david wolfpaw • 8 Dec 2025 • Reading time: 5 minsHello! This is a week-starter newsletter instead of a week-ender, because I got sick out of nowhere last week and it suuuuuucked. I’m still a bit sore and fatigued, but a lot more ambulatory at least.
I wish that I had more to share, but honestly last week was kind of dead for me. Which is alright, having an off week is ok, right? Nevermind the fact that I’ve had a lot of off weeks this year 
This weekend will be a busy one, but this week I’ll be trying to do a little creative work. I plan to focus more on the crafting shop and videos next year, and I’m starting now to get in the groove of it.
Are you working on anything creative for the end of the year? If so, I’d love to see it! Feel free to hit reply and send a message 🥰

I’d known about the Spoony Bard, but I only took it as a funny mistranslation, not realizing that it was explicitly referencing spoon theory.
Many people struggle to align things that they don’t understand with their existing beliefs. But remember that doing so when it comes to other people isn’t just prejudice; it’s harming a real, living person.
Blast from the past! I lived through all of these art styles and honestly had forgotten a few. I love to see how things grow and change, even if styles can be deemed overused by people who yearn for novelty.

A Scot with an Australian ID going to an American company and pretending to be a Swedish executive but only barely knowing a few words of Norwegian. Ah, the life of penetration testers.
First, leave the mindsets that you alone have to do everything, or that you alone cannot do anything. You can, but we all need help.
I love when people seemingly find the perfect niche. I hope for that one day myself.
If you made it this far, why not share this newsletter with a friend? Or share with me some of the things that you found that you liked this week. Either way, I’m thrilled!
