- What is it about people who write Weeknotes? by Phil Nunnally. Nunnally perfectly put into words how reading other weeknotes makes me feel.
Weeknotes put us all on an equal footing. Everyone just had a week. What you noticed and how you spent the time and energy is what makes yours different.
- Color scheme toggle by @miuku. Just plain ol’ fun.

- Stay in the gap by Mandy Brown at everything changes. There will always be a gap between what you see as excellent and your abilities. This isn’t a gap to be crossed but one to live in.
- Metric-Less Success by Lawrence Yeo at More to That. Important things in life that are the real goalposts usually can’t be measured by an external number. Treating people with compassion can’t be measured. Living with integrity can’t be put into a number.
- Between queer and LGBTQIA+ by Andrea Vos at Pronouns.page. Queer means so much more than “not heterosexual and not cisgender.” It’s an anti-assimilation, intersectional, patriarchal subversion movement.
- Pause at the top of the slide by Annie Mueller. Stop and start difficult things when they are not difficult. There is less resistance to starting again and you immediately build momentum.

Who am I?
My name is Westley Winks. I try to live my life with integrity by committing to these core values, even when it's uncomfortable:
- Learning humbly. Pursuing and practicing new skills and knowledge that serve my goals, my interests, and other people. Doing it humbly means embracing a beginner's mindset, admitting when I am wrong or don't know, and understanding that I can always learn something from others.
- Serving compassionately and reliably. Helping others, supporting them and nurturing their growth when and how they need it. Doing it compassionately means leading with empathy, taking care of myself, and remaining other-focused rather than transactional. Being reliable is continually building trust with myself and others that I will do what I say I'm going to do.
- Connecting authentically. Investing in meaningful relationships while participating in and adding value to important things that are larger than myself. Being authentic means choosing truth over performance, not sacrificing my values or identity to fit in, and being my true self in any engagement with myself or others.
