I haven’t really used #strava to track my runs for ages, and it seems that lots of basic features that used to be free are now locked up behind a subscription. A bit disappointing. What are other folks using these days? (I’m on iOS fwiw).

Signs of life in fire-ravaged Lytton, B.C., as mayor moves home, museum readies to reopen
Nearly four years after a wildfire burned much of Lytton to the ground, the village is finally starting to show signs of being a community again, with some people moving home and a few businesses opening back up.

"Remember that the teams you grow in uncertainty are the ones that lead you in recovery." - Futurist Jim Carroll
Start building the team you’ll need tomorrow - today.
That's always been a priority for any organization, but it's probably even more important right now.
That's because most companies consider downsizing as the first instinctive reaction in a downturn. That's often the wrong thing to do because they will find themselves in a precarious position as they come out the other side. Don’t just protect your team. Prepare it. Don’t just retain your talent. Grow it!
The fact is, teams who lead tomorrow are being built right now.
Downturns are when truly great teams are built, not just maintained.
Organizations that invest in people during volatility create their future competitive edge, because when the recovery hits - and it always does - the prepared teams move first. So start today. Launch the training. Run the stretch assignment which will challenge your team to do the extraordinary. Bet on someone’s potential. Fuel your people with purpose. Because the future won’t wait for you to catch up.
Why is this critical? Because we’ve entered a new talent era in which skills access is one of your most important success factors. That's a reality, downturn or no downturn. Here's why:
- knowledge is fragmenting. Careers are splintering into hyper-specialized niches.
- skills are degrading. The half-life of knowledge is collapsing
- talent is transient. Loyalty is low. Agility is everything.
- complexity is rising. You need the right skills—on demand, not just on payroll.
- experience is the edge. Teams that learn through doing adapt faster.
All of this means that you'll never have all the knowledge you need to get things done, downturn or not. You are in a constant war for the best talent, a perpetual race for skills. That war doesn't stop when the battlefield of a downturn begins. When others hit the "pause", successful organizations know that when things improve, having the right talent and teams in place will let them fly. So what do they do? Rather than cutting, they invest by pressing the "play" button.
In doing this, they build a powerful currency - loyalty. All around them, their people see people see people being downsized and let go, while they remain stable. That matters - it's showing people they matter especially when times are tough.
Trust me, their loyalty will matter as conditions improve

Futurist Jim Carroll has been speaking about the reality of the skills specialization trend since 1997 when he coined the phrase ‘nomadic workers’ in his book Surviving the Information Age.

i recently came across the below privilege wheel and it made me wonder what "robust" mental health would look like.
so if you're also curious, here is some discussion of "robust" mental health:
* emotional stability: feeling calm and able to manage emotions
* resilience: the ability to cope with the stresses of daily life
* optimism: feeling positive about your life and future
* self-esteem: feeling positive about yourself
* vitality: feeling energetic.
* experiencing positive emotions: happiness, joy, pride, satisfaction, and love
* having positive relationships: people you care for, and who care for you
* feeling engaged with life
* meaning and purpose: feeling your life is valuable and worthwhile
* a sense of accomplishment: doing things that give you a sense of achievement or competence
above are from: https://theconversation.com/what-are-the-characteristics-of-strong-mental-health-139032
many of these are probably very difficult for people who are dealing with CPTSD/trauma. on good days, i can have many of those. but it's definitely day-by-day and i can have long stretches of not feeling many of those at all. so i guess "robust" mental health is when you have most of those most of the time. it's definitely something to think about.
I got out and ran some errands and took a few pics today from the east side.
Most of town is back to business, but there are pockets like this on Swannanoa River road. Biltmore village is still pretty rough.
It's like a deep wound healing.. it'll be ok, but there will be scars.
just bookmarking this for my #cancer #recovery journey: three days ago i went on my first walk outside since treatment (1hr); yesterday i went on my second (40mins) and partially ate my first meal (bc im still using a feeding tube, mostly); today i //may// be going to my first movie in the theater :) .. taking big steps .. ive explained to everyone around me through getting back on my bike for a normal ride will symbolize my full return to post-treatment "normal".

How people in recovery are pulling together amidst a drug crisis in Sheshatshiu
We went to Sheshatshiu to shoot a documentary on drug trafficking. What we found were people with lived experience risking their own mental health and well-being to help others.

