, many of those tiny steps are big parts like “write the thing”. But by having all the little paper cuts listed out, I know that I won’t lose the entire kingdom for want of one horseshoe nail at the very end.

Podcasting ‘process’ videos?
I have tons of ideas. That’s the source of my greatest challenge: trying to decide what not to do. The first step is to fully think through an idea.
This one is about an idea for little bonus videos for the supporting members in the Podcaster Community. It’s been simmering in my head for a few weeks. This morning, walked in the glorious weather, to my fave little cafe. An hour of thinking to paper powered by coffee and a sandwich. :)
Now… should I do it? …or leave it in my notebook? 🤔

Show your work
I return often to Kleon’s matra of “show your work“.
I always fade out from the process. I think the reason is that I’m not necessarily doing something related to podcasting every day. (Which is fine.) Without a strong habit of podcast-specific work (for example, “I do podcast stuff at 9am every day”) I don’t get in the habit of doing the extra little bit of work to capture something showing my work…
I’m convinced, my work would be better—and it would help others too—if I showed my work more. But I can’t seem to crack this nut.
Zooming out, away from podcasting . . .
I keep thinking: I don’t have a clear, single thing that is “my work” — it’s not podcasting, it’s not blog writing, it’s not community building [here], … For example: Here’s some notes I took, over the course of an hour thinking about coaching movement, based on a long conversation I had with a coach I respect. We had a coffee meeting where I wanted to pick his brain…
I post all sorts of things here, on the ‘ol blog. In recent years, my posting grew, become a weekly thing which I cleaved off to be the 7 for Sunday weekly email. Here I continue to post new quotes from my collection, copies of all the podcast episodes I do [all shows, anywhere], and a lot of “this is interesting” links that I find.
This morning, I’m thinking: My blog has long been the place where I work with the garage door up. Maybe I should lean into that?
…develop the habit of showing something (anything, from any project I’m working on) there on my blog. 🤔

Kicking tires on #humhub, a promising alternative to Facebook groups. What I've learned so far:
· Easy to install.
· All the features we need in our sustainability community.
· Translateable (a word, trust me).
· Privacy first.
· Made in #europe
· ModularIn the screenshot, we test the new “Let's meet” module, where we attempt to find a time when everyone desires to attend an online meeting. 😒
