This week on steem has been great. I'm pleased with my personal progress, and a nice $40 byteball airdrop out of the blue was a pleasant bonus.

You may have noticed the little blurb at the end of my posts about donating to @crypto.charity. The first of these posts have started paying out. So far from my posts, that account has gained 5.834 SP. That is not much in the grand scheme of things, but will help them do good things for people who need a hand. I would definitely recommend people consider supporting a worthy cause with some of their STEEM earnings in any way you choose, for many reasons. It is good for the soul, feeling like you can actually make a difference in the world, its good for STEEM - showing that crypto, and the community we have here can make the world a better place, and obviously it is good for the actual recipients of your donation. Those that can should help those that need a hand IMHO.

Loving the #freewrite community this week. It is such a supportive, encouraging group and a fun way to create some regular content for your blog. Give it a go and you never know what you might come up with. Head to @mariannewest's blog, check out the #freewrite tag or look at @freewritehouse.
#teamaustralia continue to be awesome. @choogirl, @centerlink, @ausbitbank and @jackmiller to name just a few continue to be amazing supporters of not only #teamaustralia members but of many many other programs as well.
@curie is also awesome. My first (of many I hope) @curie post payed out this week and that was a nice little boost to my account growth.
@steembasicincome is another great program. I can't wait to see how many shares I have now once they start to catch up on enrollments. In a post (or a comment to someone I think) I set myself a goal of 100 SP and 100 SBI shares by the end of July. Not sure yet if I'll make it or not - better lift my game a bit.
This week in real life has been tough.
Work really does suck at the moment. The pressure and expectations being put on my whole team right now are just unrealistic bordering on plain stupid. Every day I am seeing more and more wrong with the old system and can't wait till the day I can leave my crappy fiat job and live a crypto life. It may be years and years away, but I can see that day off on the horizon somewhere.
Again, been a quiet week for my family, just work, "tag -your-it", 5 hours sleep, repeat.
Did my taxes this week - that was exciting - NOT.
I didn't do a separate "Share Tip update" post this week, but one of my pick's had a great week. Afterpay is a cool business in a rapid growth phase and it's share price is booming. Another one - A medical marijuana company called MGC Pharmaceuticals put an announcement out on friday and their price jumped 10%. They are moving to production stages of Therapeutic products in europe and gained regulator approval there. I don't have shares in them at the moment, but did previouslly. I wish I had some spare fiat because I think they will grow rapidly. This is not investment advice - I am just giving my personal thoughts.
That's it for this week, enjoy your weekend.
John.
