Art vs Artist 2025

A year of learning and trying new things despite several setbacks and hiccups. Proud of the work I was able to do this year, and I hope I can keep improving into 2026 and beyond.

I really stressed about putting it in there too, given that some people have taken cozy or wholesome to mean stress free. But I think we need more cozy games with strong story arcs. I really think a game can be cozy but still have real emotions and setbacks.

Had a lot of little setbacks this week.

Power outage is just the latest one.

U.S. antitrust enforcers took three high-profile cases against major technology platforms to trial this year, and that was just part of a government campaign that alleged a range of transgressions and netted one high-profile victory and several major setbacks. www.law360.com/artic...

In 2018, a missed diagnosis led to unnecessary prednisone. I gained weight and lost nearly 40% of my hair.

With proper treatment, my body stabilized and my hair grew back.

After pandemic setbacks, I’m again close to my medically appropriate weight range. I’m writing a book about this journey. 🌱📖

Nearly 100% lot coverage it looks like. I keep thinking about Austin's copious 50'x125' lots but setbacks would make the footprint way smaller.

Thank you! Just trying to make sure I don’t have any setbacks.

You're right, bud. It's not the full picture. Between major setbacks and work grievances I omitted, I'm just simply exhausted and tired of feeling miserable. I'm tired of feeling like I'm not where I should be at this point in my life. However, I'm grateful for the friends I have. 🙂‍↕️

But I feel it's important to share that my journey has not been without challenges of all kinds -- losing my brother, injuries and surgeries, long distance with my family and pets during my postdoc, countless rejections and research setbacks, always questioning career paths... 4/

on social media people are always showing off their highlight reel but never their setbacks. in the interest of balance, i'm going to be vulnerable and share that several seconds ago i accidentally bit into my cyanide capsule molar

Being in that room meant a lot to me. I’ve known many of these folks for years—working alongside them through campaigns, community fights, setbacks, and small wins that never made headlines.

I miss my writing, I miss being creative, I miss my spark. This year has been a lot of setbacks, dampening of spirit, medical problems, and overall rough times.

I'm concluding a great week at #AGU25! Great to catch up with colleagues past and present and I am energized by the way the geosciences community is showing up in this moment when our work is under threat. Even with near term setbacks, I'm confident our future is bright.

If being unwell guarantees repeated setbacks, then resilience is forged one bump at a time. Each obstacle becomes a strength-builder, not a stop sign. Struggle is information, not failure. There is no point in arguing with reality - we have to adapt to it.