This may sound hokey, but one thing that legitimately helps me fear strangers less is remembering that everyone is beloved. When I imagine someone deeply loves this stranger before me (who triggers something in me), so long as I know I'm deeply loved too, I relax a bit and take up my space.
I know this won't work for everyone and in every context, but it has been helping me while I've been traveling. Thought I'd share. Thanks for reading.
As of yesterday I'm allowed to go for gentle walks, so I just walked up to the bakery for a loaf of bread; about 1km each way.
Stopped at the park near the bakery for a few minutes rest before walking back, and patted a random dog who was out exploring on her own (she walked up and sat on my foot, so I figured she was safe).
I'm exhausted.
Windows 11 build 26100.3902 breaks the recovery environment
A new Windows Insider build has been released for Windows 11 build 26100.3902 under the knowledge base number KB5055627. It introduced some new features, such as seamless access to your connected phone right from your PC using the Phone Link feature. It also brought the controversial Microsoft Recall feature, which was infamous due to privacy concerns.
At the end of the changelogs from the official release announcement, there is only one known issue. Unfortunately, it’s a major issue revolving around the recovery environment, the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). The official blog says:
After installing this update, Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) may not work, and you may not be able to use the “Fix problems using Windows Update” option under Settings > Recovery. These issues will be fixed in another update soon.
WinRE is a separate environment from the full Windows installation that allows you to recover your computer from system failures using various tools, such as the command prompt and an option to restore your PC to an earlier point. As described earlier, you may not be able to use the “Fix problems using Windows Update” option, should your computer experience problems.
Microsoft has, however, promised that they’re going to fix the issues soon.

3/ In Dresden leiden innerhalb eines Jahres etwa 50.000 Menschen an einer Depression. Viele Menschen bringen Depression leider noch immer mit fehlendem Willen, Charakterschwäche, persönlicher Schuld und Versagen in Verbindung. Erkrankte glauben, sich schamvoll verstecken zu müssen. Oft ist dies auch ein Schutz vor diskriminierenden Reaktionen.
Nicht selten geraten die Erkrankten dann in eine sich selbst beschleunigende Spirale aus Freudlosigkeit, Hoffnungslosigkeit und Verzweiflung.
Diesen Weg wollte Thomas Reinbacher nicht für sich wählen. Er ging mit seiner Erkrankung in die Öffentlichkeit, weil er merkte, dass er etwas zu sagen hat. Inzwischen ist er deutschlandweit ein gefragter Gesprächspartner, Vorleser und Aufklärer.
Hier sehr hörenswert im Podcast, am 04.06.2025 bei uns zur Lesung in #Dresden.

ANTENNE BAYERN#161 Ein Gespräch über Depressionen- mit Dr. Thomas ReinbacherEin Gespräch über Depressionen – mit Dr. Thomas Reinbacher
280 Millionen Menschen überall auf der Welt leiden aktuell an einer Depression. Die Dunkelziffer dürfte deutlich höher sein. Die Zahl der Erschöpfungsdepressionen, im Volksmund „Burnout“ genannt, hat sich seit 2004 laut AOK verzwanzigfacht. Im Jahr 2030 – so glaubt die WHO - wird die Depression die weltweit häufigste Krankheit sein- noch vor Herz- Kreislauferkrankungen.
Trotzdem wird die Krankheit vielerorts immer noch nicht ernst genommen, Betroffene werden als schwach oder einfach nicht belastbar abgestempelt und jeder von uns scheint zu glauben, es könnte ihn oder sie nicht treffen. Mein Gast war einer von ihnen.
Der Lebenslauf von Thomas Reinbacher liest sich erstmal wie ein Märchen. Schon in seinen 30er Jahren arbeitet er als Forscher am NASA Ames Research Center in Kalifornien, und wird danach Manager bei McKinsey, Amazon und zuletzt bei Google. Er ist glücklich verheiratet, hat ein gutes soziales Umfeld, ein schönes Zuhause und er ist Vater eines kleinen Sohnes. Läuft alles.
2021 findet das Märchen vorerst ein jähes Ende- in einer Psychiatrie in München. Zweimal führt in sein Weg in die Nussbaumklinik, beim zweiten Mal ist er schwer suizidal und muss in die geschlossene Abteilung. Wie es dazu kam, darüber möchte ich mit ihm in dieser Folge sprechen und besonders darüber, was ihm geholfen, den Ausgang zu finden. Nach Grau kommt Himmelblau. So lautet der Titel seines Buches, das er in Eigeninitiative nicht nur geschrieben, sondern auch veröffentlicht hat, weil kein Verlag es wollte.
