Have this set of morning thoughts:
====
How do you handle hearing critique? Do you have a person you can hear unfiltered critique from without being defensive?

If not, why not? If so, who is it? When was the last time you listened to them? /1
I have ways I prefer receiving critique*, but I also am very aware that critique has many avenues by which it might reach me and I prioritize accordingly.

* (Critique, not thinly veil disrespect.) /2
If the critique has helpful elements, I extract what I can. If not, we can lay that aside. If the critique is not offered by a trusted source, I don't prioritize it as highly as I would from that trusted source.

I think this is something we could all do. /3
One other thing: if I make things that people want to critique in public space, I'm going to let y'all have it; I've given it to the public. It's not just mine anymore.

However, unless you are among my trusted folks? Don't send me intimate comms (like DMs) about it. /4
Send that critique to the channels provided like Discord, emails, or a forum and we'll take that return when it comes up.

That's it. Go do things in good faith or something. /🌻
